Biography:Nicknamed "Echo," "Dorothy De Borba" was the little brunette with the festive hair bows in the 1930-1933 "Our Gang" comedy shorts. De Borba arrived in the series at the dawn of sound, along with "Jackie Cooper", Chubby Chaney, Stymie Beard, and "Mary Ann Jackson", and her first series entries were released in both talkie and silent versions. Although the grown-up De Borba often complained that the boys were awarded the best lines, she certainly enjoyed her full share of quips in perhaps her best short, "Love Business" (1931), the one in which "Jackie Cooper" gets a fiery crush on Miss Crabtree ("June Marlowe". De Borba, who had made her screen debut in the comedy-drama "A Royal Romance" (1930), left films after playing an autograph-hound in "Jean Harlow"'s "Bombshell" (1933). ~ Hans J.
