  • A real period piece. There are steps that dancers today no longer do or have done in 60 years!

  • Did Marilyn make up this dance herself or was did she learn it from a choreographer?

  • AWESOME!!! Lets see if Britney or Miley can do this,I don't think so.What an AMAZING STAR!

  • Marilyn Miller was given the name Marilyn as a tribute to two relatives, Mary and Lynn. It was the first known use of the name Marilyn. When Norma Jean Baker met with the promotions people to plot her course, Ben Lyon suggested the name Marilyn because he had been especially fond of Marilyn Miller.

  • @Squillionz How true! Love the name!

  • kickkkk asssss . i love her pants !

  • Great Ziegfeld dancer! I believe it was Marilyn Miller who influenced the swirling skirts as she danced and moved on stage.

  • Marilyn's charisma translates well to the screen, you just can't help but love her!

  • Thanks for this clip - super! I can see the influence of Jack Donahue partnership with her in Eleanor Powell's dancing - Jack D. taught Ellie to tap. So interesting. Certainly Marilyn's style sticks closer to the clogging tradition, but with innovation, too. Great energy!

  • It is truly amazing to me how you can see influences of other dancers in this dancer. I just see Tap

  • I mean this in a nice way. I really appreciate what you see. The below post got cut off.

    Mike

  • I can see the influence also. Love that Ellie tap.

  • Thanks for posting this, I'd never heard of her! I like how she dances nice and heavy and "into the floor" with her steps.

  • Happy 110th birthday Marilyn Miller!

  • Love that Marilyn Miller! Talent Extraordinaire. Makes U want to take up tap dancing.

  • I guess her name inspired Norma Jane to hold the fame name of Marilyn Monroe, just a theory. But the Ziegfeld girl was greater.

  • Wow - she's a doll! Thank you for sharing this video!!

  • More clips from Sunny, please. One with Joe Donahue, maybe.

  • Face lit like a jack o'lantern. Personification of youth,life, energy. The music you hear is by Jerome Kern, as is all the music in Sunny, and Miller's other great hit Sally. Great post, thanks

  • One take. Uniterrupted and uncut. That's talent, kids.

  • YOUR RIGHT!

  • Comment removed

  • O WOW! I was hoping they had this scene! I love this scene!!! Thanks so much!
