DukeCity Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 Thanks for the heads-up! I set my DVR to record all of these. Quote
JSngry Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 I had never seen the young Ann Miller until tonight. WHOA! Quote
DukeCity Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 I had never seen the young Ann Miller until tonight. WHOA! Yep. Boy, what a tomato! And a nice pair a' gams. She was just the cat's pajamas! Quote
JSngry Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 Her figure was much more "today" in terms of height/slenderness ratio than most women you see in movies of that era. I, uh....appreciate that. I also caught the end of that Las Vegas movie that played just before Beverly. Who was the female singer featured in that last Dorsey number towards the end? She stayed seated in the back of the band & was featured through close-up. Looked very familiar... Quote
