That same year she appeared as an actress in Camille. Her final Broadway credit came in 1927 with the musical Tales of Rigo. Holland made her film debut in 1912 in the short Two Old Pals, alongside Otto Breitkreutz.

Beyond her performing work, Holland held leadership positions in several professional organizations.
