"Five, six, seven, eight!" Defines the life of actress, dancer,
choreographer, and director Miriam Nelson. Miriam's life reads like
a 1930's musical. While still in her twenties, she appeared in six
Broadway shows. On the day she moved to Los Angeles, Miriam ran
into old friend Billy Daniels from New York who took her to lunch
at Paramount. During lunch, Miriam ran into another New York
friend, Paramount president Buddy de Sylva, who hired her on the
spot for Lady in the Dark starring Ginger Rogers. Miriam has been
dancing with the stars ever since! Nelson has tapped and chassd
with countless stars, including Julie Andrews, Ingrid Bergman,
Doris Day, Judy Garland, Bette Davis, Bing Crosby, Gene Kelly, John
Travolta and Billy Bob Thornton. Miriam was there for the opening
day at Disneyland - Walt Disney hired her to choreograph dance
numbers around the Park, including the famous Golden Horseshoe
Revue. Miriam's career spans both the famous and infamous eras of
stage, screen, and television. Encouraged by friends and family to
recall her special "behind the scenes" moments, Miriam sorted
through memories, scrapbooks and mountains of photographs to enable
readers to share the excitement and anticipation, the joy and the
sorrow that chronicled her extraordinary life. Fortunately, for
those who love to dance and those who love to watch dance, Miriam
Nelson remains an exciting part of the professional American dance
scene. "You're a darling girl, Miriam, and I love you for all that
you did. God bless you always, your dear friend," - Busby Berkley
