She landed a job with George White's Scandals and then made her way to Hollywood and was ultimately teamed with Joan Crawford and Anita Page for Our Dancing Daughters (1928), and Our Blushing Brides (1930).
Dorothy is probably best remembered today in fan circles for her multi-year love affair with Buster Keaton. The affair was no secret in Hollywood, and possibly negatively affected the type of roles she was offered. However, by 1930 Dorothy wanted to settle down and become "an honest woman". While Buster was away in Europe she met and fell in love with William Boyd (Hopalong Cassidy), her co-star in several pictures. After her five year marriage to William ended, Buster and Dorothy got back together for a time, but she finally settled down with her third husband and remained with him until she died.
Dorothy appeared in 61 films from 1925 to 1948. She died in 1957 in Los Angeles.
Dorothy Sebastian - What do you think - Allure?

I would say Dorothy certainly had
allure. I have always loved the
old actresses and Dorothy Sebastian
was the first actress that made my
daughter sit up and take note of.
She had borrowed my copy of "Our
Dancing Daughters" and when we were
talking about it, it was not Page
or Crawford that had impressed her
but Dotothy Sebastian. She has seen
her in a couple of other films and
likes her very much.
