Dorothy Appleby (January 6, 1906 – August 9, 1990) was an American film actress. She appeared in over 50 films between 1931 and 1943.
Often described as a "pretty, apple-cheeked brunette," Appleby was seen in many supporting roles in Columbia Pictures short subjects comedies, opposite the Three Stooges. Thanks to the popularity of the Stooges' film, Appleby is seen almost daily worldwide due to the films' constant television broadcasts.[1]
Some of her more memorable roles were in Loco Boy Makes Good, So Long Mr. Chumps, and In the Sweet Pie and Pie.[2] Perhaps her most memorable appearance was as Mexican brunette Roseitta in 1940's Cookoo Cavaliers. In the film, Appleby gets clobbered by the Stooges when a facial "mud pack" made of cement dries on her face.
Appleby left Hollywood in 1942, and married musician Paul Drake soon thereafter. They were married until her death on August 9, 1990.[1]
