If had not been for the kindness of my very dedicated friend visiting her she would have died alone after giving so much joy to others. I stopped typing and almost fell out of my chair as I had watched those movies as a child and felt so bad. Too bad royalties weren’t available then. I have some pictures of her, thanks to her of Dottie when she was 5 & 6 playing Phronzie. The woman that found her is a huge Peppers fan and owns all the movies. “Dottie was actually Dorothy Ann Seese, a child star with the potential of Shirley Temple, but her parents yanked her movie career after she starred in the Five Little Peppers series of 4 or 5 movies in the late 30’s and early 40’s. However, a woman discovered her on IMDB and would love to attend if she weren’t so ill. That will be it because Dottie had no family.

“Dottie’s former neighbor, myself, her hospice nurse & pastor will be there. Today, I asked my friend when her ashes were going to be scattered, and wondered if there would be anyone there– as in reality she had no family left. Sadly, Dottie died a few months ago, and I felt the same way as if my neighbour had died. I had seen pictures of her and heard so much about her I felt like I knew her personally. Dottie has been in a senior’s hospice, and I have been following her health for a long time even though I didn’t know her.

For over a year or maybe even two, a good friend in Arizona has been a caring friend for a woman named Dottie.
