Dorothy Appleby Dorothy Appleby was an American film actress. She appeared in over 50 films between 1931 and 1943.Career Appleby gained early acting experience as an understudy and a chorus member in plays in New York City . A newspaper article reported that Appleby "came to New York fresh from winning a Maine beauty contest ." Appleby was seen in many supporting roles, almost always in short subjects or low-budget feature films . She never progressed to leading roles in important pictures because of her height, which made her difficult to cast. The trim brunette stood just over five feet tall, and her early leading men towered over her. She soon found steady if not prestigious work in Columbia Pictures' two-reel comedies. She appeared frequently with The Three Stooges , who were only a few inches taller than she was, and in 1940 she became Buster Keaton's leading lady, for the same reason: her height complemented his. She worked with Columbia comics Andy Clyde , El Brendel , and Hugh Herbert , and she had an uncredited part in John Ford's Stagecoach . Some of her Stooge comedies were Loco Boy Makes Good , So Long Mr. Chumps , and In the Sweet Pie and Pie . One memorable appearance was as Mexican brunette Rosita in 1940's Cookoo Cavaliers . In the film, Appleby gets clobbered by the Stooges when a facial "mud pack" made of concrete dries on her face. Her petite figure belied her age, and she continued to play "younger" roles into the 1940s. One of her last screen roles was a one-line bit in the 1941 Jane Withers feature Small Town Deb .Personal and death In October 1925, newspapers reported that Appleby had married Teddy Hayes, an athletic trainer . Days later, however, Appleby contradicted that report. "Honest Injun, I'm single," she said. "Didn't mean it when I said I was married to Teddy Hayes." On May 11, 1932, she was granted a divorce from actor Morgan H. Galloway. She left Hollywood in 1943 and married musician Paul Drake soon thereafter. The two divorced in 1980. Dorothy Appleby died in Hicksville, New York , on August 9, 1990, aged 84.Partial filmography Paradise for Two - Young girl New York - Young girl Square Crooks - Kay Ellison Under Eighteen - Elsie Trick for Trick - Maisie Henry King of the Wild Horses - Napeeta The Prizefighter and the Lady - Woman in Bar As the Earth Turns - Doris Jail Birds of Paradise - Miss Deering - Prison Warder School for Girls - Florence Burns I Give My Love - Alice Henley Two Heads on a Pillow - Mitzie LaVerne Charlie Chan in Paris - Nardi Let 'Em Have It - Lola Riffraff - Gertie Lady of Secrets - Erma North of Nome - Ruby Paradise Express - Kay Carson Sea Racketeers - Dancer Make a Wish - Telephone Girl Fit for a King - Waitress Small Town Boy - Sandra French Live, Love and Learn - Lou - Bob's Model Making the Headlines - Claire Sandford Stagecoach - Girl in Saloon The Flying Irishman - Maybelle - a Waitress When Tomorrow Comes - Waitress The Women - Treatment Girl Nothing But Pleasure - Mrs. Plunkett Convicted Woman - Daisy Rockin' Thru the Rockies - Tessie The Doctor Takes a Wife - Woman in Book Store Gold Rush Maisie - Hatcheck Girl From Nurse to Worse - Dr. Lerious' Receptionist The Spook Speaks - Newlywed Wife The Devil's Pipeline - Stewardess Cookoo Cavaliers - Rosita High Sierra - Margie - Joe's Girlfriend So Long Mr. Chumps - Pomeroy's Girlfriend Manpower - Wilma In the Sweet Pie and Pie - Tiska Jones Loco Boy Makes Good - Twitchell's Girl What's the Matador? - O'Brien's Secretary Small Town Deb - Tim's dancing partner
