I adore Ann Miller. Played her rehearsals, went on the road, as pianist. She taught me lot. However, her impeccable memory was enhanced by time gone by. Makes no difference. She always gave her all. She was a true star❤❤❤❤❤
Not just one of the greatest dancers ever and a delightful star, Ann Miller was a riveting raconteur. She comes across as truthful, with terrific recall, extremely observant of all the important little details and clues with interesting snippets that make you feel as if you were there. She's candid and revealing without ever being snide or betraying confidences. Very clever lady who continues to thrill us years after she's gone.
What an absolute joy. I could listen to Miss Miller for hours. No fake false modesty. Gives credit where credit is due. Fascinating. And despite her own words she was a huge star prior to Broadway success. They just don't make 'em like that anymore. Thank you so much for posting. A rare treat.
One of the things i always liked about Ann was her willingness to talk about her working life and all the films and anecdotes from them and the other thing that happened to her .

I was at the Rose Bowl Parade in Pasadena, I think New Years Day 1954, when she was the Queen that year. She was just so beautiful and was waving to everyone. It was cloudy and raining. I loved her then but after watching this interview I respect and love her even more. What a life she had.
Some people have wonderful charisma when they speak and beautiful Ann Miller had this gift as well has being a legendary fantastic dancer. Thank you for sharing.

I love the story of how she got her start in the business. Something I didn't know until after screening "Stage Door" and learning more about it. It is amazing to me that, in my opinion, in retrospect and in working with the likes of very established actresses like Katharine Hepburn, Ginger Rogers, Lucille Ball, and Eve Arden among others, she stole the limelight and stole the show. That winning smile, her amazingly athletic dance style and her enormous energy just radiated through the screen and left me in awe of her. She was such a beautiful woman and so very talented. She had it all and more, and she was a heavenly angel who graced us with her presence here on Earth. We are so thankful for you Ann. Wonderful!❤️💃❤️
I met her a few times and she was down-to-earth, delightful and so appreciative of her success. She enjoyed every minute of her career and always went out looking like a star.
So happy to have found this wonderful interview after all these years! I taped it over 10 years ago when it aired on TCM and then of course VCRs went out and I lost the tape. So thrilled to be able to watch this again! Thank you Turner Classic Movies for putting this up! Ann Miller is one of the most beautiful, talented, and underrated actresses of all time!
If you notice when watching these TCM interviews that run between the movies , the interviews all have the same sort of look to them. TCM was just getting started around 1994-95 and they must have interviewed all the great stars of the golden era of Hollywood still alive at that time so we can enjoy listening to the great stories these wonderful actors could pass on to us. TCM is the best !
What a fun interview! I love Ann Miller, and now I can't wait to see some of the less well-known films of hers. She can tell such lovely stories, like David Niven--totally entertaining, mostly true!
Wow, what a memory she had! I can't remember what I had for breakfast! Lol. This was a great interview. It was a long one, but I was here for it. She has amazing energy and so vital. We miss you forever Annie!
Hard to believe she sat at Walt’s table the night he won for Snow White, since Walt didn’t go to the Academy Awards often; it makes sense she’d be with Walt’s table since her first picture was 1938, which was when Snow White was released. It was also great to see her at the opening of MGM Studios in ‘89 and her role in Follies. I consider her was one of the best dressed in Hollywood. It’s my hope TCM will maybe offer a subscription service or DVD set of these interviews, because this is history and needs to be preserved
R. I. P. ANN🇨🇱 MILLER HAPPY HEAVENLY 100th BIRTHDAY to the prettiest, sweetest, dancing-est dark-haired beauty that deep East Texas ever produced. Also R.I.P. Mary Miller age 3hrs. d.Nov.12, 1946
OMG SO THATS A REAL STAR WOW. I've always heard about them. They don't have them anymore. Thank God for these old interviews. This was years ago. If she was alive today she would cry at the sad state of Hollywood today.
I loved Ann Miller. She was always so well put together and had so many friends. I agree with her on the movie A Walk in the Clouds. One of my favorites. RIP Ann, you were pure class.
What a great lady. Could listen to her talk forever. As a young man I was so thrilled that she and Mickey Rooney brought Sugar Babies to London and I got to see these two legends on stage ❤
What an actress . Class act . Not like today . Today stars don’t have the class that the old stars had .not so today stars dress for success in an interview .
Ann Miller was fantastic dance in all those MGM musicals, Ann and Cyd Charisse dance together with Ricardo M. was amazing dance. She is true Hollywood star.
I once saw a video of her rehearsing for an elaborate dance number for a show (maybe Hollywood Palace). She worked with a very young choreographer. She gave her absolute attention and respect to him and all the other dancers! (She probably forgot more than everyone knew about dancing!) There was no star attitude--just true professionalism! Of course, the finished number was perfect!
A sadly underrated actress! She's one of my absolute favourite musical stars, and I was always sorry that she never got to work with Gene Kelly - because I think that they would have been absolute dynamite dancing together!
I thought she was the most fantastic dancer. When she came on screen she was mesmerising. Unique. Love this interview. Such a lovely person. So many interesting stories. Tku for uploading this.

