1976
How a forgotten film star became a Broadway hit at 61. As a young performer, she'd tap-danced her way from nowhere to fame in such beloved 1930s movie musicals as "42nd Street" and "Footlight Parade." She'd made headlines with her marriage to singer and actor Al Jolson, the most famous performer of his day, and even more headlines with their bitter divorce. But that was all in the past. But open it did, and the moment the orchestra hit the first notes of "I Want To Be Happy," the audience started clapping. They loved the corny jokes, the long-forgotten tunes. Midway through the second act, Keeler appeared at the top of the staircase. As she descended, beckoning two chorus boys to join her, someone from the audience shouted, "Look -- she's got her tap shoes on!" Then Keeler started to dance. She used her hand to flip her hair back from her forehead while tapping to "I Want To Be Happy," and the crowd gasped. It was a gesture they remembered from her movies. When the number was over, audience members were on their feet, screaming for an encore.
