Adding to her creative achievements, Lee adapted “Spoon River Anthology” into a powerful one-woman performance titled “The Women of Spoon River: Their Voices from the Hill,” in which she portrayed 24 different women.

The production premiered at the Robinson Theater on the Indiana University Southeast campus in New Albany, Indiana, before moving to a multi-week run at Theatre West.

In a 2013 interview, Lee also revealed she was working on a memoir titled “From the Boardwalk to the Catwalk,” though it has yet to be released.

A Lifelong Commitment to Giving Back

Beyond her work in entertainment, Lee has remained deeply involved in humanitarian efforts and charitable causes. She continues to serve as the Honorary Chairman of “ABILITY FIRST,” formerly known as the “Crippled Children’s Society.”

She was also an honorary member of “Women in Show Business,” a philanthropic organization that funded reconstructive surgery for children in need, and was twice honored as their “Angel of the Year.”

Her dedication extended even further, having served as National Education Chairman of the “American Cancer Society” and as the Los Angeles Chairman for the “Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.”
