Dorothy Provine (born January 20, 1937, in South Dakota) is a singer, dancer, actress, and comedienne.
Provine appeared in many professional and amateur stage productions while attending the University of Washington. In Hollywood, she starred in The Bonnie Parker Story (1958) and The 30 Foot Bride of Candy Rock (1959) - Lou Costello's last screen appearance. She starred in two TV series, The Alaskans with Roger Moore (1959-60) and The Roaring Twenties (1960-1962).
She made a cameo appearance in Blake Edwards' The Great Race (1965). Probably her most recognizable film role is in Stanley Kramer's It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963). She plays Emmeline Marcus Finch, the only main character not obsessed with finding the $350,000 that forms the movie's premise. Provine also starred in Good Neighbor Sam (1964), Who's Minding the Mint? (1967), and Kiss the Girls and Make Them Die (1966).
Provine married director Robert Day in 1968 and retired from acting.
