About Dorothy Flood

Dorothy Flood was a ballet dancer, model and an actress. She performed in the 1931 Ziegfeld Follies (a series of theatrical productions on Broadway). She was also in a show with Maurice Chevalier when he sang in the Rainbow Room.

She and Bing Crosby used to drink tea backstage together at rest breaks during a show they were doing together. Dorothy counted among her many friends Buddy Ebsen (whom she had worked with in Whoopee!) and his sister Vilma.

She also was in a few Marx Brothers movies, but said her scenes usually ended up on the cutting room floor.

Dorothy attended Children's Professional School in New York. Early on, she was a ballet dancer with The Metropolitan Opera Company.
