His Jazz: The Life and Death of Bob Fosse
from Da Capo Press
Synopsis Winner of an Oscar for "Cabaret", a Tony for "Pippin"
and an Emmy for "Liza With a Z" - all in one year, 1972 - Bob Fosse (1927-1987)
was one of America's greatest choreographers and directors. Born in Chicago,
young Fosse began his career tap dancing as part of the Riff Brothers in
sleazy strip joints, where he encountered the erotic style that later became
his signature. Best known for his Broadway hits, "The Pajama Game", "Dawn
Yankees", "Sweet Charity" and "Chicago", he was also a successful movie
director. Three of his five films were nominated for Academy awards: "Cabaret",
"Lenny" and the autobiographical "All That Jazz". A compulsive womanizer,
he had many affairs, even during his three marriages, the last of which
was to actress Gwen Verdon, with whom he shared his most fruitful Broadway
collaborations. As his fame grew, so did his insecurities and addictions.
He survived two heart attacks and several epileptic seizures, only to die
on a street corner in Washington, D.C. in Verdon's arms. After his death
he became a Broadway legend. Based on interviews with friends, family and
colleagues, this eloquent biography provides a vivid connection between
Bob Fosse's life and his work for stage and screen.

Once
a Dancer
by Allegra Kent
This unusual, fascinating, and at times almost surreal autobiography
chronicles the life of Allegra Kent, one of the most famous--and notorious--of
Balanchine's prima ballerinas. The most blatantly erotic of Balanchine
ballets were written for her pliant and chilly dance method. This book
has it all: art, dance, infidelity, sexual intrigue, histrionics, eccentric
outbursts, nose jobs, philosophy, and Krishnamurti. Entirely entertaining
and intriguing for both dance enthusiasts and those who don't know a plié
from a jeté. Amazon.com
