More MGM Costumes Designed by Bill Campbell

Top Hat
 
I found these old photos from my dancing days at the MGM Grand Hotel, in Reno, Nevada.  The costumes really were spectacular.  The wardrobe ladies took impeccable care of them.  What happy times those were.

Dancing in the Dark



This was my first big show.  I was nineteen years old.  It was called "Hello Hollywood, Hello!"  Donn Arden was the director and choreographer.  It was quite a spectacular.  We danced on the largest stage in the world.  Carol Channing was the star.  We had other headliners come into the show.  Suzanne Somers, Charo, and the Mc Guire Sisters all brought their acts.  It was so exciting to work with them.  I was thrilled.

Bill Campbell designed these costumes.  I just love the detail.  I am still friends with the dancers that I met at this theater.  We get together for reunions.  They are part of my show business family.

      Thank you, Nil. I like that one better, too. I was more relaxed. The first one I was very nervous before going on for the first time in that number.
