==People==
* Rolly Bester (1917-1984), radio personality (noted as first voice of Lois Lane) and wife of science fiction author [[Alfred Bester]]
Rolly does not appear in the book but a character similar to him has appeared: Roly-Poly. In the book, Roly-Poly was also one of the original 15 puppies born of Pongo and Missis. He was a mischievious puppy who often got into trouble. It was he who inspired Pongo to tell the others to roll in the soot to disguise themselves from the Badduns and [[Cruella de Vil]] after falling in the soot and playing around in it.

==The Movies==
==Fictional characters==
* Rolly Forbes, on the TV series ''[[Amen (TV series)|Amen]]''
The character Roly-Poly was adapted from the book and into Walt Disney's 1961 classic animated movie [[One Hundred and One Dalmatians]]. His name was changed to Rolly and he was given an extra trait: an enormous appetite. He has a red collar(as do all the male puppies in the movie) and spotted ears and can be recognized easily because he is rather plump. His mischieviousness was also toned down. He was also one of Pongo & Perdita's 15 puppies who were kidnapped by Cruella de Vil. Rolly also made an appearance in [[101 Dalmatians 2: Patch's London Adventure]], the direct-to-video sequel to the 1961 movie, as a minor character.
