Born in 1911, Marjorie Millsap changed her name after finishing high school, went into vaudeville, sang with Fred Waring's orchestra and made her feature debut in the film "Syncoptation (1929)". In her second film, "Rio Rita", she was teamed with comedians Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey, and appeared in almost all their movies. After the teaming with Wheeler and Woolsey, her career drifted away and she retired first in 1939, returned for some roles in the early 40s, and then finally quit working in films after 33 movies. Dorothy died in 1999.

Cut off all the fringes and that outfit wouldn't turn any heads today. She would.
Ahh! Lovely Dorothy Lee! This picture is a still from The Cuckoos (RKO 1930)where she plays the gypsy girl Anita. She has this outfit when she's Dancing The Devil Away, a fantastic number filmed in glorious Technicolor.
Dorothy Lee was both alluring and cute. She actually retired in 1936 when she married for the fourth time!! When Robert Woolsey died she returned to do a stage act with Bert Wheeler and then returned to pictures, but did only bit parts .
