Lucille Bremer

Lucille Bremer (February 21, 1917 - April 16, 1996) was an American film actress and dancer. Bremer was born in Amsterdam, New York and began her career as a Rockette at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, aged 16. Bremer, along with fellow stars Vera-Ellen and June Allyson, appeared as a Pony Girl in the Broadway musical Panama Hattie in 1940. She made her screen debut in Meet Me in St. Louis, and followed this with Yolanda and the Thief, and a featured dance performance in Ziegfeld Follies. Her last major film was Till the Clouds Roll By. After a few minor films, she played her last starring role in Behind Locked Doors. Reportedly disappointed with her Hollywood career, she elected not to renew her contract and left the film industry.
