She was educated in both Montreal and New York, and after graduation from high school she worked as a model for well-known illustrator (and, later, film director) Penrhyn Stanlaws.
She took up a career on the stage, first appearing there in 1908. She signed up with director Chauncey Olcott's theatrical company, and went on the road with them.

La Badie didn't make any films for a year after that, though, at which time she signed a contract with Biograph.In 1911 she left Biograph for Thanhouser. She met with great success in Thanhouser's pictures, and was gradually promoted to lead roles, working there from 1911-1917 (making her the player who worked at Thanhouser the longest).
She became the best-known of all of Thanhouser's players and was wildly popular in fan magazines and trade journals.Although she was engaged twice (to actor Val Hush and writer Daniel Carson Goodman), she never married.
