Dorothy Sebastian

Dorothy Sebastian was an American film and stage actress.

Sebastian was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama. In her youth, she aspired to be a dancer and a film actress. Her family frowned on both ambitions, however, so she fled to New York at the age of 15. Upon her arrival in New York City, Sebastians southern drawl was thick enough to cut with a knife. She followed around theatrical agents before returning at night to a 12amonth room, after being consistently rejected.
