| Ziegfeld Girl Or Not? |
| Many famous actresses got their start in the Ziegfeld Follies. For instance Marion Davies, Paulette Goddard, Barbara Stanwyck, Billie Dove and Mae Murray among others. Although I haven't found any evidence that Dorothy was a "Follies Girl" (With the exception of an early erroneous press release saying she was), she was definitely a "Scandals Girl" in George White's 'Scandals Of 1924' music revue. Maybe what leads many to believe that she was a Follies Girl are the photos taken by Alfred Cheney Johnston who is known for his artistic pictures of the Follies Girls. |
