ANN MILLER

Ann Miller was truly one of the great retro beauties, with that Betty Grable style  classic 40s era pin up look that makes you think of apple pie and patriotism.  I didn't know too much about her until I found out she died yesterday, and was amazed to see what a knockout she was.  Her skill for insanely fast tap dancing routines (she reportedly could crank out 500 taps per minute), ended up overshadowing her acting ability, and she became typecast in lower budget dancing movies as her career went on.  According to the IMDB, she refused to make films from the late 50s on, because of her aversion to sex and nudity in modern movies, which was ironic as she took a part in David Lynch's sleaze-fest, Mullholland Drive in her return to cinema.
