Dorothea Kent appeared in several two-reel comedies with Buster Keaton. She made one with the Three Stooges, where she was billed as "Dorothy Kent", presumably a misspelling. She has been compared to Marie Wilson, who played similar roles in motion pictures of the period prior to becoming famous as "My Friend Irma".
