Billed as Mary Rose, Brady debuted on stage in 1911 in New Haven in the operetta The Balkan Princess.
In 1913, Brady appeared with John Barrymore in A Thief for a Night (adapted by P. G. Wodehouse and playwright John Stapleton from Wodehouse's novel, A Gentleman of Leisure) at McVicker's Theatre in Chicago.
 She continued to perform on Broadway (often in shows her father produced) consistently for the next 22 years.
In 1931 she appeared in the premiere of Eugene O'Neill's Mourning Becomes Electra.
Her step-mother was actress Grace George (1879–1961), whom her father married when Alice was a child.
Her half-brother was William A. Brady Jr, the son of her father and Grace George.

Brady's father moved into movie production and presentation in 1913, with his World Film Company, and Brady soon followed along after him, making her first silent feature appearance in As Ye Sow in 1914.
She appeared in 53 films in the next 10 years, all while continuing to perform on stage, the film industry at the time being centered in New York.

In 1923, she stopped appearing in films to concentrate on stage acting, and did not appear on the screen again until 1933, when she made the move to Hollywood and M-G-M's When Ladies Meet become her first talking picture.
 From then on she worked frequently until her death, making another 25 films in seven years.
 Her final film was Young Mr. Lincoln (1939).
