Billie Dove (1901-1997) entered the chorus line of "The Ziegfeld Follies" in 1916 and was an immediate success, considered the most beautiful girl in the show; when she died at age 96 she was the oldest surviving Ziegfeld girl. She made her first movie in 1921; over the next ten years she appeared in forty-three movies, retiring in 1932. Most copies of her films were destroyed in a studio fire.
