In Frank McGrath's play Carry Country about the legendary temperance crusader Carrie Nation, Natwick made her Broadway debut in 1932 playing Mrs. Noble. She appeared in a number of plays over the decades, often collaborating with friend and actor-director-playwright Joshua Logan. She appeared in Katharine Cornell's production of Candida on Broadway. In John Ford's The Long Voyage Home, she made her film debut as a Cockney slattern, and she portrayed the landlady in The Enchanted Cottage (1945).
Natwick is best known for small but memorable appearances in many John Ford film classics, including 3 Godfathers (1948), She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949), and The Quiet Man (1952).

She was twice nominated for Tony Awards in 1957, 1957, the same year she appeared in Tammy and the Bachelor with Debbie Reynolds and Leslie Nielsen, and 1972 for the musical 70 Girls 70. As the mother of Jane Fonda's character, she returned to film in Barefoot in the Park (1967). Natwick was given her first Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress because of her role. In The House Without a Christmas Tree (1972), a film starring Jason Robards and Lisa Lucas, one of Natwick's most memorable performances was in The House Without a Christmas Tree (1972). Three sequels were created as a result of the program's success: The Thanksgiving Treasure, The Easter Promise, and Addie and The King of Hearts.
