Katie
Can someone point me to any sources on this Golden Era dancer?
I'd like to learn about her.

Re: Katie
Somebody needs to remember the 2:00 mark of the first clip the next time the "shoulder shimmy vs. boob shake" debate comes up! That's definitely evidence for the "boob shake" side.
Apparently her real name was Katrina Fotsaki, and she was of Greek descent and from Alexandria. Searching on her in Arabic shows that sometimes she is also tagged as "Kitty" in English. She made a number of movies from 1949-1965, but her career was cut short when she became accused of being involved in some sort of Zionist spying plot. Not a lot of info on her, at least not that I can find.

What is the deal with that last costume? The black bar and the crotch shadow? Eek!

Re: Katie
I've always adored her (my old car was named Katie in her honor). Thank you for finding these clips. Most of them I had somewhere, but there are a couple I hadn't found before, and I've been working on a playlist for some of the gals in my troupe. Excellent!!!!

Re: Katie
Love Katie, too. She may be my favorite Golden Era dancer. Unfortunately, my favorite clips of her have been removed from youtube.

Re: Katie
Thanks, guys. I'd appreciate any other bits of information anyone might have on this dancer. I really like her dancing and wish there was more accessible information out there about her.

Re: Katie
wow, i love her! she may be my favorite 'golden era' dancer yet!
i showed hubby a clip of her dancing and asked him if he knew her... he said, "yeah, that's katy. i have some old videos with her dancing in them somewhere...."
honestly, the man has a treasure trove of golden era material that he has not touched in over 10-15 years, i bet. our storage room is so packed that i wouldn't even know where to begin to look for all the videos (even if i could read all the arabic labels he made!)..... if you can dream it, you can do it .....
