Dorothy Stone
Edit ProfileCareer
Her sisters were Paula Stone and Carol Stone. The family had a ranch at Lyme, Connecticut. She went into show business at an early age and in July, 1921, she was thrown and kicked by a pony she rode in the second annual circus and Wild West show of the Lights Club, an organization composed of theatrical people living on Long Island.
Dorothy, known as the "Queen of Chinese Chinese Ranch," was shaken up by her fall and bruised by kicks from the pony but not otherwise injured.
Dorothy performed with her father again at the Globe in Manhattan, in Criss Cross in October 1926. The first New York production of the show came to the New Amsterdam in February.
Dorothy Stone died in Montecito, California, on September 24, 1974, at the age of 69.
