vera-ellen

Vera-Ellen Westmeyer Rohe (February 16, 1921 - 30 August, 1981) was an American actress and dancer known best by just her hyphenated first name. Vera-Ellen was born in Norwood, Ohio and began dancing when she was ten. Within a few years, she had traveled to New York, where she became one of the youngest Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall. This led to a career on broadway, where she was spotted by Samuel Goldwyn, who cast her opposite Danny Kaye and Virginia Mayo in the film "Wonder Man." Never a major star, she appeared in several films including White Christmas, On the Town, and Call Me Madam. Vera-Ellen was also one of the stars in the last Marx Brothers movie, Love Happy. Although she suffered from anorexia earlier in her life, she died of cancer.
