In 1926, the sisters made a short musical film, the script of which Renee had written. It was produced by Lee De Forest, whose process, Phonofilm, enabled a soundtrack to be played alongside the film. Houston married three times, the second was to the actor Patrick Aherne, the brother of Brian Aherne. They had four children: Patrick Anthony and Alan Brian, and Teri and Trevor. Her third husband was the actor Donald Stewart. In her later years, she specialised in "battleaxe" roles, notably as shop steward Vic Spanner's formidable mother in Carry On at Your Convenience.
