York City) is an American dancer and Tony-winning choreographer. She won Tony
Awards for Best Choreographer for Brigadoon (1947) and Kwamina
(1962). In 1943, she choreographed Oklahoma!, a musical that
revolutionized the art form by integrating its choreographic numbers with the
plot in a way that had not been done before. She choreographed many other
musicals, including Carousel (1945), Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
(1949) and Paint Your Wagon (1951). The daughter of playwright
William Churchill de Mille and niece of director Cecil B. de Mille, Agnes spent
much of her youth in Hollywood, where she learned to dance before touring the
United States and Europe from 1929 to 1940 with mime-dance shows. Her career as
a choreographer began in 1929, when she choreographed The Black Crook.
She also choreographed ballets, most of them with New York City's Ballet
Theatre. Her most important ballet was Rodeo (1942) for the Ballet Russe
de Monte Carlo, which incorporated rodeo movements like bronco-riding and
steer-roping. Lightly toned and scratched and with light impressions on image
(not visible head on). Lightly creased in upper corners. Otherwise in fine
condition.
