Dolores Mae Greene (November 15, 1916 – April 24, 1985), better known as Dee Green, was an American actress who primarily worked with The Three Stooges. As such, she is perhaps best known as the foremost of Shemp's plethora of potential brides, the plain, tall and fawning Miss Fanny Dinkelmeyer, in the comedy short Brideless Groom (wherein Emil Sitka appears as the Justice of the Peace who repeatedly attempts to marry them with the preamble "Hold hands, you lovebirds!"). More often than not, she was shown as a homely and unattractive bride-to-be (e.g. "Baggie" in I'm a Monkey's Uncle and King Rootintootin's daughter in Mummy's Dummies).

Miss Greene also did theater acting in New York City. Miss Greene's acting career was tragically ended due to a vehicle/pedestrian accident in which a motor vehicle ran over her feet in New York resulting in the need for orthopedic footwear for the remainder of her life. Miss Greene went on to earn a teaching degree and spent the remainder of her years teaching in the areas of music, Drama and Language Arts.

"Miss Greene", as she was known to her music students, taught music and chorus classes at Peoria Heights Grade School in Peoria Heights, Illinois in the 1960s. Through the late 1970s and early 1980s, Greene taught Language Arts and Drama at Rockford Alternative Middle School aka RAMS, a pilot alternative middle school for academically gifted students with a focus on more relaxed and independent study in Rockford, Illinois on the city's west side. This school is no longer in existence.

Miss Greene poured all of her performing arts talents into her students. She was responsible for more than one student pursuing a career in theater, some of whom eventually performed on Broadway in New York while also encouraging and inspiring other students to develop and pursue their musical talents.

At a time when music and art were a part of every student's core curriculum, Greene had a measurable impact on students appreciation for the arts and music and drama. She produced annual events including Babes in Toyland and Christmas pageants that included every student in the school.

Delores Greene died on April 24, 1985 from post surgical complications resulting from colon cancer leaving her students with the legacy of building blocks which paved the way for greatness for many of them.

The Stooges hope to collect a reward by proving to museum curator B. Bopper (Emil Sitka) that cavemen indeed still exist. They embark on an expedition with 16mm camera in hand, ready to film whatever they find. Eventually, the Stooges return to Bopper with a film showing three cavemen living in the prehistoric age. The film illustrates the three tending to their daily chores, consisting of mixing milk, hunting fish, and gathering eggs. The film also shows the three cavemen defending their women from other fellow cavemen. Bopper is ecstatic, and is preparing to cut the Stooges a check. However, Bopper overhears the sneaky Stooges talking about how the film was a hoax, as they played the cavemen themselves. The curator is furious, and promptly shoots the three frauds in their derrieres, before shooting himself in the foot.

Shemp plays a voice instructor and the object of affection to tone-deaf vocal student Miss Dinkelmeyer (Dee Green), with Larry his musical accompanist. After an excruciating session, Moe enters his classroom to tell Shemp that his uncle had died and left him an inheritance of $500,000. However, Shemp cannot collect the money unless he is married (which horrifies Shemp) within 48 hours after the reading of the will (leaving him only a few hours). Shemp uses his filled-up black address book to propose to any and all women he has ever known, with unsuccessful results. With time running out, Moe and Larry lead Shemp through a series of disastrous situations including the destruction of a phone booth and Shemp being beaten silly by a woman named Miss Hopkins (Christine McIntyre), who had just moved into the building.
