THE JAZZ SINGER Academy Screening – Photos
A handful of celebrities showed up at the 80th anniversary screening of The Jazz Singer, the first feature film with bits of audible dialogue and songs, on October 5, 2007, at the Academy of Motion Picture of Arts and Sciences‘ Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.
Author Allan Ellenberger, a celebrity in the hearts and minds of all who know him, was also there. (No, he’s not pictured below, but you can read his impressions of the evening here.)

I watched the movie Herbie, with Dean Jones and Michelle Lee with my grandchildren this weekend and wondered if Michelle Lee is still alive and what she is doing today. I don’t remember seeing her in anything lately and wondered if she is still doing t.v. or movies. Thank-you
Michele Lee is 68.
