He died on 4 September 2001 in Greenwich, Connecticut, USA.- Jeanne McCully was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on May 1, 1918. She started dance training at Mamy Barth's School of Dance at the age of three. As a professional dance teacher, Mamy Barth organized many dance shows and recitals, featuring ballet, tap, acrobatic dance, fashion, and other related events in Pittsburgh and its surrounding areas. Also, Mamy Barth trained many other young dancers besides Jeanne, including the dancer and model, Dorothy Parker, to become professionals.
Mamy Barth's School of Dance was a completely professional school, with Professional Guest Instructors from New York, such as dancer Jack Barry, and other professional dancers, who taught Jeanne and the other dance students all their professional techniques. Jeanne remembers very well how she learned many professional dance steps from these fully professional dancers, who taught her, and the other students, all aspects of being professional dancers.
Jeanne advanced rapidly through initial dance training to professional levels of ballet, acrobatic dance, tap, interpretive dance, and all forms of ballroom dancing.
Even before the age of 13, Jeanne danced professionally, for pay, at Lion's club, and other similar organizations' events, including the prestigious "New Penn" club, in the Pittsburgh area.
In 1933, at age 15, Jeanne, her parents, and brother, Gary, moved to the New York City area, where she obtained professional agent representation, and began performing in top clubs and theaters in and around Manhattan.
At that time, some of Jeanne's earliest paid bookings were movie theaters that would present live shows after movies. These live shows would frequently first include a Beauty Contest, which would be decided by the amount of audience applause. Because Jeanne was the most beautiful girl there, she usually always won.
After the Beauty Contest, there would be a stage show, in which Jeanne danced near, or at, the end, in order for the show to have a "Big Finish." Because Jeanne's tap, acrobatic, and interpretive dancing was always very popular, she always got a tremendous round of applause from the sophisticated New York audiences, which pleased the theater owners, and resulted in Jeanne receiving many of these early bookings.
After obtaining a job as a "line girl" in the well-known Hollywood Restaurant in midtown Manhattan, Jeanne also performed there as a featured dancer, doing her specialty routine that combined tap, acrobatic, ballet, and interpretive dance.
At this time, even though Jeanne was already a professional, more training constantly occurred, from standard "ballet bar" training, which stretches muscles and builds dancers' strength, to "the Swivel Belt." The "Swivel Belt" trains dancers to do forward and reverse "backflips," in which the dancer touches the floor with his or her hands. Jeanne successfully completed this training by mastering the more advanced, complete flip overs known as "Round-offs," in which she did not touch the floor as she whirled completely around in the air, and ended up landing on her feet.
After many different "One-Night" engagements, Jeanne got a steady dancing job at Billy Rose's prestigious Café De Paree / Café De Paris, located at 254 West 54Th Street in New York City. Formerly the site of the Gallo Opera House, New York club owner Billy Rose had the theater seating removed, and installed tables and chairs. The now beautifully decorated nightclub had full dining and bar service in elegant surroundings, with a stage show featuring headliners, more dancers, and a full band, with a singer, and Master of Ceremonies. In the 1970's, that long-established entertainment location again became famous as "Studio 54," and it is still operating under that name today.
After many more fascinating in-person bookings in the Manhattan area, Jeanne married Actor, Singer, night club Master of Ceremonies, and later, Radio and Television Writer, and Producer, Douglas MacCrae. Doug and Jeanne then began their family, even while Jeanne continued her dancing career in clubs and other venues all across the country.
Jeanne is now Award Pictures' President of Animation and Family Features, and has created, written, and designed characters for Award Pictures' principal flagship animated properties. - Charlie Scales was born on 11 January 1938 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
