Just found out, via Facebook, that my friend and interviewee Joe Lanza passed away yesterday. He was 88 years old.
Joe was a dance teacher in Hollywood and he danced in many tv shows and movies, including most of Colubmia studio's musicals of the 1950s such as DON'T KNOCK THE ROCK, ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK, CALYPSO HEATWAVE, and CHA CHA CHA BOOM!
He was quite a handsome man, also.
