Debbie Reynolds

On stage 2 productions, 5 years

Each row is a staging this name appears in the cast list of, read from the production record rather than from the person record. The person record names works instead, and a work cannot say which run somebody was in — that is how Elaine Stritch ends up filed under Show Boat 1927 when she was in the 1994 revival. No row here says what part was played, because no cast list records it.

The Unsinkable Molly Brown

These come off the person record, which names a work and not a production. So we can say this name is attached to the work and we cannot say which staging, or in what capacity. For a composer or a writer that is the whole career we hold; there is no cast list to find them in.

• Gower’s work consisted of three numbers: one with Debbie Reynolds—“Applause, Applause,” the film’s finale—and two with Marge—“It Happens Every Time,” a dreamy pas de deux , and “Challenge Dance,” a jazzy duet amid the rooftops of Manhattan.

• “Marge, Gower and I got along famously,” explains Debbie Reynolds. “And Bobby Fosse and Stanley Donen—they got along famously. So it was kind of like two camps.

What this page does not know

• What this person played. No cast list we hold records a character against a performer.
• Which of the credits above the roles on this record — actor — apply to. The roles sit on the person and never on a credit, so a director who also acted looks the same here as one who did not.
