1) These famouse Golddiggers were originally
basically a musical stock company of female dancers who appeared
in many musicals. These were not the original Gold Diggers of
Broadway fame, but rather the girls who portrayed them in the
movies. Many of these ladies danced as The Goldwyn and Ziegfeld
Girls as well as other musicals and movies in the 1920s-1940s.
They were sometimes listed as "Models, Showgirls or Chorus
Girls.

2) During the early 1970's NBC hosted the Dean
Martin Variety Show and would feature the Dean Martin Gold Diggers
(debuted in 1965 as Dean's Girls). They were not as famous as some
in the movie version Golddiggers above, but gained alot of fame
during their time. They started out in 1965 and totaled over forty
in number through time, but only ten or twelve would perform and
by 1970 there were no originals left in the line up. In 1971 they
would become syndicated and receive there own half hour Television
show which lasted till 1973.
