billandnormandws046.jpgBill Borine, as a tribute to his late uncle, Norman, presents Dancing with the Stars. Though Norman was not able to publish this work before his death, Bill has published it posthumously to show the world his uncle’s amazing life. Bill remembers his uncle fondly, and hopes you will enjoy reading about his life and the stars he worked with. Visit www.dancingwiththestarsbook.com to learn even more.

Norman Borine reveals intimately the exciting and fascinating story of how he moved from a small town in Idaho to Hollywood, where he soon became a member of the large and elite MGM FAMILY. He explains how he leaped from a $100 per week “contract dancer” to become the first dance partner to Cyd Charisse, earning $1,000 per week (a remarkable salary for a dancer in the early ‘40s) ... and to become a “dance-in” for Fred Astaire.

Norman relates tales of dancing with Judy Garland, Gene Kelly, Ray Bolger, Lucille Ball, Lucille Bremer, Betty Hutton, Marilyn Monroe, Carmen Miranda, Vera Ellen, Eleanor Powell, Mitzi Gaynor, Yvonne De Carlo, and of swimming until waterlogged with Esther Williams. He tells amusing incidents about Marjorie Main, as well as a dramatic and humorous story of Lassie. He relates encounters on the MGM Lot with Katharine Hepburn, as well as famous directors and choreographers. And during times when he was loaned-out to every other major studio, his experiences were broadened ... so the list of movie-greats with whom he worked goes on-and-on, thus enfolding fascinating tales never before told.
