She acted in at least twenty-one Broadway productions between 1902 and 1945, appearing in such long-running plays as A Pair of Sixes, Baby Mine and The Late George Apley. In the 1920s Troutman, with her husband, portrait painter Waldo Peirce, joined the colony of American expatriates in Paris that included Gertrude Stein, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Zelda Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway.

Her mother, who was born in New Jersey, died at the age of thirty-three just a few days past Troutman’s ninth birthday. Troutman attended Saint Mary's School in Raleigh, North Carolina, where the family had relocated at some point in her youth and, after their return to Long Branch, Chattle High School.
