This is a super athlete, by any definition in sports, dance, or art. Famous for her gravity defying speed, physical strength and power, she layed down some of the most intricate rhythms in tap and dance history. Considered by many of the greatest dancers, to be the greatest of them all. Taught by one of the greatest tap dancers of all time, gifted with supernatural energy, natural beauty and charisma, the greatest dancer of all time, who made it all look easy, sexy, and happy. Eleanor Powell.
Elizabeth Taylor was quoted years ago that she was still a virgin when she married Nicky Hilton. She was only 18 when she married him so it could be true.
I wish these historical narratives would identify the people in pictures, or the names of movies shown in photos. I do get tired of just taking a ton of photos, mix them all together, then throw them into narration already written.
Eleanor defied all conventions with her extraordinary talent. Her beauty too.
Not sure if she was a child protege but I bet she was! 🎉
A Talented beautiful and wonderful lady
She was simply the best.
Just so you, video producers, know, the photo at 7:21 is not of Eleanor; it's Cyd Charisse. Except that, the video is excellent. Thanks!
yeah, and the story has problems too

Eleanor Powell.
The woman you show in the first six seconds of the intro is Eleanor Parker, not Eleanor Powell!
Yes, I noticed that too. Eleanor Parker was a terrific actress (Caged 1950, Detective Story 1951) Admired both Eleanor Parker and Eleanor Powell.
Probably the only person I know in show biz that remained a virgin until marriage. Glen Ford didn't know what he was in for.

And you know that for sure?
@@seagrapegrove727That was BS from Taylor.
@@seagrapegrove727Pretty sure some teens had sex in the 1940s.
In any case Hilton was very abusive toward Taylor which ended the marriage.
@@yvonneplant9434 just because you're a skank doesn't mean everyone else is too.
The first picture is not Eleanor Powell. It's Eleanor Parker. Sheesh.
Her powerful turns were other worldly. Great dancer. I don't believe this story.
She was really a pretty good actress too.
What a stupid title for a very talented women’s life.
And not a mention of Fred, interesting...

Hearing about her repressed sexuality, it's interesting that she died of Ovarian Cancer.
