Dee Dee Skyes is a character in Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels. She was voiced by Vernee Watson-Johnson in her classic apperances, Kiersey Clemons in the 2020 CGI Animated film Scoob!, and Nicolle Thurman in Jellystone!.[1]
About Dee Dee[]
She is an associate of Captain Caveman, one of the Teen Angels who found him frozen in a block of ice and thawed him out. Like Valerie Brown in Josie and the Pussy Cats, Dee Dee is the smartest and most serious member of the trio, and Brenda Chance's best friend.
She is a young, attractive African-American woman with a small black afro. She wears a bright red-orange turtle-neck, blue skirt and red boots. In Scoob!, she wears a red, white, silver, and blue latex jumpsuit and her hair is tied in a bun. In Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels, she and Taffy Dare took turns driving the Angels' vehicle, implying that Dee Dee may have been 16 or 17 years old and was old enough to drive in the series.
She is the brainy one, which means she is most likely to solve the mysteries, making her the Velma Dinkley of the group, sans glasses. She also is very observant.
In Scoob!, she is Blue Falcon's assistant in the mission to protect Scooby-Doo and Shaggy Rogers from Dick Dastardly, who wants Scooby for his own nefarious scheme. She is the only one of the Teen Angels to appear in the film.
In Jellystone!, she holds multiple jobs and her hairstyle is more akin to her Scoob! design.
Trivia[]
- It is rumored that her given name at birth was Dorothy, as Dee Dee is commonly a nickname for Dorothy or Deirdre. Considering she was old enough to drive in the series - which launched in 1977, makes her between 16 to 18 years old in the series, implying that she was born between 1959 and 1961. Plus, there were girls born between 1959 and 1961 named Dorothy - popularity of that name fell out of favor at some point in the early 1960s.
- It is also believed that Dee Dee's likeness and first name was inspired by African-American actress Dorothy Dandridge.
