Back in the early 60's, when various young men and women emerged from Warner Bros. studios, they were youngsters with stars in their eyes. Most of them were initially put into television series as a regular and received instant stardom. One of these players was Dorothy Provine, the zany blonde who was was wonderful at comedy. As a leading lady she lacked the looks, still the series 'The Roaring Twenties' catapulted her to instant stardom. I enjoyed her performances in such hits as "The Wall of Noise" that starred Suzanne Pleshette and Ty Hardin; Dorothy was part of the ensemble cast of "It's a mad, mad world" and provided the audience with her quota of laughs. She was fantastic in a spin-off from the series "The man from UNCLE" - the episode was shown as a feature movie and was titled 'One spy too many" with those two top faves, Robert Vaughn and David MacCallum. I may have seen Dorothy in films during the late 60's and early 70's, but the titles don't come easily to mind
Thank you. She was a product of the University of Washington drama department. I knew her career only through The Roaring 20s, That Darn Cat, and a record album. Big she wasn't, but she was a UW product. It's nice to know this.
