Simmons a Musical Scarlett?
Charles "Chuck" Walters, MGM director of Esther Williams' "Dangerous When Wet" and Leslie Caron's "Lili," confided to friends at El Mo Danton Walker rocco, that Jean Simmons would one day make Hollywood sit up and take notice of her dancing talents. Walters, himself a fine dancer and choreographer, should know what he's talking about. He claimed the "Young Bess" star was a trained dancer before she began her movie career. In-between film assignments she has been dropping in to the rehearsal hall at
MGM's Culver City studios and practising ballet and tap, and it is Walters who would like to direct her in a Technicolor musical comedy. Until he reads it here, Director Walters won't know that the contemplated Broadway musical version of "Gone With The Wind," which is expected to be a major stage event early in 1955, will begin its search for a singing-anddancing Scarlett O'Hara along about November of this year. Jean Simmons could be a likely prospect for the stage show in the role played so admirably by Vivien Leigh on the screen.
Dorothy Lamour journeyed downtown to Number One Fifth Avenue to hear a youthful singing-com
edienne named Pat Carroll who hopes for a future Hollywood acting-singing career. Dottie passed along a few very welcome professional hints and if Pat can make the grade and become a star, she'll be travelling along the same route that served Dottie so well in the past. It was this very same night club that brought the face and voice of Dorothy Lamour to the attention of nightlifers and talent scouts in New York a few years before her film fame. History has a way of repeating itself. Both Dottie and Pat hope it's true in the case of the caroling Carroll cut-up.
