During her movie screen test, recalled Edith Head, who designed Lamour's outfit for Jungle Princess, "Dorothy let down her waist-length hair, stuck a flower in it and got the part." Says a friend, actor Len Hughes, 66: "She was a little embarrassed by the sarong. She felt it revealed too much. Later she would laugh about it because actresses reveal a whole lot more today."

Lamour's lack of pretension and good humor allowed her to have a remarkably long career in show business for someone best known as a glamour girl. She was a popular draw on the dinner theatre circuit of the 1970s. In the 1960s and 1970s, she lived with her longtime husband William Ross Howard III (whom she married in 1943), in the Hampton suburb of Towson, Maryland.[3] After he died in 1978, Lamour kicked her career into high gear, publishing her autobiography My Side of the Road in 1980, reviving her nightclub act, and performing in plays and acting on such television shows as Hart to Hart, Crazy Like a Fox, and Murder She Wrote.
