Mini Biography

The daughter of the clergyman and a mom, who was simply an accomplished painter of portraits and scenery, Stella Dorothy Sabiston spent her formative years in her house state of Alabama. She got three siblings, most of whom passed away relatively youthful. She went to the College or university of Alabama, but constantly harbored ambitions to become an celebrity. In the first 1920s, the curly-haired brunette deserted her research and ran aside to NY (as Dorothy Sebastian), where she used acrobatic dancing in the renowned Ned Wayburn academy. By enough time she got elocution lessons to eliminate her visible southern drawl, Dorothy got her 1st failed relationship (1920-24) behind her. Surviving in a cheap house, and after many rejections, she got her first work in display business like a chorus young lady in “George White’s Scandals” in June 1924. The display opened in the Apollo Theater and went for 198 shows, closing in Dec. Sometime ahead of that, relating to recollections of fellow solid member and friend Louise Brooks, Dorothy struck up a relatively personal reference to then-British cupboard minister Lord Beaverbrook. Their interacting with took place throughout a party in the Ritz Resort in an house owned by maker Otto Kahn, of which many Scandals women and Hollywood makers were present. The outcome was an MGM agreement for Dorothy. She showed promise in her first film, Sackcloth and Scarlet (1925), starring Alice Terry. Very much to her chagrin, as her profession continued she was frequently solid as vamps or, at least, disreputable or hard-boiled “additional ladies” in movies like Hell’s Isle (1930). Sometimes she played great girls, for example in A FEMALE of Affairs (1928), with Greta Garbo. After that there have been ‘friends from the heroine’ assignments, including her main successes, Our Dance Daughters (1928) with Joan Crawford, and Spite Relationship (1929) with Buster Keaton(to whom she was romantically connected at that time). By the end of her five-year agreement with MGM she requested a increase (her weekly income amounted to $1,000 weekly), but was refused. Out of the agreement, her film profession faltered after many “Poverty Row” productions at Tiffany and, finally, a respected function in the (on her behalf) ironically entitled They Never KEEP COMING BACK (1932). Thereafter, like therefore many other stars who bucked the studio room system or just didn’t make the quality as major superstars, she was relegated to minimal supporting jobs (while some of them had been in A-grade images like The Females (1939) and Reap the Crazy Wind flow (1942), which starred Ray Milland and John Wayne). Unfortunately, Dorothy Sebastian grabbed the news not always due to her profession: the three-times-married actress was involved with several well-publicized court cases more than tax evasion (1929), acrimonious divorce proceedings from ex-husband William Boyd (of ‘Hopalong Cassidy’ fame) (1936), a dui charge after a celebration at Keaton’s house in November 1938 (naively suggesting a meal of spaghetti and garlic have been in charge of “retaining the intoxicating odor of your wine”) and a charge with a NORTH PARK hotel of not really paying a $100 account, that was afterwards dismissed (she ultimately countersued the hotel for defamation of character and was awarded $10,000). Through the battle years Dorothy proved helpful as an X-ray specialist at a protection vegetable, Bohn Aluminium & Brass, but continuing to do something in little parts. She fulfilled her third hubby at the moment, the aircraft specialist Herman Shapiro. Dorothy got a brief picture with Gloria Grahame in It’s an excellent Life (1946), nonetheless it ended up for the slicing room flooring. After being sick for quite a while, Dorothy passed away of tumor in August 1957 on the Motion Picture Nation House, Woodland Hillsides. She’s a star around the Hollywood Walk of Popularity on Hollywood Boulevard.
