Hvem daterte Florenz Ziegfeld?

Florenz Ziegfeld jr. (født 21. mars 1867 i Chicago i Illinois, død 22. juli 1932 i Hollywood i Los Angeles i California), allment kjent som «Flo» Ziegfeld, var en amerikansk teaterprodusent og impresario, som var banebrytende innen teaterrevyen og musikalen. Han har blant annet produsert scenemusikalen Show Boat og har blitt medlem av American Theater Hall of Fame.

Tre filmer ble produsert om hans liv: Den store Ziegfeld (1936) og Ziegfeld Follies (1945), begge med William Powell i rollen som Ziegfeld, samt Funny Girl (1968), med Walter Pidgeon i rollen.

I årene 1914-1932 var Ziegfeld gift med skuespilleren og sceneartisten Billie Burke.

Helene Anna Held (19 March 1872 – 12 August 1918) was a Polish-born French stage performer of Jewish origin on Broadway. While appearing in London, she was spotted by impresario Florenz Ziegfeld, who brought her to America as his common-law wife. From 1896 through 1910, she was one of Broadway's most celebrated leading ladies, presented in a succession of musicals as a charming, coquettish Parisian singer and comedienne, with an hourglass figure and an off-stage reputation for exotic behavior, such as bathing in 40 gallons of milk a day to maintain her complexion. Detractors implied that her fame owed more to Ziegfeld's promotional flair than to any intrinsic talent, but her audience allure was undeniable for over a decade, with several of her shows setting house attendance records for their time. Her uninhibited style also inspired the long-running series of popular revues, the Ziegfeld Follies.
