Bob Fosse was a larger than life
phenomenon: dancer, choreographer and director. This hefty book sets out to be
the definitive biography of this complex and conflicted superstar. I find it
amazing that this winner of so many awards could be so insecure. Forced to be a
breadwinner at an early age, he was exposed to the underside of strip joints,
and bars while quite young. Although he seemed unable to be faithful to one
woman for any length of time, he was beloved by many and forgiven by most of
them. While a lengthy read, the book never dragged. Now, I want to revisit
Fosse in film with a dvd festival of his classic films.
