Thanks for starting up this topic and also for reminding us of such great talents such as Gwen and Bob. Too bad I wasn't around when they were at their very best.But, it will always be grand to see them dancing or choreographing as well as they did - because being such perfectionists as they both were - they managed to do everything great! What a feeling! -

I've just watched DAMN YANKEES again - thank goodness for film, so that Verdon's Lola is there for all to see. As "Mama Rose" sang in GYPSY, "Ya either got it, or ya ain't!"
GWEN VERDON HAD IT!

Go to Fosse.com if you haven't already, a place to discuss the man the works and the people in his world. I think due to the site crashing a couple of times people have been staying away, but it is back up.
I think it is the only forum to discuss people like Gwen, Chita, and of course Bob. -

Gwen was too much for 1950s Hollywood. They cut all her "bumps" out of "Damn Yankees." Her next movie was "Gentlemen Prefer Brunettes." She was cut comletely out of it because her dancing was too sexy. Her stage role in "Can Can" was split between Shirley MacLaine and Juliet Prowse in the movie version.

I saw Can Can awhile back and didn't know that Gwen was in the stage version of it. I think she'd have been great in the movie version too. And that's not to take away from Juliet Prowse or Shirley MacLaine, but I'm wondering why they were picked over Gwen for the movie version.

The reason for there not being any posts for Gwen when you wrote your post 10 years ago is that IMDb regularly scrubs the message boards of older posts. Since Gwen died in 2000, there would have been many "RIP type" messages dating from that time.
