BOB FOSSE
Best of Film

Born in Chicago in 1927, early on Fosse toured as a dancer, later moving to Hollywood to be “the next Fred Astaire”. He appeared in films in the ‘50s, but never achieved leading-man status.

Shifting to theatre, Fosse became renowned as a choreographer, enduringly influential with his iconic jazz style.

The second part of his Hollywood career was as director, helming five films; Bob won the Best Director Oscar for 1972’s Cabaret. Bob Fosse died in 1987.
