Madame
Bluebell and the Bluebell Girls |
|||
For 40 years, the most beautiful
and talented dancers and showgirls in the world have carried the name"Bluebell,"
a name affectionately given Madame Bluebell as a baby when the family
doctor looked into her bright blue eyes.
Madame Bluebell assembled and trained the first Bluebell Girls at the Folies Bergere in Paris, and more than 11 million showgoers have come to see her girls perform in the spectacular Stardust Lido productions. She began her dancing career early. At 16, she traveled throughout Europe with an English ballet troupe. And before her 20th birthday, she was featured dancer with the Folies Bergere, the line captain, and the creator of the famous Bluebell Girls. When the Lido in Paris opened after the war, her covey of French beauties were an instant success. And in 1958, when they were brought to the Stardust in Las Vegas by Donn Arden, they awed the showgoers. Although many have attempted to duplicate Madame Bluebell's success formula, no one has achieved her international fame and respect. This remains established because of
her demands that each girl have three qualities; She must have extensive
ballet training; she must be beautiful and long-legged; and se must
be 5'8 or taller. |
