Inside a 1920s Chorus Girls Dressing Room

Many famous actresses started their professional careers as dancers in a chorus line including Marlene Dietrich, Paulette Goddard, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Marion Davies, Shirley MacLaine, Rita Hayworth, Louise Brooks, Joan Blondell, Betty Grable – the list goes on.

These rooms are often not big enough for us all. Sometimes they are badly lit and quite often they are a long long way from the stage, and involving a precarious negotiation of the hotel kitchen.

And the rules! We mustn’t do this and we mustn’t do that. Visitors are seldom allowed, and when they are they must not be of the opposite sex!
