| IN OTHER NEWS... |
The University of Alabama's award winning Alabama Alumni Magazine has done a feature on famous alumni, one of whom is Dorothy, in their Spring 2008 edition. I was thrilled to be contacted by Caroline an Editorial Assistant who asked me some questions and my thoughts on Dot. The most exciting surprise is that Dorothy is featured on the cover! This is Dot's first cover in about 76 years! Needless to say I am so pleased :) It is my hope that Dorothy would not be forgotten, and this is one of the best ways to remind people about her. And what a gorgeous photo too - one of my favorites! Check out the article here: Alabama Alumni Magazine |
| There is a new biography of William 'Hopalong Cassidy' Boyd currently in the works that will be THE definitive account of his life. Since the book will cover his entire life there will definitely be information about Dorothy. I know this because I was contacted by the author and was asked to share some knowledge, information and pictures of her. The book is co-written by William's widow Grace Bradley Boyd and she is of course the true expert on her husband. Grace will even be signing some copies. I have seen only a rough draft and I can honestly say: the finished product will be a very classy and lavishly illustrated book with wonderful history and anecdotes by Grace. If you are a William Boyd fan or a Hoppy fan you do NOT want to miss this one! For more information check out the website: www.russcochran.com Or the Myspace Page: http://www.myspace.com/hoppybook |

| I have come across a few more movies that Dorothy may have been in: "Buried Treasure" a Bruce Scenic Novelty (short documentary) "Bring 'em Back Dead" with Boris Karloff "The Frontiersman" with Tim McCoy "Wet Paint" with Raymond Griffith "The Blackbird" with Lon Chaney "The Last Frontier" with William Boyd So far I have not been able to find her in "The Blackbird" and "Wet Paint" is a lost film. I will publish any findings on this site regarding the others. |
| Dorothy has made it to YouTube again. Someone took the time to make a nice tribute to her - a seven plus minute slide show with lovely music and strangely familiar photos... Click below to check it out, it is nicely done. Movie Legends - Dorothy Sebastian |
| HOMEPAGE PHOTO: I'm not sure the exact year (1927, 1928 or 1929) or what movie this still is from but the initials "TS" are on it which most likely stands for Tiffany Stahl Productions. |
| Here is a two page spread from a 1929 movie magazine. It features some typical studio cheesecake photos all taken by Ruth Harriet Louise. Louise is mainly known for her beautiful portraiture of many famous actors and actresses. |
