Biographical History for: Bob Fosse and Gwen Verdon Collection1920-1991
Biographical Sketch Born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1927, Bob Fosse is known as one of musical theater's greatest choreographers and directors. After appearing as a dancer in such films as Give A Girl A Break and Kiss Me Kate, both 1953, Fosse established himself as a choreographer in his first two Broadway shows, The Pajama Game (1954) and Damn Yankees (1955). His choreography includes such other classics as New Girl in Town (1957), Redhead (1959), How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (1960), Chicago (1975), and Dancin' (1977). Films directed and choreographed by Fosse include Sweet Charity (1966), Pippin (1972), Cabaret (1973) and All That Jazz (1979), a semi-autobiographical effort. Fosse appeared in and choreographed the film The Little Prince (1974). He also directed the films Lenny (1974) and Star 80 (1983). In 1986, he directed and choreographed Big Deal, a Broadway production which he also wrote. Fosse's work earned him many awards including a Tony for Pippin, an Oscar for Cabaret and an Emmy for Liza With A Z, all in the same year, making him the first person ever to win the "triple crown" of the performing arts. He also captured the Tony Award for Pajama Game, Damn Yankees, Redhead, Little Me, Sweet Charity, and Dancin', and won three Emmy Awards for his television special, Liza With A Z. Other awards include a Drama Desk award for Pippin and a Donaldson Award for Pajama Game. Gwen Verdon, born in Los Angeles, California, in 1925, began her career as a dancer and continued to play roles throughout her career that employed her extraordinary dancing talents. She made her Broadway debut in Alive and Kicking in 1950, and is best known for her work in the Broadway productions of Can-Can (1953), Damn Yankees (1955), New Girl in Town (1957), Redhead (1959), Sweet Charity (1966) and Chicago (1975). Film appearances have included On the Riviera (1951), Meet Me After the Show (1951), David and Bathsheba (1952), Mississippi Gambler (1953), Damn Yankees (1958), Cocoon I (1986), Cotton Club (1984), and Cocoon II (1988). Verdon has appeared in numerous television shows including M*A*S*H, Dear John, Webster, and Magnum PI, where she earned an Emmy award nomination. She was also a guest of the People's Republic of China, where she taught theater dance to the Beijing Ballet Company, and has worked as a consultant for revivals of several Fosse/Verdon shows. Verdon is the recipient of many awards for her work. Her performances in Can-Can, Damn Yankees, New Girl in Town, and Redhead all earned her Tony Awards. Fosse and Verdon were married in 1960 and had one daughter, Nicole Fosse, also a professional dancer who appeared on Broadway in Phantom of the Opera. Although separated, Fosse and Verdon remained close friends and collaborators until his death on the opening night of a revival of Sweet Charity at the National Theater in Washington, DC, in 1987.

Scope and Content Note The Bob Fosse and Gwen Verdon Collection is an extensive collection of multi-format materials documenting the professional lives of two of America's most notable artists of the twentieth century. The collection spans both careers from their early appearances and projects through Fosse's last work. The collection consists of: production, project and performance materials, including scripts and set designs; business and personal papers; Fosse's personal and professional papers and general files, correspondence, appointment books, calendars and daily notes; career miscellany of Gwen Verdon; documentation of awards given to both Fosse and Verdon; songbooks, printed music scores and choreographic notes; scrapbooks belonging to Fosse and Verdon; photographs, posters and slides; audio and visual recordings; and other miscellaneous materials. Please note: the Contents list is not an index. When searching the paper finding aid, all sections should be scanned by title. When using the electronic version of the finding aid, search by title throughout the entire document to locate all materials related to that title. The production and project files include music materials, correspondence, scripts, production materials, casting files, contracts, press reviews, newspaper clippings, programs, and other documentation. Arrangement is alphabetical by production name. Posters, handbills, artwork, printed music and music manuscripts, research materials, and selected large format photos are cross-referenced with the individual production files. Smaller format photos are arranged separately by title or topic. Though the production files are marked as either "Fosse" or "Verdon" only to identify the primary focus or credit; this does not preclude the involvement of both parties in a production or project. There are other titles listed in the career miscellany section and elsewhere that are not included in the project files. Fosse's personal papers and career miscellany include files on Fosse's family and early life, his career as a serviceman in the United States Navy, obituaries, personal tributes to Fosse, publicity information, and Fosse's own writings. The general files include miscellaneous contracts and project files, as well as general office files. General correspondence related to Bob Fosse consists of drafts and copies of letters from Fosse, dating from 1960 to 1987, which are arranged chronologically. Related materials include Fosse's appointment books and calendars, and daily notes which consist mainly of phone lists and daily calendar information. Material in the collection, aside from that which is found in the production files, pertaining specifically to Gwen Verdon is located in the Verdon: Career Miscellany series. Included are awards, documentation of public appearances and benefits pertaining to Fosse and Verdon, publicity materials, and other miscellaneous items. Scrapbooks belonging to both Fosse and Verdon which document their respective careers contain clippings, photographs and memorabilia, and are in very fragile condition. The series of photographic material consists of professional and personal images of Fosse and Verdon in the form of photographs, negatives, and slides. These items are listed within the series but are not cross-referenced in the production files to which they are related, or anywhere else within the finding aid. The audio-visual materials in the Collection include record albums, audio recording tapes, audio disc recordings, audio cassette tapes, compact discs, videocassettes and films. There are also WNET/13 film and videotape materials compiled during the production of a documentary on Bob Fosse, and related WNET research which includes press books and photos. These photos are not cross-referenced with the Photos files. All audiovisual materials are located in the Motion Picture, Broadcasting, and Recorded Sound Division (MBRS) of the Library of Congress and are subject to that Division's policies for use and reproduction. Oversized materials include posters, handbills, music sheets, photographs, art, set designs, costume sketches, and large format magazines and newspaper clippings. Materials pertaining to a specific show, or those which directly relate to either Fosse or Verdon are cross-referenced in the production files or the personal files. The Miscellaneous materials consist of a variety of scripts, playbills and programs; miscellaneous magazines, and a various books not related to Fosse or Verdon productions. These are not cross-referenced within the individual production files. Binders, covers, frames and other supports have been removed from most items because of their condition. Any identification they contained has been noted. Certain items of historical significance, such as Fosse's Cabaret script have been kept intact. Most covers have been stored separately at the end of the box numbered series (example: Box 1D, All That Jazz script covers). Please note: wherever possible, the original order of the materials has been maintained. Mary E. Edsall, Dance ArchivistMarch 1996
