MINO BIO:
Weepy-eyed and careworn-looking, Dorothy Adams' characters wore an expression of permanent dismay and were often pioneer women or working-hard-for-the-kids wives, ground down by life and/or the land. Adams was richly described by one 1950's correspondent as 'a human wailing wall'. She was married to fellow character player, Byron Foulger. In the early 1960s she became a lecturer on theatre arts at the University College of Los Angeles, and appeared less often in cinema and television from then on.
