Louise Fazenda left the company of Mack Sennett at the beginning of the 20's and continued her film career with movies in which she could show her comedy talent as well.
The 20's constituted the height of her creative power and she filled the audience with enthusiasm with movies like "The Beauty Shop" (22), "Quincy Adams Sawyer" (22), "Main Street" (23), "The Spoilers" (23), "The Dramatic Life of Abraham Lincoln" (24), "The Price of Pleasure" (25), "The Love Hour" (25), "The Bat" (26), "Miss Nobody" (26), "The Red Mill" (27), "Tillie's Punctured Romance" (28), "Vamping Venus" (28), "The Terror" (28), "The Desert Song" (29), "House of Horror" (29) and "Noah's Ark" (29).

The transition to the sound film era didn't cause any problems and she continued her career with movies like "Wide Open" (30), "Viennese Nights" (30), "Gun Smoke" (31), "Racing Youth" (32), "Alice in Wonderland" (33), "Caravan" (34), "Bad Boy" (35), "The Widow from Monte Carlo" (35), "The Road Back" (37), "Ever Since Eve" (37) and "The Old Maid" (39).

She retired from the film business in 1939 and supported humanitarian needs and became an enthusiastic art collector.
