At MGM, beautiful redheaded dancer LUCILLE BREMER was groomed to replace their retiring star ELEANOR POWELL. Like Powell, she had the glamour, the dancing ability, the carriage… she looked like she belonged in Technicolor. But surprisingly, despite working with visionary talents like VINCENTE MINNELLI and ARTHUR FREED and dancing with FRED ASTAIRE at the height of his artistry, her career only lasted about five years. She shone so brightly in films during the 1940s, but then, like a shooting star in the night sky, she just vanished. So just what happened to this talented actress? We’ll find out on this week's episode of From Beneath The Hollywood Sign podcast, as we honor LUCILLE BREMER as our June Star of the Month. CLICK link in comments below to listen & subscribe.
