Here
is a cast photo from the 1920's musical NO NO NANETTE where
Ellen played a busty, leggy gold-digger with a tight leopard skin
jumpsuit and a blonde wig. The voice was very squeaky and the
movements were very Jayne Mansfield/Marilyn Monroe...yes one of
Ellen's first major roles was as a blonde!
The
reviewers and audience thought she was this character.
They never recognized her when she came off the stage because
she transformed herself into another character and era so well.
Ellen
is the gal in the back with the leopard print outfit. Again,
played to rave reviews!
