Sally Rand, septuagenarian fan dancer, when asked after a recent performance whether she really wears nothing beneath her ostrich plumes: "It doesn't much matter. The Rand is quicker than...
...study welding so he would at least have a marketable skill, Robin won an acting scholarship to the Juilliard School in New York, where he earned money performing mime in whiteface in front of the Metropolitan Museum. In 1976 he returned to San Francisco and met Valerie Velardi, a dancer whom he married last June. Valerie organized and catalogued his routines, and persuaded him to try his act in Los Angeles.

He is a passable dancer (though he does not dance in this show), his voice is only as strong as the mic it is hooked to, and an orphan out of Annie could match his acting. Like Minnelli, Davis projects the image of an overage child parched for affection, aggressively demanding approval, and working onstage with...
