When i was very young, i went to see White Christmas with my grandmother in lexington, Ky. Rosemary came on stage at the end of the movie.

Sultry, sexy and wholesome - all at the same time. Rosemary Clooney was, and is, one of the greatest interpreters of a song. The best thing about seeing Ms. Clooney, live, was that she stood on the stage and sang. No wild movements, no flashy numbers - she just sang and let her voice wrap around the lyrics and melody of the song. I am fortunate to own many of her records and CDs.

Well said, cadicorniche. I was fortunate to sing in a small backup jazz chorus with Rosemary in a concert in 1991. I gave her a dozen lavender roses after the concert and she was gracious and very down to earth.

Actually, Vera-Ellen was anorexic before anyone knew what that was, exactly. If you look very closely at all of her costumes, she had the neckline heightened in each one so that her chicken neck (from years of being too thin) was covered up so no one would suspect she was anorexic. This is all documented in the archives at Paramount studios.

@@moirbasso7051 there's a biography by David Soren that describes in detail her eating problems and you only have to look at her to see it was true. She tried lots of strange fad diets and considering how much dance and exercise she did, it's clear she was under nourished. It's more than her just being naturally tiny. Also noted in On the Town, all her dresses had high necklines because of her neck and chest. She was fragile, and hardly made any films after White Christmas despite her youth, talent and popularity and became very reclusive. So sad, she was so bright and energetic on screen.
