The Gorges du Verdon, also called the Grand Canyon du Verdon, is a spectacular canyon that forms a border between the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and the Var.
The Verdon canyon was a real "natural" for primitive man, proven partially by the hundreds of 400,000-year-old artifacts unearthed in the Grotte de la Baume Bonne at the village of Quinson (in the Gorges du Verdon, a few km west of Lac de Ste Croix).
The source of the Verdon river is at about 2500 m altitude, between the Col de la Sestrière and the Pas du Mélèze, 3 km northwest of La Foux d'Allos and 11 km northwest of Allos [map p14].

Verdon was cast in a revival of "Show Boat", but shocked her parents and instructors when she abandoned her budding career to elope with tabloid reporter James Henaghan.
Verdon's quest for work led her to a position as the assistant to choreographer Jack Cole, a temperamental genius whose work was respected by both Broadway and the top Hollywood film studios.
Verdon's "Garden of Eden" number literally stopped the show, the audience thundering her name until the startled actress was brought out of her dressing room in her bathrobe to take a curtain call.

 A Tribute: Gwen Verdon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Broadway's brightest dancing star, Gwen Verdon, the star of such musicals as "Damn Yankees," "Sweet Charity" and "Chicago," died of a heart attack on October 17, 2000 at the age of 75.
Verdon made her Broadway debut in 1950 in a short-lived revue called "Alive and Kicking." However, it wasn't until 1953 that theatergoers first noticed her -- in "Can-Can," the Cole Porter musical in which she literally stopped the show.
Even though Verdon wasn't the leading star in the play, it was Verdon who got all the reviews for a provocative "Garden of Eden" ballet and an apache dance, both created by choreographer Michael Kidd.

 Broadway: The American Musical . Stars Over Broadway . Gwen Verdon | PBS
After assisting the notable choreographer Jack Cole on "Magdalena" (1948), Verdon made her first appearance on Broadway two years later in "Alive and Kicking." However, it was Cole Porter's "Can-Can" that made her a star in 1953.
In 1959, Verdon won outright when she starred with Richard Kiley in "Redhead." After that, Broadway audiences had to wait another seven years before they saw Verdon on the musical stage, but the wait was more than worthwhile.
She continued to be honored throughout the '90s, with the Broadway Theater Institute's award for Lifetime Achievement in the Theater, the Actors' Fund of America's Julie Harris Lifetime Achievement Award, and the National Medal of Arts, which she received from the U.S. President in November 1998.
