For years I believed Eleanor Powell\'s name was Mary Lemcool. Does any one else know any more? She was my idol and I loved to see her dance.I am now 85 and have fond memories.
Eleanor Powell, was one of God`s Most Precious Gift`s, to ManKind.....Thank You God !!!
A great dancer, a great lady and an even greater humanitarian. Hollywood`s forgotten treasure. Unique in her lifetime and an inspiration to every one who ever knew her. Her spirit lives within all the hearts of her admirers.
Greatest Tap Dancer of all time !!
Ms. Powell wasn`t black and wasn`t she discovered at age 11?
Broadway Melody of 1940 was not Ellies final feature film. After BM of 1940 Ellie made Lady Be Good, Ship Ahoy, I Dood It and Dancing Sensations of 1945. But BM of 1940 was Ellies finest moment on the silver screen.
Eleanor Powell`s big film for MGM was Born To Dance, not Born To Sing. Her finest and last feature film was Broadway Melody of 1940.
Ah,don`t think Ms.Powell was "black" Even tho`she was a sensational dancer. Perhaps the best female "hoofer"of all time.
