Miller No Life
(Props to Monty for the header. If only he wasn’t such a cheap bastard. )
Ann Miller, a star of the Golden Age of Musicals, died of lung cancer at 81. She literally got a big break when Cyd Charisse broke a leg before starting Easter Parade, and Miller filled in opposite Fred Astaire. Later dance partners included Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, Red Skelton and Bob Fosse. Her last appearance was in Mulholland Drive, where she was the one chick who didn’t get naked. A pretty big whack-job, she believed she was once Queen Hathshepsut of Egypt. To honor her memory, or figure out who the hell she was, check out the movie tribute on Turner Classic Movies on January 27.
