My Take
Sandahl Bergman is the kind of performer I always root for: a dancer who muscled her way into film on pure physicality. Trained for Broadway, she caught Hollywood's eye through the 'Air Erotica' sequence in Bob Fosse's All That Jazz, then proved she could act, do stunts, and command the screen. Earning a Golden Globe nod shows the industry took her seriously beyond movement. What I admire is the range packed into one career: dancer, stage actor, film and television actor, stunt performer. From Kansas City to the big screen, she built something durable by simply being able to do more than the next person in the room.
