“Pass That Peace Pipe” from Good News (1947) is still one of the most electrifying dance ensemble numbers ever put on film - and yet so few people today remember its striking soloist, Joan McCracken.

McCracken was a phenomenal acrobatic dancer, trained to be a ballerina by George Balanchine in the 1930s.
She became a Broadway sensation in Oklahoma! with her comic “fall” in the number, “Many a New Day.” She brought astonishing athleticism, musicality and wit to every performance.

She also helped change Broadway history: McCracken encouraged a young Bob Fosse (as her lover and later second husband) and helped open the door for his choreographing career in New York.

A brilliant talent, largely forgotten now (she has only two film credits) - gone far too soon, dying from complications of diabetes at only 43.

In dandelion season, when the Lilliputian lions spread magic at our feet, weave the magical golden flowers into your wedding bouquet for good luck, drink dandelion tea for psychic dreams and blow the seeds into the wind to make your wish come true.
