Singer/actress/great beauty Dorothy Dell, 96.  Nearly forgotten today, Dorothy Dell was on the Hollywood fast-track to stardom, having first been discovered by Florenz Ziegfeld for his Follies in New York.  She was killed in a tragic car accident in Hollywood in 1934.  She was only 19 years old.  Here she is, singing to Shirley Temple in Little Miss Marker.
