Helen Gallagher (born July 19, 1926) is an American actress, dancer, and singer. ==Early years== Born in Brooklyn, she was raised in Scarsdale, New York for several years until the Wall Street crash which heralded the Great Depression, and her family moved to the Bronx. Her parents separated and she was raised with an aunt. She suffered from asthma. Gallagher was known for decades as a Broadway performer. She appeared in ''Make a Wish'', ''Hazel Flagg'', ''Portofino'', ''High Button Shoes'', ''Sweet Charity'' (for which she received a 1967 Tony Award nomination for Featured Actress in a Musical), and ''Cry for Us All''. In 1952, she won a Tony Award for her work in the revival of ''Pal Joey''. In 1971, she won her second Tony Award for her role in the revival of the musical ''No, No, Nanette'', which also starred Ruby Keeler and Patsy Kelly. Her song and dance number with Bobby Van from that show, "You Can Dance with Any Girl", is preserved on the cast album of that revival. She would later take on the role of Sue Smith in the Papermill Playhouse revival of the show, playing the role Keeler played a quarter century earlier. Her first starring role on Broadway came in 1953 as title character ''Hazel Flagg'', based on the 1937 Carole Lombard movie ''Nothing Sacred''. The role earned her a feature photo shoot for ''Life'' magazine. Gallagher appeared in the 1977 movie ''Roseland'' opposite Christopher Walken. An aficionada of Rodgers and Hammerstein, she appeared on a special tribute to Richard Rodgers on ''The Bell Telephone Hour''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Helen Gallagher」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
