Dorothy Dell

Dorothy Dell (born Dorothy Dell Goff; January 30, 1915 – June 8, 1934) was an American film actress. She died in an auto accident at the age of 19. Initially desiring to become a singer, Dell was discovered by composer Wesley Lord, and signed a radio contract. Some time later, she established a successful vaudeville act, and after working on the vaudeville circuit for 32 weeks, she moved to New York in 1931. One night, she sang at a benefit and was discovered by Florenz Ziegfeld, who arranged for her to appear on Broadway in the Ziegfeld Follies. She followed this success with her role in the production of Tattle Tales in 1933.
