She is an actress, who is probably still best recognized for starring in the role of Ruth, one of the brides in “Seven Brides For Seven Brothers” (1954), playing Diana in “Witness For The Prosecution” (1957), and as Laura Fawkes in “Funny Bones” (1995).

So, have you ever wondered just how rich Ruta Lee is, as of early 2017? According to authoritative sources, it has been estimated that the total size of Ruta’s net worth is over $4 million, accumulated largely through her successful career as a professional actress.

Ruta Lee spent her childhood in her hometown, the only child of Joseph, who worked as a tailor, and Mary Kilmonis who was a dressmaker. She went to St. Williboards elementary school, and parallel with education she took dancing classes. In 1948, she moved with her family to Los Angeles, California, where she enrolled at Immaculate Heart High School before switching to Hollywood High School, matriculating in 1954. It was during this period that she began to seriously study dramatics. Afterwards, she was a student at both Los Angeles City College and the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA).

While still attending college, Ruta got a break when she appeared as a guest on two episodes of CBS’s “The George Burns And Gracie Allen Show”. Shortly after that, she landed a role in an episode of TV series “Roy Rogers”, followed by a spot in the series “Adventures Of Superman” in 1953. In the same year, she was signed by MGM to star in the role of the youngest bride in the highly popular and Academy Award-nominated musical “Seven Brides For Seven Brothers”. Since then, her career only went upwards, as well as her net worth. In the following year, she starred in other film and TV titles as “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” (1955-1956), “Funny Face” (1957) alongside Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn, and “The Lineup” (1957-1959).

Ruta’s next big role came in 1980, when she was the voice of Hidea Frankenstone in the TV show “The Flintstone Comedy Show”, after which she starred in “Fantasy Island” (1980-1983), “1st & Ten: The Championship” (1984-1985), and “Coming Of Age” (1988-1989). The next decade didn’t change too much for Ruta, as she continued to play in such film and TV titles as “People Like Us” (1990) and “The Building” (1993), among others, all of which added a considerable amount to her net worth.
