My Take
Juliet Prowse fascinates me because her life reads like a globe-spanning script: born in Bombay under British India, raised in South Africa, and ultimately a star across Hollywood stage, screen, and television. A four-decade career as a dancer and actress is no small feat, and the posthumous line about her having the best legs since Betty Grable hints at a stage presence few could match. But I suspect the legs got more press than the discipline behind them. She passed in 1996, just shy of sixty, and I find myself admiring the craft and reinvention more than the glamour. A genuine performer's performer.
