Ruta Lee She’s one of those “there’s what’s her name” [character actors](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0498181/)- guest starred on everything in the 60s/70s/80s, still gets around some. Lee, by different spellings (Lea, Li, Le, etc.), is the most common surname in the world, though only as a sound (i.e. Robert E. Lee and Bruce Lee obviously don’t have common ancestry and it’s doubtful their surname has the same meaning). By some accounts, the Asian usage alone would make it the most common surname in the world. ---
