Dixie Dunbar

Dixie Dunbar was born on Jan 19, 1919 in USA. Dixie Dunbar's big-screen debut came with George White's Scandals directed by Thornton Freeland in 1934.

She was a vivacious, kewpie doll-like dancer/entertainer of 1930s Broadway and Hollywood musicals. Dixie Dunbar was born Christine Elizabeth Dunbar in Montgomery, Alabama on January 18, 1918, and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. Nicknamed "Tootsie" by her mother, she took dancing lessons at an early age and it was quickly learned that Dixie had a natural talent. Her mom took her to New York where her heavy Southern drawl had her quickly renamed "Dixie."
