	Bob Fosse - Choreographer \| TheatreDance.com
		The short version of the Bob Fosse bio is that he was born into a star-struck family in Chicago in 1927.
		Fosse is a choreographer who pushed the dancer's body beyond self-evident limits in a pursuit of eroticism that somehow managed to be elegant even when teasingly perverse, innocent when sophisticatedly dynamic, and joyous even when streaked with cynicism.
		Fosse, however, outstripped Cole, becoming a greater teacher and choreographer than he himself was a dancer--not because he couldn't express what glowed in his imagination, but because his own physical appearance did not admit him to the top echelon of screen or stage virtuosos such as Astaire, Kelly, O'Connor, or Gower Champion.

		By now mythology has pretty well established Bob Fosse as a famously demanding and insecure workaholic, sweet guy, and womanizer who died a physical burnout in 1987, at the age of 60.
		Fosse doesn't try to give a narrative or even a chronology of Fosse highlights, but it does riff extensively on Fosse's vaudeville background, his glittery stage successes, and his taste for sexy sleaze.
		People say Fosse developed the style as a defense or a façade to counter his self-consciousness about not being a perfectly turned-out, noble, body-beautiful dancer.

		Legendary director/dancer/choreographer Bob Fosse may have been a consummate entertainer, responsible for popular productions on the Broadway stage, but he was also an uncompromising filmmaker who wasn't afraid to explore the dark side of humanity.
		After the autobiographical intensity of All That Jazz, Fosse's final film was this honest and painfully authentic biography about Dorothy Stratten, who was Playboy's Playmate of the Year for 1979 and had just begun a promising film career when her jealous boyfriend took a shotgun to her head.
		Fosse tackles this brutal reality head on, opening the film with the aftermath of murder and telling the story in flashback, beginning in Vancouver when slick charmer Paul Snider (Eric Roberts, in a chilling performance) discovers Dorothy (Mariel Hemingway) and makes her his ticket to fame and unearned glory.

		You know you have an odd family when your six year old can identify which Bob Fosse musical a song comes from: “This one’s from All that Jazz...no, actually it’s from Pippin.” (We did skip over inappropriate parts of the musicals – which means we watched only selected scenes from All that Jazz and Pippin).
