Dorothy DeBorba

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dorothy Adelle DeBorba (born March 28, 1925) is a former American 1930s child actress who was a regular in the Our Gang short subjects series from 1930 to 1933. She is of Portuguese Azorean ancestry.[1]

DeBorba was with the Gang for three years, beginning her career at age five. Quickly, Dorothy became an audience favorite with her trademark curls and elaborate hair bows. Her mother made those bows and would spend two hours every night brushing and putting Dorothy's hair up in curlers. Of course, her natural energy and mischievousness added to her appeal. Although she stated "...the boys (in the series) were given all the best lines", in "Love Business", Dorothy delivered some of the funniest lines in the entire series.

She is a native of Livermore, California (San Francisco Bay area), where she still resides today.
