Bambi Linn BIO
Bambi Linn is an American dancer, choreographer, and actress.
Linn trained extensively with noted choreographer Agnes de Mille. At the age of 17, she made her Broadway debut in the original production of Oklahoma! (1943). With the death of actor George S. Irving, she is the last surviving cast member of Oklahoma!'s opening night.
De Mille used her again as Louise in Carousel (1945), for which she earned a Theatre World Award. Linn repeated the role in the 1957 revival at City Center. Her other Broadway credits include the title role in Alice in Wonderland (1947) and Blanche in I Can Get It for You Wholesale (1962). Linn, who was a guest soloist with American Ballet Theatre, continued making occasional stage appearances until the early 1980s.
In the 1950s, Linn was best known as half of a ballroom dance team with her first husband Rod Alexander. The two made frequent appearances on TV's Your Show of Shows, The Colgate Comedy Hour, Toast of the Town, and Max Liebman Presents, and others. Linn made only one film appearance: as the fantasy Laurey in the extended "Dream Ballet" sequence in Oklahoma! (1955). She and Alexander created a similar dream ballet for the live 1955 broadcast of The Desert Song.
Linn has four children, and raised them in Westport, Connecticut.

What Did Chita Rivera Think Was the Best Musical Number She Performed?
It’s been almost a week, but I’m still having trouble processing the loss of Chita Rivera. I expected to see her onstage again. What always struck me about Rivera, the ultimate gypsy (a term she clung to after others eschewed it in the name of political correctness), is, even in later years, she still seemed like a dancer first, a star second.
