Biography

Dooley is believed to have been born on October 30, 1888 in Glasgow, Scotland to Robert Rogers Dooley, an Irish-born circus clown.[1][1] Her brothers, Gordon, Johnny, and Willie Dooley, were also performers.

She made her performing debut in a minstrel show in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She played "babies and brats" in the Ziegfeld Follies after World War I with W. C. Fields, Will Rogers, and Fannie Brice, among others. From there she moved to musical stage performances.[1]

Marriage

She eloped with Eddie Dowling; the couple had two children, a son, Jack,[2] and a daughter, Mary Maxine (later Mrs. Clark).

From 1919-34, Dooley teamed with Dowling for Ziegfeld Follies and in Thumbs Up in 1934, after which she retired. She came out of retirement in 1948 to appear in Hope's the Thing and Home Life of a Buffalo.[1]

Death

Ray Dooley died on January 28, 1984 at her home in East Hampton, New York.[3]

1. ^The 1920 US census gives her approximate year of birth as 1894, but the Social Security Death Index cites "Rachel Dowling; born 30 October 1888; died January 1984 at 11937 East Hampton, Suffolk, New York, USA". VIAF and IBDB and IMDB use "October 30, 1896". Findagrave uses: "30 October 1888". Her birth and baptism records should be available from Scotland but the Social Security Death Index will be considered the most accurate until then.
