Biography:American actress "Lee Purcell" received her first movie break in 1970's Adam at 6 AM, portraying Jerri Jo Hopper, the young vis-a-vis of liberal college professor Michael Douglas. Most of her later film roles were secondary but sizeable (see "Kid Blue" [1973] and "Mr. Majestyk" [1974], both dominated by their male stars). Ms. Purcell was better served on television, where she appeared in such roles as silent film starlet Billie Dove in the 2-part "The Amazing Howard Hughes" (1976). In the same vein, Lee Purcell played '40s movie actress "Olivia de Havilland" in the 1985 biopic "My Wicked, Wicked Ways: The Legend of Errol Flynn." ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
