Dorothy Hale, American actress (b. 1905)
Dorothy Hale (January 11, 1905 – October 21, 1938) was an American socialite and aspiring actress. She died after jumping off a building in New York City. Her husband's death, followed by several unsuccessful relationships, left her financially dependent on her wealthy friends. The artist Frida Kahlo, commissioned by Clare Boothe Luce, created a famous painting based on her death, titled The Suicide of Dorothy Hale.