Thanks too TCM I've been made aware of all these wonderful performers from the 30s and 40s. From my grandmother and mother's time. Today I see a lack of talent in Hollywood, compared to the entertainers who performed during the Golden Age of Hollywood. Where are the Gregory Peck's, Charlton Heston and Robert Mitchum's today? George Clooney doesn't come close to the handsome, masculine Clark Gable! Clooney is like a bad imatation! The women were so beautiful back then. Ava Gardener, Rita Hayworth, Hedy Lamar you just don't see that beauty anymore today.
THANK YOU! George Clooney is a joke. He certainly doesn’t have the talent as the old Hollywood stars. Can’t sing, Can’t dance and his acting ability is a joke.
Marlene Dietrich DID the SAME type stuff for JANE WYMAN, told her about "lighting" and making "them Look at you"! DIONNE WARWICK, also, said Ms Dietrich told her that she MUST WEAR COUTURE GOWNS/CLOTHES since she is a STAR! What a GIVING LEGEND MARLENE WAS!
She was such an extraordinary dancer and a great actress. What a legend and iconic.🐏 Hard to believe she has been gone for 18 years now. I still remember her interviews in the late 90's and all her Larry King appearances. RIP Ann Miller [1923-2004]💃💃💃🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬🎥🎥🎥📺📺📺📺📺📺

Ann Miller was always impeccably dressed. By that I mean clothes, hair and make up. How wonderful to listen to her speak about the people she worked for and with. A true star and an ultimate triple threat .
I met Ann Miller when she came to visit our elementary school which she had also attended. They told us she was a movie star, and though we were unfamiliar with her films, we thought she was very glamorous! Later I saw her work & found she was very talented, especially her dancing.

I love her interview with Robert Osborne. She has great stories. She was well loved by many of her fellow actors.She's very engaging.💛💛💛
such an amazing woman i think i’ve seen all movies such amazingly professionally done song and dance routines and all round no 1 . very nice interview looking lovely as always ann
ANN MILLER WAS LOVED BY EVERYONE. NEVER HEARD A BAD THING ABOUT HER. SHE WAS A PRO, START TO FINISH. GENEROUS TO A FAULT YET NEVER FOUND HER TRUE LOVE, EXCEPT FINE JEWELRY.

What a pro! Very interesting, her estimation that she didn't become a star until Sugar Babies. Many of us thought she was a star after the dance with Ginger Rogers in Stage Door. I'm sorry they never mentioned her work for David Lynch at the very end of her career -- I wonder what she thought of him! Or perhaps was this interview in "95 before she met him?
Ann was a star by public acclaim before she pitched up at MGM. For whatever reason she was never given the leading role in their musicals. She was used as box office insurance, injecting a few minutes of exciting dance into a film whose stars might be singers rather than hoofers, e.g. Howard Keel and Kathryn Grayson as she says in this interview. Ann looked hot, hotter as she headed for 30. She was good enough to sing without dubbing, and was nifty in comedic scenes. She had proved at RKO and Columbia that she could carry a film. It is incredible that she was so often billed down the cast list. Shame on MGM.
I think she so beautiful at her age, she still had that beautiful face, up until her death. Such an extraordinary women, good hearted and extremely talented..very multi talented. Classy, beautiful and exquisite... Iconic and legendary. A National Treasure. She is truly a magnificent lady and a true Goat 🐐 RIP Ann Miller❤ 1923-2004 🎥📽️🎬📺📻💃💃💃⭐
I was lucky enough to be good friends with Linda Darnell and she told me so many funny stories about and Miller they were very good friends during their movie Dazed and according to Linda they had so much fun together they did all kinds of goofy things Linda was quite a lady I'm very lucky to have been our friend I just heard about her being pregnant and being knocked down the stairs and that is a story that Linda told me years ago it's so funny to hear it from and Miller's on lips it's making me very sad right now because it was very hard when Linda died sorry for unloading
Man there was such high standards I bet a lot of talent went unnoticed. Luckily like she said another of works were filmed so now many stars are getting their day in the lights. Now about that age thing. . . They dam well knew. They all knew. They could of easily figured it out. They knew. The girls all lied and the men all wanted them young.
Ann Miller was an amazing talent. Entertaining until she was 80 years old. Could you imagine how much longer Miller would have lived if she did not smoke? She could have performed until the age of 100 and then said "I'm ready to retire, I earned it."
You're mistaken...Ann only said that Ginger Rogers nicknamed her "String Bean" in her personal life. Lucille Ball played the character "Judy Canfield" not "String Bean"... Ann played "Annie" in that film.
I never believed that story about pretending to be 18 but actually being only 13. She just knocked five years off her age as she started to age and made up that story.

