In 1950, Dot Wenzel married Don Williams and began performing under the name Dottie Williams. Dot and Don were both members of Nate Eagle's Hollywood Midget Movie Stars troupe. She was a singer and dancer, billed as The Miniature Rita Hayworth. I did a search on IMDB, and couldn't find a single screen credit for either Dot Wenzel or Dottie Williams. If there are any recordings of her I'd love to hear them. Printed on postcard stock.
I am her niece. She never made it into the movies. But Don was in the Wizard of Oz Dottie was a wonderful singer and entertainer. I remember going to a night club in Chicago to see her as a child.
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful information. Thank you for sharing!
DeleteWhere was Dot born, and/or spent her childhood, if you know?
DeleteHello
ReplyDeleteAny other information? How long did she perform etc.
I have found one of these cards of her. How much are these worth and how old are they?
ReplyDeleteProbably from the 1930s. As far as value goes, probably not a lot. I rarely pay more than a few dollars for any of the photos in my collection.
