In 1939, Windsor was chosen from a group of 81 contestants<ref>{{cite news| title=B.Y.U. Girl Crowned Queen of S.L.

Voluptuous and leggy, but unusually tall (5'9") for a starlet of her generation, Windsor felt that she was handicapped when playing opposite actors of average stature (claiming she had to progressively bend at the knees walking across the room in scene with [[John Garfield]]).<ref name="Tell p.181">''Celebrity Diss and Tell: Stars Talk About Each Other'', Boze Hadleigh p. 181.</ref> As she later recalled, a production with the 6’5” [[Forrest Tucker]] as co-star made her happy with finally getting a male lead who was her 'own size'.<ref name="Tell p.181"/>

In later years, thanks to her early screen success, Windsor was able to pursue her studies more extensively, primarily with [[Stella Adler]]<ref name=piute/> and also at the [[Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute]].<ref>Arkatov, Janice.

"Currently, the objects of that vitality include a son (Ricky, 23), tennis ('though lately I haven't been playing so well') and art (she's sold more than 100 of her paintings)--along with civic duties (the Thalians, John Tracy Clinic, Screen Actors Guild) and ongoing studies (Stella Adler, the Lee Strasberg Institute, Harvey Lembeck Workshop and a recent screen writing class at UCLA)."</ref>

Her first film contract, with [[Warner Bros.]] in 1942, resulted from her writing jokes and submitting them to [[Jack Benny]]. Windsor said she submitted the gags under the name M.E.
