+She continued the role for the next three years until 1937 when the creators of [[The Midnight Sleuth (radio)|The Midnight Sleuth]] needed a voice for their character of [[Linda Talbot (character)|Linda]], a streetsmart but caring female reporter to balance out their bumbling idiot detective. When Opul Soap got wind that she was trying out for the production, they immediately wanted to be sponsors as they knew listeners would recognize Dorothy's voice and associate the show with their brand.

+The idea worked as the show ran for almost 10 years and a total of 120 episodes. Dorothy eventually stopped being the voice of the company but would occasionally chime in from time to time as newer female voice actors took over the role.

 Having officially retired from acting, Dorothy moved with her new husband, William, to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in 1967, where they settled down and lived near the beach. In 1982, Dorothy was diagnosed with cancer from years of smoking. The doctors only gave her another two years to live, however she managed to live for another 9 years, outliving a few of the doctors who gave her the diagnosis.
