How a forgotten film star became a Broadway hit at 61 | New York Post

'After Broadway, Keeler starred in two national tours of “Nanette” before a brain aneurysm in 1974 put an end to her dancing. '

' Ruby Keeler died in 1993, at home, surrounded by her family. '

'By 1970, she’d been retired for 30 years. '

'As she descended, beckoning two chorus boys to join her, someone from the audience shouted, “Look — she’s got her tap shoes on!” Then Keeler started to dance. '

'When the number was over, audience members were on their feet, screaming for an encore.“No, No, Nanette” opened on Broadway on Jan. 19, 1971. '
