Tommy Wonder (dancer)
Tommy Wonder (March 7, 1914 in Montana – December 11, 1993 in Riverdale, Bronx, New York City) was an American dancer, actor, choreographer, and artist manager. He was a principal dancer in the 1943 Ziegfeld Follies.〔(Tommy Wonder; Actor and 'Ziegfeld Follies' Dancer ), in the ''Los Angeles Times''; published December 12, 1993; retrieved July 28, 2015〕
As a child, Wonder had an unspecified physical disability which hindered his ability to walk; to help him, his mother used clothes and a broomstick to build a puppet on which he could support himself. Wonder named the puppet "Suzanne", and with its help he was able not only to learn to walk, but to dance at a professional level; an upgraded version of "Suzanne", designed by members of the Westmore family, with human hair, and Wonder's mother's original broomstick, is in the Smithsonian Institution.〔(American Puppetry: collections, history and performance ), p. 209, edited by Phyllis T. Dircks, 2004; volume 23 of the Performing Arts Resource Series of the Theatre Library Association; via Google Books〕
==Career==
Wonder began as a child actor, performing in vaudeville; he subsequently appeared in the ''Our Gang'' films.〔(Tommy Wonder, 78, Ex-Ziegfeld Dancer ) at the New York Times, December 18, 1993〕 As an adult, Wonder performed in numerous musical comedies; he also appeared in more serious films, including the 1938 ''Gangster's Boy''. By 1946, his fame was such that his presence at social events was considered worth reporting.〔(WIPO Domain Name Decisions: D2005-0293 ) at the WIPO; "The opening of the Casino was attended by many Hollywood stars of the day, such as Jimmy Durante, Tommy Wonder, Eddie Jackson and Rose Marie."〕
In 1970, Wonder retired from performing and co-founded an artist management business with his former singing partner Don Dellair.〔(NEW YORKERS, Etc ) at the New York Times, by Enid Nemy, August 14, 1988〕
