1894 - 1963

Der Höhepunkt ihrer Laufbahn folgte in den 20er Jahren, dazu gehören "Heart of Twenty" (20), "Patsy" (21), "Youth to Youth" (22), "Triumph" (24), "Changing Husbands" (24) und schliesslich Erich von Strohheims Meisterwerk "Greed" (24). Mit dieser überraschenden Rolle katapultierte sich Zasu Pitts endgültig in die Riege der ganz grossen Darstellerinnen, die auch in ernsthaften Rollen zu überzeugen wussten. Der Film floppte zu seiner Zeit, gilt heute aber als eines der bedeutendsten Werke des amerikanischen Stummfilms.
Weitere Filme der 20er Jahre sind "The Great Divide" (25), "The Business of Love" (25), " Monte Carlo" (26), "Risky Business" (26), "The Honeymoon" (28), "The Wedding March" (28), "The Dummy" (29) und "Her Private Life" (29).

Der Übergang zum Tonfilm bereitete ihr keine Probleme und setzte ihre Laufbahn fort mit Filmen wie "The Squealer" (30), "Beyond Victory" (31), "The Guardsman" (31), "Destry Rides Again" (32), "Westward Passage" (32), "Blondie of the Follies" (32), "Out All Night" (33), "The Meanest Gal in Town" (34), "Hot Tip" (35), "Wanted!" (37), "52nd Street" (37) und "The Lady's from Kentucky" (39).

In den 40er Jahren nahmen die Filmangebote ab, daneben folgten Arbeiten für das Radio und das Fernsehen sowie Auftritte am Broadway.
Zu ihren Filmen der 40er Jahre gehören "It All Came True" (40), "Niagara Falls" (41), "Miss Polly" (41), "Let's Face It" (43), "The Perfect Marriage" (47) und "Life with Father" (47).

Die 50er Jahre wurden dominiert von Auftritten für das Fernsehen, dazwischen entstanden nur noch wenige weitere Kinofilme.
Zu ihren letzten filmischen Arbeiten gehören "Francis" (50), "This Could Be the Night" (57), "The Teenage Millionaire" (61) und "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" (63) - einem würdigen Abschluss einer eindrucksvollen Karriere.
