A co-production of Annette Macdonald with the Culver City based company
Timeline Films. In the late 30′s, Jack Cole changed the face of dance in musical theater. He is the genius behind the sultry presence of Marilyn Monroe, Rita Hayworth, and Betty Grable.
Vanity Fair, December 1984 wrote that Jack Cole’s contributions were so far-reaching that without him present day theatrical dancing would not be the same. He was outrageous, stunningly so. Everyone teaching jazz dance today teaches much of what Cole founded and codified.”
