Career
Doris started her acting career when she was working as a receptionist in a nightclub and she answered a newspaper ad that asked "Are you smart, sexy and seductive?" The ad was placed by Suarez' BAS Film Productions, which was looking for a heroine who could ride a motorcycle. She auditioned in a miniskirt and boots and won the role.
Her screen name, Marrie Lee, was created to capitalize on the fame of the late Bruce Lee. "Some fans thought that I was his younger sister," she told The Business Times in a 2005 interview.
She performed her own stunts, including jumping through a real glass window and dangling from a helicopter, and sustained many injuries, including a fractured left wrist.
She retired from acting in 1985 and runs her own health-care company.
