While he did a great job with Caberet, I don’t think Fosse was ever the “Biggest director in the world”.

I remember a later role for Gwen was the owner of the beauty parlour that Kim Basinger worked at in “Nadine”, lol.

Gwen was great in Damn Yankees, and she was super in Cocoon.

Loved her.

A friend of mine is writing Verdon’s biography. Huge!

The strange thing is that when you see them perform together in a movie, Fosse is brilliant to Verdon’s excellent. Spry little guy.

She had an affair with Danny Kaye and she is in at least one of his movies as a dancer. Great talent.

I remember the 1979 “All That Jazz” movie with Roy Schieder playing Fosse, if that was anywhere close to accurate that dude led a hard life.

Anyone ever see an incongruous “jazz hands” joke made?

Thank Bob Fosse.

Verdon was at her best playing the seductive Lola to an unwilling Tab Hunter in "Damn Yankees.

“Biggest director in the world”. Perhaps this should be given to Orson Welles.

Micheal Jackson owes a huge debt to Bob Fosse and his 1974 performance in “The little prince”:
