Vera-Ellen (her full name was Vera-Ellen Westmeier Rohe, though she sometimes billed herself as Vera Ellen) was a precise, graceful dancer with extensive ballet training, who began working as a Rockette at an early age.
She didn’t get into films until she was 34, in part because she couldn’t sing, but also in part, one guesses, because of emotional problems.

 mikarrhea: Finally indulging another crush
I especially love the dancing of Vera Ellen and finally decided to imDb her and find out what else she was in (besides On the Town, another of my absolute favorite Albanian culture flix).
Her career was cut short in part due to premature aging caused by anorexia, which just made her more interesting to me. She’s frequently described as the only female peer of Astaire and Kelly—the only woman who could match both of them, move for move.
