Dulcy eventually landed a role as Laura in the repertory production of "The Glass Menagerie," which made her famous. Even though Dulcy had risen to fame, she still struggled to make ends meet.

When she heard that Disney was looking for someone to co-host the "Mickey Mouse Club," Dulcy grabbed the opportunity and prepared for auditions. After passing, Dulcy was asked to fly to Florida for a screen test, and if everything went as planned, she would begin working the following day.

She consulted her father, who was excited about the opportunity, and he encouraged her to take the offer as it was a well-paying job. The idea of relocating to a different state for too long didn't sit well with Dulcy, and she eventually declined the offer.
