Ann Reinking

about

Ann Reinking (born 10 November 1949) is an American actress, dancer, and choreographer. Her creative and personal association with choreographer Bob Fosse is well-known. Reinking was born in Seattle, Washington where she originally trained as a ballet dancer. She studied with Marian and Illaria Ladre, a professional ballet couple who had danced for years with the Ballets Russes which later became the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. After working as a chorus girl in Coco, Wild and Wonderful, and Pippin, Reinking came to critical notice in the role of Maggie in Over Here! (Theatre World Award). Reinking went on to originate roles in Goodtime Charley (which won Tony Award and Drama Desk nominations) and Bob Fosse's Dancin' (Tony nomination). She also took over leads in Chicago, A Chorus Line, and Sweet Charity. After retiring from performance for several years, Reinking returned to the stage as Roxie Hart in the revival of Chicago and as a special guest in Fosse. In 1979 Reinking appeared in Bob Fosse's semi-autobiographical film All That Jazz, in a role loosely based on her own life and relationship with Fosse. In the film, Reinking starred opposite Leland Palmer (playing a role inspired by Fosse's wife, Gwen Verdon), Jessica Lange, Ben Vereen, John Lithgow, and Roy Scheider as Joe Gideon (Bob Fosse). Reinking's long-term relationship with Fosse included their living together for many years before his death. She later starred in films such as Annie and Micki and Maude. Reinkin
