Happy Feet Friday

Now, this one’s a bit of a mystery. The singer is Gai Moran, about whom I’ve been able to discover nothing but her name. The male dancer is Danny Hochter (I’ve at least been able to find some info on him; he was a professional dancer and choreographer). The band is completely unknown to me, although I suspect it is a studio orchestra. In any event, it’s a sprightly boogie-woogie “Soundie” from 1941 called "Zig Me, Baby".

Found a filmography here

No further bio information though.

I've got one last reference I can check at work.

I always feel sorry for performers like this. The deal offered was, they give us their talent and charm, and we're supposed to remember them...

I liked the clip, but what's with the hamster on her forehead?

Richard, you'd be surprised at some of the entertainers (actors, mostly) that I vividly remember from watching old movies made before I was born.

RebeccaH -- In my professional opinion as an appreciatiste of the art of dance, that is definitely a chinchilla...
