Inside Bob Fosse and Gwen Verdon’s Unconventional Marriage. If you exclude the bedroom part, they were loyal to each other their entire lives. Verdon had just won her first Tony-for Cole Porter’s Can-Can -and was a new Broadway sensation. Like Fosse, Verdon had been dancing since childhood-and was exacting about technique.
Born Gwyneth Evelyn Verdon on January 13, 1925, in Culver City, CA, she began tap dancing in theater as a small child. Cole Porter hired her for the 1950 Broadway musical Alive and Kicking. In 1953, she appeared in Porter's Can Can. The role brought Verdon a Tony Award. Teaming with Bob Fosse, she starred in the hit musical Damn Yankees, which opened in spring 1955 and earned her a second Tony. Another Fosse play, Redhead helped score Verdon a third Tony. The Girl I Left Home For. FEATURED. Original Broadway Cast. Hal Hastings, Gwen Verdon.
Gwen Verdon poses for a promo portrait for Damn Yankees, circa 1958. Verdon's performances were daring, sweet, and bubbling with witty exuberance. As Fosse’s muse-and, for some time, his wife-she exuded an unstoppable energy that she articulated through his electric choreography in shows including Chicago and Sweet Charity. Their work and life together are the subject of FX's new television series, Fosse/Verdon. Gwen Verdon photographed in 1975 starring in Fosse’s Broadway musical Chicago. She originated the role of murderess Roxie Hart. With a mother who modeled and a grandmother who had been a Ziegfeld Girl (married to the actor Bert Lahr), I felt inferior in the shadow of their blonde beauty. Around Gwen, I wasn’t an outsider-I was a redhead! I wanted to always feel the elation that I did when she proclaimed, She’s a redhead, like me.
A Gwen-centric episode puts the petty humiliations she suffers, both with Bob and on her own, into the larger context of her life and career. A recap of FX’s Fosse Verdon, season one, episode three, ‘Me and My Baby. Secondly, maybe it’s because I’m more familiar with Fosse lore, but I’ve been more impressed by the Gwen Verdon material in these early episodes. I’ve read Sam Wasson’s Fosse biography, and a lot of scattered Verdon pieces, but I’m discovering new things about her each week - especially in this latest episode, Me and My Baby. All of that said, I have to admit that this week’s Fosse/Verdon - more focused on Verdon than Fosse - is the first one where the show’s free-associative, chronology-jumping structure doesn’t work as well. It’s still a fine 40 minutes of TV, with multiple highlights.
