Dixie Lee was born Wilma Winifred Wyatt in Harriman, Tennessee on Novemeber 4, 1909. Her father's name was Evan Wyatt and her mother was Nora Scarborough. After her family moved to Chicago when she was still a teenager she attended and graduated from Senn High Schoool.

When she was in her late teens, she started singing and performing and won a talent contest put on by the city of Chicago. While in college she chose the stage name Dixie Lee and signed a contract with Fox in 1920.

1920 was a big year for her in more ways that one. Not only did she star in several films but that was also the same year that she met her husband-to-be Bing Crosby. Just a year later and they were married. Together they raised four children – all boys.

Unfortunately, between the two of them, only one of their careers was likely to take off. Bing's fame was quickly growing so Lee decided that it was best best for her and her family to stay at home as a homemaker to raise the kids.

Bing Crosby went on to become a superstar, but his work schedule and obligations prevented him from being around his family. While he was away, Dixie Lee drank herself into a stupor while their 4 sons were shipped off to boarding schools. Eventually Dixie contracted cancer and died at the age of 44.
