| Notes |
- With her background on the stage, Dorothy was in her early teens when she started playing bit parts in films. By the time she was 17, she was a star at Universal and she would meet a young actor-assistant director-gopher-scenario writer named Wallace Reid. Called on to act with her in a film, she was frustrated by his apparent lack of acting ability on the first day, but was smitten by him on the third day of their work together. Dorothy was a horsewoman of distinction who had no regard for a man who couldn't stay in the saddle and when Wallace proved to be an excellent horseman, she was hooked. After a six month job with another film company, Wallace returned to Universal and they married on October 13, 1913. The newlyweds continued to work as he directed and starred with Dorothy in two films a week for the next year. When Wallace left Universal, Dorothy also left films, only to return in 1916 to appear in a handful of films. In 1917, she gave birth to William Wallace Reid and became a full time mother and wife. When Wallace Reid died from morphine addiction in 1923, Dorothy and Bessie Love made 'Human Wreckage (1923)', a film that dealt with the dangers of narcotics. Dorothy would not return to the screen again until she directed and acted in 'The Red Kimono (1925)'. Dorothy would later dabble as a producer and a writer.
