? Lee Dixon ? |
Singer, Songwriter, Actor and Dancer. Performed
on the Vaudeville stage, Broadway and a few films. His most notable
dance scene was when he danced on a huge Typewriter with Ruby
Keeler in the movie "Ready, Willing and Able," (here's
the clip.)
He was tall for a notable dancer but was a
multi talented performer, and an excellent Tap
dancer but also became a heavy drinker as he approached middle
age. His alcoholism lead to his not being hired in any productions,
except Oklahoma, which he did his own choreography and did it
exceptionally well. |
