Norma Miller passed away yesterday, just short of her 100th birthday.
She and others show off some insane dance moves in 1941’s Hellzapoppin’ in the clip below. First couple: William Downes and Francis “Mickey” Jones; 2nd, Norma Miller and Billy Ricker; 3rd, Al Minns and Willamae Ricker; 4th, Frankie Manning and Ann Johnson.
Ann Johnson is generally forgotten now, but she may have been the most athletic dancer in history.
