She studied ballet, and was educated in Paris, and at Oxford University .[1] As a young woman in World War I , she drove an ambulance and worked in a canteen.[2] [3]

Bourbon wrote articles for The New York Times from 1922 to 1927, usually on cultural topics while she was based in London and Paris,[9] [10] [11] [12] such as a 1924 interview with Emma Goldman in exile,[13] a 1924 interview with Amelita Galli-Curci about feminism,[14] and a 1926 interview with H. G. Wells , in which he speculates on the century ahead.[15] She also wrote for Cosmopolitan ,[16] and Harper's Bazaar .[17]
Bourbon was a writer, producer, and director in radio,[1] [18] including Burns and Allen 's Hollywood Hotel ,[18] the game show Double or Nothing (1940–1954),[19] the drama anthology The Campbell Playhouse (1940),[20] [21] the comedy The Judy Canova Show (1943–1944), Club Fifteen (1947–1953), and the soap operas Brenda Curtis (1939–1940) and Life Begins (1940).[22] [23] She also acted on radio, in The Vanishing Lady (1957).[24]
For the screen, she co-wrote Born That Way (1936), and co-wrote the stories adapted as Atlantic Adventure (1935) and Roaming Lady (1936). She had three television acting credits, for roles in episodes of Thriller (1961), The Fugitive (1963), and Mission: Impossible (1968).
