She was born in Minneapolis, but her parents moved to Hollywood when she was 5, because they thought she could become a star, having performed on stage. She went to the "Hollywood Professionals School", and she got her first movie role when she was 14 (she had matured early!), and the next year, she signed with Fox, and she had her first speaking role in "Chandu The Magician". She got better roles in 1933 and 1934, but from that point on, her career started on a down slope, and she lost her contract in 1938. She married a Chicago mobster, Johnny Roselli in 1939. She divorced her husband in 1943, but by then, her career was essentially over. She passed away in 2005 at the age of 88. Some of her movies include: Music in the Air, Ali Baba Goes to Town, Wee Willie Winkie, Flesh and Fantasy, and Captain January. Note that she was born Winifred June Vlasek, and she was initially billed as "June Vlasek", but Fox wisely changed her name to something easier to pronounce! AND Dixie Lee (born Wilma Winifred Wyatt) was an actress and singer from the 1920s to the 1930s. She married Bing Crosby when she was 18, and while they remained married until her death in 1952, their marriage had many problems. Bing had major drinking problems, and Dixie became an alcoholic, and they had four sons, but two of them eventually committed suicide, and Dixie died from ovarian cancer in 1952 when she was just 40 years old. She had a brief film career, appearing in movies such as: Redheads on Parade, Manhattan Love Song, and No Limit Important Added Info: UPDATED 09/17/2013: Note that a knowledgeable collector pointed out that 3 of the 5 stills in this set feature Dixie Lee.
