FRANCES DEE SELECTS HER OWN ROLES
Frances Dee shares with such players as Ronald Colman, Greta Garbo, Jean Arthur and Barbara Stanwyck the right to pick and choose her roles. Miss Dee, whose latest part is in Columbia’s “Coast Guard” with Randolph Scott,
plays in fewer films than the majority of the stars because she will accept no role she believes is unsuited to her. Her rare appearances on the screen have, therefore, been roles of outstanding merit. She won her greatest applause as Meg in “Little Women” and Was the romantic lead in such films as Ronald Colman’s “If I Were King,” Gary Cooper’s “Souls at Sea” and in “Wells Fargo” in which she played opposite her own husband, Joel McCrea.
