Emmy-winning Oscar show writer & Hollywood raconteur Bruce Vilanch joined Jazzed author & dance critic Arts Meme founder Debra Levine for a lively conversation about Marilyn Monroe and Rita Hayworth's fave choreographer, Jack Cole, @BookSoup Friday night. Jazzed is a great read.

The FBI should've told Kavanaugh he need to leave his home for his safety, just like they told Lady Ruby to do when trump supporters showed up at her house.

Yuriko, the great @marthagraham dancer, has died at 102. A force of nature, her dance spirit was bursting even in the internment camp #GilaRiver where she taught dance to children: dancemagazine.com/yuriko-kik… @DanceStudies
