Miriam LaVelle 1

From Meet the People. This is stunning. Miriam LaVelle didn't appear in many movies or TV programes but when she did it was a whirlwind. She was known to have appeared in two Braodway shows as well. This footage, however, shows her at her best, I think and the dubbed soundtrack is from Musique à Grande Vitesse.

Miriam passed away at the age of 31 in 1958 to a disease called Neuphritis, an inflamation of the kidneys.

@zekidz Hi. Thanks for your insight and understanding of such a cool performer. Julian Bonsor created a website for her to draw in as much interest as possible. Also for people to add info about her if they have any. I spent much a long night searching for anything. You will get an idea of what may have happend in 1950 when everything stopped.

The more people that spread the word about Miriam the better for bringing her tallent back into the public eye.

Welcome to her fan base.

Thanks again

Es sencillamente genial, la musica y los movimientos, sin necesidad de mostrarse como una prostituta ha salido fenomenal.

[xwsftassell]

Yeah, just have done. Must say: you've done a marvellous job with the Nyman gear. It's just perfect. Can't imagine it with anything else now.
