[9] She made a couple of records on March 11, 1935, "You've Got Me Doing Things," a song she introduced in the film Love in Bloom.

Crosby's biographer, Gary Giddins, describes Dixie Lee as a shy, private person with a sensible approach to life.

[17] A later article in Picturegoer magazine suggested that she had taken an accidental overdose of sleeping tablets and that her life was in the balance for over a week.

In January 1951, Press reports indicated that Crosby had recently moved back into his Holmby Hills home with Dixie Lee.

[19] Dixie Lee died from ovarian cancer on November 1, 1952, three days shy of her 43rd birthday.

[20] She was interred in the Crosby plot at Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City, California, after a Requiem High Mass at the Church of the Good Shepherd in Beverly Hills on November 3.
