No wonder Fred mad the comments about her being the best dancer. Everytime I see her dance it is amazing. I know it's not but she makes it look so easy. I had no idea she did her own rountines. That is awsome. She is really the versitle Queen of tap. I say versitle becuase she does different dancing while doing her tap dances. If you know what I mean. She is one of my favorites. I'm sure you could tell that.

Holy shit! Is there anything this woman couldn't do?

@hajune nicely said-wouldve like to know why she got replace by garland in 2 ofher pictures later on-looking at her work -she was a heck of her dancer-artist-sometimes she looked a bit mature in the routines-but the queen of the dance steps-and complex choreography -only she could do that--judy was a good dancer--a bit sloppy at times-lazy-in her footsteps-not anywhere near eleanor powell--we are seeing her movies on tcm again-after a long time --i agree with hajune and the other comments here.

Holy Moly! We used to call this trick photography!

Very interesting to read hajune's comment below. If the average person spent their entire lifetime practicing this they probably wouldn't be able to do it half as well. WHAT A TALENT was Eleanor Powell!.

I get exhausted just watching her!
Ellie was an extremely hard worker and only made one picture a year while having control of the choreolography. She was as versatile as any dancer on the silver screen with a broad array of routines.She danced 12 hours daily and was the master at creating complex dancing steps that she performed so smoothly that a novice did not realize what she pulled off. Great performers make the difficult look easy. I have a list of over 25 performers who call Eleanor Powell the very best. I agree with them.

@hajune Thanks very much :) It's time that people around the world come to realize this lost genius's contribution to dance.
