The Early Career of George Chakiris

TVC 532.6: Academy Award winner George Chakiris talks to Ed about some of his early screen appearances as a dancer in such films as Gentleman Prefer Blondes, White Christmas, and There’s No Business Like Show Business; assisting Robert Alton with the choreography of Judy Garland’s first stage show in Las Vegas; and how George came to develop his interest in designing jewelry. George’s memoir, My West Side Story, is available in hardcover and as an eBook and includes a wonderful back cover quote from George’s co-star, dear friend, and fellow Oscar winner from West Side Story, Rita Moreno.
