Meredith was born in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and moved to Hollywood in the mid-1920s after winning a beauty contest that brought her to the attention of talent scouts. She was pretty, with a petite build and was 5 feet tall. Her first credited role was in the 1925 film Blue Blood, starring alongside George Walsh and Cecille Evans. She starred in two films that year, and was one of thirteen girls selected to be "WAMPAS Baby Stars", a list which included June Marlowe, now famous for her role on the Our Gangserials. Her second film of 1925 was opposite Dorothy Dwan in The Perfect Clown.
In 1926 she would star in four films, the first of which would place her alongside George Walsh once again, this time in The Count of Luxembourg. Her second film that year was The Fighting Boob, followed by a western placing her in the role of heroine opposite early cowboy film star Bill Cody. However, her career never really took off as hoped, and she would leave acting behind after only six films. Her last film of her short-lived career was her best remembered, due to it helping to launch the career of Mae Busch, titled The Truthful Sex, and which also starred Huntley Gordon. Meredith left acting following that film, working for a time as a model, eventually settling in Los Angeles, where she resided until her death on October 13, 1980.
