Netflix Movies Starring Esther Muir

The statuesque American comedienne Esther Muir was a former New York model, who started in the chorus line of the 1922 "Greenwich Village Follies" on Broadway, straight out of high school, and with little or no theatrical training. She caught the eye, however, since her effort led to further work on stage, including "Battling Butler", opposite Charles Ruggles. There, she found herself in the role of the comic foil for the first time. In 1929, she followed an acclaimed performance in the Broadway production of "My Girl Friday" with further work in musical comedy for Lew Leslie's International Revue, alongside such luminaries as Gertrude Lawrence. Noted choreographer Busby Berkeley, who had worked on some of the dance numbers for the show, was introduced to Esther backstage by the columnist Walter Winchell. Esther subsequently married Berkely and accompanied him to Hollywood, after he had been signed by producer Samuel Goldwyn. Read more on iMDB
