Marika Rökk

 

Marika Rökk was Nazi Germany's answer to Ginger Rogers, Eleanor Powell and Betty Grable, all rolled into one.  She appeared in several films and television shows with cancans, including most notably, "Die Frau meiner Träume":

(At about 7:00)


The above photo is not from one of her cancan roles, but gives an idea. It was posted by Truus, Bob & Jan too! at Flickr:

I'd really like to find a nice clear still photo of the cancan scene from "Die Frau meiner Träume", but no luck yet.
