Verdon, [Gwyneth Evelyn] Gwen (1926–2000), dancer and actress. The slim redhead, whose performances suggested both sexuality and vulnerability, was born in Culver City, California, where she learned dancing from her mother, Gertrude, as well as several noted dance teachers, including Jack
Cole, whom she assisted on choreographing
Magdalena (1948). Verdon helped him again and also danced in the revue
Alive and Kicking (1950), then recognition came when she danced in
Can‐Can (1953). Thereafter, she was starred in a series of musicals choreographed by Bob
Fosse, to whom she was married for a time:
Damn Yankees (1955),
New Girl in Town (1957),
Redhead (1959),
Sweet Charity (1966), and
Chicago (1975). She was the only major musical star of the post‐war theatre whose fame rested on dance, though she could interpret a song and play an engaging character with panache.
