She went from being a struggling vaudeville performer to the female vocalist in one of the most successful bands in the country to a star in the new-fangled talking pictures all within the span of a few short years. During the Great Depression, she lived a fairy-tale existence, rubbing shoulders with Hollywood luminaries and earning an income that most people could only dream of. She retired and balanced domestic life with charity work. And she saw, to her amazement, a revived interest in the movie career she had written off long ago. Based on years of conversations between the authors and Dorothy Lee, this book is an informative biography filled with revealing insights on navigating the studio system during Hollywood's Golden Age and the ephemeral nature of fame.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"a wonderful book...I just love knowing that we live in a world where we can read a book like <i>Dorothy Lee</i>.
