Meredith was born in Sioux City, Iowa, but grew up in Eagle Rock, California. She was active in journalism and dramatics at Eagle Rock High School, from which she graduated. She worked as a cashier in a Los Angeles theater before she became an actress.[2]

Meredith began her film career in the early 1930s, often starring in film serials while on contract with Columbia Pictures. Her best-known roles were in the 1938 serial The Spider's Web, and in the 1939 serial Overland with Kit Carson.

Most of her films were with Starrett, from 1936 through 1940, most notably Riders of the Black River and Spoilers of the Range.

Her career slowed mid-way through the 1940s. In 1941 she starred in The Son of Davy Crockett with Bill Elliott, and Caught in the Act opposite Henry Armetta.

In total, Meredith starred in over 50 films, 32 of which were westerns.
