Early life
Ruta Lee was born on May 30, 1935, in Montreal, Quebec, the only child of Lithuanian Roman Catholic immigrants.[2][3] Her father was a tailor and her mother a homemaker.[4]
On March 1, 1948, her family moved to the United States and ended up settling in Los Angeles, where she graduated in 1954 from Hollywood High School and began studying acting and appearing in school plays.[4][5] She attended both Los Angeles City College and the University of California at Los Angeles.[4] She worked as a cashier,[4] usherette, and candy girl at Grauman's Chinese Theater; but, when she was $40 short in her cash account at the end of her shift one night, she was fired.[6] She is a naturalized United States citizen.[1]
Career
Lee then got a break as a guest on two episodes of CBS's The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show.[4] She soon found an agent, who landed her a job in an episode of The Roy Rogers Show, followed by a spot in 1953 on the series Adventures of Superman. That same year, while acting in a small theater production of On the Town,[4] she landed a role as bride Ruth in the Academy Award-nominated musical Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, still billed as Ruta Kilmonis.[5] After that success, Lee appeared in several films including Anything Goes (1956), Funny Face (1957), Witness for the Prosecution (1957), and Marjorie Morningstar (1958). In 1962, Lee had the female lead in the Rat Pack comedy/Western film Sergeants 3 starring Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and Peter Lawford. She then co-starred with Audie Murphy and Darren McGavin in a Western, Bullet for a Badman (1964).
In addition to films, Lee has appeared in dozens of guest-starring roles on television. For a number of years, she seemed to be everywhere on the screen. From 1957 to 1959, she was cast in different roles in eight episodes of the CBS crime drama series, The Lineup and also played the leading lady in three episodes of Maverick, "The Comstock Conspiracy" with James Garner and "The Plunder of Paradise," and "Betrayal" with Jack Kelly.

In 1963, Lee guest starred as Lucy Tolliver in the twelfth episode "Enough Rope" of the NBC/WB Western series, Temple Houston, with Jeffrey Hunter as an historical figure, the frontier lawyer Temple Lea Houston, youngest son of Sam Houston. Temple Houston was canceled after twenty-six weeks. Of Hunter, Lee said, "He was one of the prettiest people that ever was put on the screen, God, he was gorgeous."[7]

In the early 1970s, Lee continued to perform in both films and television roles on Love, American Style, The Mod Squad, and a role in the film The Doomsday Machine (1972). By 1974, Lee had grown frustrated by an increasing lack of roles, and took a job co-hosting the daytime game show High Rollers.[5] She remained with the show until 1976.
During the 1980s, she lent her voice to episodes of The Flintstone Comedy Show and The Smurfs, in addition to guest roles on CHiPs, Fantasy Island, The Love Boat and Charles in Charge. Lee also performed extensively in the mid-1980s on stage, including the title character in the musical Peter Pan.[8]
From 1988 to 1989, Lee had a recurring role on the CBS sitcom, Coming of Age. In 1989, she played the role of Sally Powers in the television movie Sweet Bird of Youth with Elizabeth Taylor. In the 1990s, Lee continued to appear in episodic television, most notably on the sitcom Roseanne. Lee appeared as the girlfriend of Bev Harris (Estelle Parsons) whose character disclosed she was gay.[9]
She played the wife of comedian Jerry Lewis in the British comedy-drama Funny Bones (1995), in which they play the parents of the Oliver Platt's character. In 2002, Lee was presented one of the Golden Boot Awards for her work in western television and cinema.

"Webb" Lowe Jr.[5] They divided their time between their homes in Hollywood, Palm Springs, Fort Worth and Mexico.[13] Webb died July 1, 2020. They had no children. Lee describes her political views as "conservative"[14] and she appeared at the 1972 Republican National Convention.[15] On August 24, 2013, Lee was inducted into the National Lithuanian American Hall of Fame.[16][17]
In February 2019, Lee acquired Lithuanian citizenship.[18][19]
Off-camera
In 1964, Lee called then-Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, asking him to pardon her grandmother Ludvise Kamandulis,[5] who had been in an internment camp in Siberia since World War II.[6] The pardon was granted, and Lee's grandmother came to live with her in California in 1964.[5] Kamandulis died two years later.[20] Lee again rescued a relative from the former Soviet Union when she secured custody of her 18-year-old cousin, Maryte Kaseta, from Lithuania in 1987.[21]
Lee has been involved with the charitable organization The Thalians for over 50 years.[5] In addition to raising money and providing services for troubled youth and mental health organizations, Lee, who is also the board chairman, co-produced the annual Ball of the Thalians with the late Debbie Reynolds throughout these five decades.[22] In 2011, after 55 years of involvement with The Thalians, she stepped down and is now a member emerita.
