Well, I just did the same thing as someone else in a previous post. Got my whole comment done here, forgot to log in and lost the post.
I’ll re-do it later.
Hello..in 1948/49 I worked at the Follies Theater for 3 months as a chorus girl. My sister-in-law (at the time) owned the theater (Louise Miller) and 3 of my other S-I-L’s worked there too. Lili St Cyr was there when I was there. Alot of old performers used to be backstage alot… eg: Joe Yule (Mickey Rooney’s Dad),etc. The performers used a back door to go to a lttle bar/grill next door, called “The Village” to eat between shows.
Divorce resulted in the sale of the Follies Theater
and all of the performers went up the street to work
at the Burbank Theater. After a year, I went to Las
Vegas, but was underage for the Desert Inn, so I returned to CA and moved to Santa Barbara, where I met
my current husband (of 56 years). I had a lot of
photos, but they were lost over the past years.
