Front Row Classics is pleased to welcome Juliet Prowse, niece to the legendary entertainer Juliet Prowse. Juliet has penned a wonderful tribute to her aunt called "Juliet Prowse: Born to Dance: The Extraordinary Life Story of My Aunt". Brandon and Juliet chat about her aunt's upbringing in South Africa and what led her to the US. The two also discuss her love of the dancer's life as well as her relationships with Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley.
Juliet Prowse never intended on becoming an author, but when she spotted a little red suitcase in her parents' attic, full of articles about her famous aunt, the dancer/entertainer Juliet Prowse, she just wanted to tell this story. As a communications professional with a BSc and MBA, Juliet was used to writing, but to ensure the authenticity of her aunt's biography, Juliet researched extensively, reading 1000 letters/articles and interviewing many who worked with Juliet.
Known as big Juliet and little Juliet in the Prowse household, little Juliet inherited her aunt's athleticism and became a South African runner. She lives in Cape Town where she is an avid theatregoer and sports lover.
