Description: Signed Autographed PhotoSigned for noted collector Chaw MankJoan Shawlee (1926 – 1987), formerly Joan Fulton (and also credited sometimes under that name, e.g. in the film noir Woman on the Run (1950), was a film and television actress. She is known for having been a regular on the Abbott and Costello TV series, as Madame Pompey in the 1957 Maverick episode "Stampede" with James Garner, her recurring role as "Pickles" on The Dick Van Dyke Show, and her career-defining turn in Billy Wilder's Some Like It Hot (1959) as Sweet Sue, the abrasive martinet in charge of Marilyn Monroe's all-girl jazz band. Shawlee studied ballet under Ernest Belcher. At the age of fourteen, she began to work as a model for the John Robert Powers agency in New York, and worked later as a showgirl on Broadway. Billed as Joyce Ring, she appeared in the Rodgers and Hart musical productions By Jupiter (1942) and A Connecticut Yankee (1943). A relatively tall woman (5'9"), she was known for small parts in Jack Lemmon and Billy Wilder films. She is probably best remembered for her role as bandleader Sweet Sue in Some Like It Hot (1959) starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, and Lemmon. She appeared as Sylvia in The Apartment (1960), and as Amazon Annie in Irma la Douce, both of which starred Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine. She also appeared in Wilder's final film, Buddy Buddy (1981). TelevisionShawlee was also a regular on The Abbott and Costello Show series, and had a recurring role on The Dick Van Dyke Show as Fiona "Pickles" Sorrell, wife of writer Maurice "Buddy" Sorrell (Morey Amsterdam). She played the lead in The Adventures of Aggie (1956–57), which ran for only one season. She was Lorna Peterson on Betty Hutton's short-lived sitcom Goldie; Margo on the 1976–77 crime drama The Feather and Father Gang; and Tessie on Joe's World. She played a dead criminal's wife in Stories of the Century with Jim Davis and a 1957 episode of Maverick titled "Stampede", starring James Garner and Efrem Zimbalist Jr., in which she portrayed the exuberant Madame Pompey. Her final acting appearance was in an episode of Crazy Like a Fox in 1985. Comedy team In the early 1960s, Shawlee and actress Mitzi McCall teamed up as a night club act. They opened at the Club Robaire in Cleveland. In January 1961, syndicated newspaper columnist Dorothy Kilgallen reported that the team was "causing quite a stir", while drawing attention to -- and exaggerating -- their discrepancy in height: "Joan being six feet, three inches tall [sic] and Mitzi four feet, 10 inches short."
