	Biography for Eleanor Powell (I) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Eleanor Powell started her career in 1920 on Broadway, where her machine-gun foot work gained her the title of world champion in tapping.
		It became increasingly apparent, however, that a Powell "vehicle" needed to lean on others to carry the storylines, as in Lady Be Good (1941), which gave her top billing but really belonged to Robert Young and Ann Sothern, playing songwriters, and Ship Ahoy (1942), and I Dood It (1943), both of which spotlighted Red Skelton.
		She danced in a giant pinball machine in Sensations of 1945 but otherwise this "comeback" picture was a disappointment, and Powell retired from the screen to concentrate on her marriage to actor Glenn Ford, whom she'd wed in 1943.

	Clark Gable Filmography
		Powell's career had brought him stardom some years before at Paramount, and he was then enticed over to Warner Bros., who at first did well by him, especially in costarring him with Kay Francis in JEWEL ROBBERY and ONE WAY PASSAGE (both in 1932).
		Powell and Loy were such a winning couple that they charmed the audience away from Gable, who was stuck in another tough guy role.
		The film boasts the first appearance as a couple of Powell and Loy, who were quickly hustled into the roles of Nick and Nora Charles in THE THIN MAN and became one of the most popular of all screen couples in that film and its sequels.
