Frances Lee, née en 1908 et morte en 2000, est une danseuse et une actrice américaine.

Biography

Gus Edwards  l'aurait persuadé de danser dans son théâtre et elle aurait fait partie des Ziegfeld Follies.

Al Christie l'engagea en même temps que son partenaire de scène Billy Dooley pour tourner dans les Christie Comedies (où elle fut notamment la partenaire de Bobby Vernon), sans doute pour remplacer Dorothy Devore, partie à la Warner.

Elle connut l'apogée de sa carrière pendant le cinéma muet (elle tourna dix films en 1929 et fut l'une des WAMPAS Baby Stars de 1927) et ne réussit qu'à moitié sa transition vers le parlant. Elle tourna son dernier film en 1935.

Richard Palmer Grant Dorcy, known as "Canary," (Powell) is an enlisted man in the United States Army. Stationed in the Hawaiian Islands, he has an friendly but argumentative relationship with his sergeant, Scrapper Thornhill (Pat O'Brien). Although he hates taking orders, Dick has no intention of becoming an officer. When General Fitts (Henry O'Neill) arrives at the base with his daughter Kit (Keeler), Dick is assigned to drive her to the reception that evening. Falling victim to the moonlit night, Kit and Dick miss the reception and attend a native luau instead. They are discovered in each other's arms by Lieutenant Biddle (John Eldredge), who is also in love with Kit. Biddle blames Dick for ruining Kit's reputation and Dick decides to desert. Scrapper begs Kit to straighten things out with Biddle.