Sad things happened to her, but she always bounced back bc she had 'positive mental attitude'. 'Sugar Babies' gave her the leading-lady status Hollywood had denied her. Very satisfying.
She used to cart a pier glass on set to check she was lit right from all sides. DPs used to joke that they could take time off when Marlene's close-ups were on the schedule.
I adore Ann Miller. Played her rehearsals, went on the road, as pianist.
She taught me lot.
However, her impeccable memory was enhanced by time gone by. Makes no difference. She always gave her all.
She was a true star❤❤❤❤❤
Her storytelling with its embellishments are part of her charm lol. She was utterly adorable at this stage in her career ❤
She is extremely well-spoken...no hesitations, no stumbling over words. Tells her stories very clearly and engagingly. So enjoyable to listen to.

They just don't make 'em like that anymore.
Thank you so much for posting.
A rare treat.
Me too
Among the many such star interviews, Ms. Miller's is one of the most candid and insightful on record.
Thank you
Agreed !
I just love Ann. She was just 13 when she won her 7 year contract with RKO. Everyone believed she was 18 as she told them. Imagine that!
I was thinking that too.
One of the things i always liked about Ann was her willingness to talk about her working life and all the films and anecdotes from them and the other thing that happened to her .
I could listen to her all day. What a lady and what a career!
My father grew up with Ann Miller; they went to the same school. He said she was always a great person.
She seems nice enough.

Ann Miller had the most wonderful laugh, it was delightful!
What a fascinating life she led! She must have looked very mature for her age if the studios believed she was 18.

This woman was the fastest tap dancer in her time. Such a talent and a gem.
One of the few older women to still wear black hair, and it looked so great on her. Fantastic lady!
But it did make her look older. She should have lightened it a little so there would not be the jarring contrast with her face.
Marlene Dietrich DID the SAME type stuff for JANE WYMAN, told her about "lighting" and making "them Look at you"! DIONNE WARWICK, also, said Ms Dietrich told her that she MUST WEAR COUTURE GOWNS/CLOTHES since she is a STAR! What a GIVING LEGEND MARLENE WAS!

Wonderful dancer. And she had the most beautiful legs.

@@berjaboy Ok. Thanks. I've never watched it. I guess I misunderstood . Didnt realize stringbean was a movie line.
You're mistaken...Ann only said that Ginger Rogers nicknamed her "String Bean" in her personal life. Lucille Ball played the character "Judy Canfield" not "String Bean"... Ann played "Annie" in that film.
I’m enjoying this
An amazing talent and a very beautiful woman.
I never believed that story about pretending to be 18 but actually being only 13. She just knocked five years off her age as she started to age and made up that story.
I agree with Ann
What a beautiful person, very classic lady.

Love her 🌹😘😘
God bless you and the invention of pantyhose!
He should have given her a percentage!
*I Wish that she just went in Bare Legs!!!!*
love her
Just seen her life story. Hope she found peace in death. Lovely woman. Sad life.
She seemed pretty jolly. I hope she enjoyed life.
Sad things happened to her, but she always bounced back bc she had 'positive mental attitude'. 'Sugar Babies' gave her the leading-lady status Hollywood had denied her. Very satisfying.
I just looked up Hermès Pan and he does look like Fred Astrie
16:50 Dietrich, mastress of lighting choreography.
She used to cart a pier glass on set to check she was lit right from all sides. DPs used to joke that they could take time off when Marlene's close-ups were on the schedule.
