Dorothy Dupre Kelly[1] (February 12, 1894 - May 31, 1966) was an American motion picture actress of the early silent film era.

After attending the National Academy of Design and earning a position in a publishing firm, Kelly decided to give up her career as an illustrator.

[5] Seeking more lucrative work, she decided to become a performer and, despite having no previous acting experience, applied for a position in the stock company at Vitagraph,[6] signing a contract in the early teens.

Her first film was a bit part in a 30-minute version of A Tale of Two Cities in 1911, which also featured future silent stars Norma Talmadge and Mabel Normand.

Like many stars of early film, Kelly's career dwindled with the popularity of two-reelers.
