Flo Ziegfeld saw her at a fashion show and hired her to appear in the 1917 Ziegfeld Follies. Although she couldn't sing or dance she became one of the most popular models in the show.

Dolores was called "the loveliest showgirl in the world". She was given a small speaking role in the Broadway show Sally. At the peak of her career she was earning $500 a week. On May 15, 1923 she married William Tudor Wilkinson, a millionaire art collector. Then she retired from the stage and moved to Paris, France with her husband.
