Dorothy Granger was my father’s sister (my aunt). In fact, my middle name is Carolyn because I was named after her, although she spelled hers Karolyn. She was an enthusiastic and fun person. My father, Jim, played an extra in several movies and was good friends with the Gumm sisters (Judy Garland), Sidney Miller, and Ann Miller. The whole Granger family was in vaudeville and were dancers and entertainers. Their mother, my grandmother, Lucille attended a music conservatory for piano when she was young.

Dorothy Granger Hilder was one of the greats! She used to phone me out of the blue just to chat–which always happily surprised me as I wasn’t that close to her as I was to some of the other L&H folks. (Dorothy had some health problems in later years–shingles among them–which prevented her from getting out or seeing people all that often.) She and her husband Jack ran a furniture store for years in the San Fernando Valley. She’s best known in L&H circles for her two roles in “Hog Wild” (I think I was the first person she told that she was also the girl navigating the mud puddle) and her appearance in “L-H Murder Case,” but of course she’s great in Charley Chase’s “The Pip from Pittsburgh,” The Three Stooges’ “Punch Drunks,” and any number of Leon Errol shorts. She was a sweetheart, on screen and off.
