Dorothy Abbott
Born: 16 December 1920, Kansas City, Missouri, USA
Died: 15 December 1968, Los Angeles, California, USA
Dorothy Abbott began her showbusiness career as a model and a showgirl. This lead to film work in a similar vain. Although Dorothy's dream was to be a star, her reality was that she was usually offered non-speaking bit roles and never broke out of this mould. Occasionally she would get a line of dialogue and would even star in a seedy independent film, but none of this helped her career in films progress. When television became more popular, Dorothy would occasionally be given guest roles in shows like 'Dragnet' and 'The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet'. Sadly, Dorothy Abbott took her own life the day before her 48th birthday.
