Dorothy Janis
Dorothy Penelope Jones (February 19, 1912 – March 10, 2010) was an American actress who briefly appeared in silent and early sound films during the late 1920s and early 1930s. Born in Dallas, Texas, she entered films after being discovered while visiting a Fox studio set in 1927, leading to a short but notable screen career. She appeared in a handful of silent films before gaining recognition opposite Ramón Novarro in MGM’s part-sound romance "The Pagan" (1929), in which she was heavily promoted by the studio. Her only full talkie was "Lummox" (1930) for United Artists. Janis retired from acting shortly afterward and later married bandleader Wayne King in 1932. She lived a long life, passing away in 2010 at the age of 98, and was among the last surviving performers of the silent film era.
