#	Quote
1	[on producer Harry Sherman] He was high on [Joel McCrea]; they loved westerns, and Sherman didn't think Paramount did right by Joel. He was rugged looking, with white hair. An outdoor man, an athlete--he was in those long bicycle marathons. He always liked bicycle riding--even in later years. He was charming, strong-looking, tall, and couldn't have been nicer to work with. He included everyone in on things. He was a very expansive kind of man. His personality suited his appearance.
2	I wanted to give up my career when I married [Joel McCrea], but he wouldn't let me. I thought marriage, a home, husband and family were all I wanted. Joel knew I was sincere in my belief but he was wise enough to realize that sooner or later I might miss my work and blame him.

#	Fact
1	Educated at the University of Chicago.
2	Her husband Joel McCrea died on their 57th wedding anniversary.
3	Sister of Margaret Dee, who appeared with her in Becky Sharp (1935).
4	She and her husband were staunch Republicans and personal friends of Ronald Reagan.
5	First grew interested in acting when she was cast as the lead in a senior play at Hyde Park High School.
6	Born in Los Angeles, she and older sister Margaret (born in 1908) moved when she was quite young to Cincinnati, then to Washington D.C., before finally settling in the Hyde Park area of Chicago where the sisters attended Shakespeare Grammar School.
7	Had three sons by Joel McCrea: Jody McCrea (born 1934), David McCrea (born 1935) and Peter McCrea (born 1955). Son Peter married Jack Lemmon's daughter Courtney Lemmon on March 24, 2001. Both Jody, David and their families live in New Mexico. Frances passed away in Connecticut where she was staying with son Peter.
8	Met future husband Joel McCrea on the set of The Silver Cord (1933). He had been smitten after seeing her in the movie An American Tragedy (1931) and requested that she be cast in his movie. During the filming, however, she was seeing off-screen co-star Eric Linden. Joel and Frances began dating after the movie was completed, after her romance with Linden was over. It was her relationship with McCrea that compelled her to sign with RKO.
9	Initially had a screen test for the role of "Scarlett O'Hara" and was actually George Cukor's first choice for the role of "Melanie" in Gone with the Wind (1939), but was deemed by David O. Selznick as being too similar in beauty to Vivien Leigh to play the role. Olivia de Havilland was then given the part.
10	In 1935 she and husband Joel McCrea separated, but soon reconciled. In 1966 McCrea filed for divorce, charging her with cruelty, however, the couple stayed married until McCrea's death.
11	The nonagenarian actress was a huge hit at the 1998 Memphis Film Festival in Tunica, Mississippi. Dee's biographer Andrew Wentink said she gained new fame in the 1990s for her role in films that forced the adoption of a Hollywood code on morality in the 1930s.
12	In 1995 she donated 220 acres of her Thousand Oaks, California, ranch to the Conejo Recreation and Park District to be preserved as parkland. In 1981 she and husband Joel McCrea had given 75 acres to the District.
13	She accepted the role in I Walked with a Zombie (1943) so that she could use her salary to purchase a new automobile for her mother.
