Gwenyth Evelyn “Gwen” Verdon (January 13, 1925 – October 18, 2000) was an American dancer and actress who won 4 Tony Awards for her musical comedy performances. With flaming red hair and an endearing quaver in her voice, Verdon was considered the best dancer on Broadway in the 1950s and 1960s. She is also strongly identified with her husband, director/choreographer Bob Fosse, both as the dancer/collaborator/muse upon whom he choreographed much of his work and as guardian of the Fosse legacy after his death.
