Born Olive Ireland, Dorothy Earle took the name Babette Perez when starring as "Tweedledee" opposite her husband's "Tweedledum" in a series of slapstick comedies released by Eagle Films back in 1916. He was Manuel Fernández Pérez, (aka Marcel Perez), and would soon enough leave the world of comedy in favor of directing low-budget Westerns starring the likes of Pete Morrison, Dick Hatton, and the mysterious Dick Carter. Mrs. Perez, now acting under the name of Dorothy Earle, both co-wrote and co-starred in Carter's still extant Pioneers of the West (released 1927). Widowed by Perez, Earle later wed legendary B-Western sidekick George "Gabby" Hayes. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, Rovi
