After finishing high school, Dorothy Lee went to vaudeville, sang with

Syncopation (1929). In
Rio Rita (1929) she was teamed with
Bert Wheeler and
Robert Woolsey and appeared in
almost all of their movies, like

The Marx Brothers' films. She had a

Jimmy Fidler in 1931. After the Wheeler and
Woolsey team split up, her career drifted away and she left the film
business in 1939. She returned for a few more films in the early '40s,
but then permanently retired after that.
