Part of the Bio-Bibliographies in the Performing Arts series
Hardback
Description
Eleanor Powell began her notable career at age 12, with an appearance at a supper show at an Atlantic City hotel.
As a teenager, she moved to vaudeville and Broadway, where producers insisted that the classically trained dancer study tap.
With minimal training, she became the queen of tap dancing in the 1930s and 1940s, with MGM casting her in some of the best-loved musicals of all time.
This book details her life and career. A concise biography overviews the principal events in the life and work of Eleanor Powell.
The chapters that follow are devoted to her work in particular media, such as film, radio, and television.
Each chapter contains entries for her productions, which provide cast and credit information, plot synopses, criticism, and excerpts from reviews.
Appendices provide additional information about her life, and an annotated bibliography summarizes the many writings by and about her.
