About Juliet Prowse

About Juliet Prowse, Author

Juliet never intended on becoming an author, but when she spotted a little red suitcase in her parents’ attic, filled to the brim with articles about her famous aunt, Juliet Prowse, the dancer and entertainer, curiosity drove her to explore her aunt's extraordinary journey and write her story.

Known as big Juliet and little Juliet in the Prowse household, little Juliet’s initial desire was to uncover her aunt’s experience as a teenager in 1950s London, but it grew to her wanting to tell Juliet's story of how she became a triple threat (can dance, sing, and act) on the stage, screen and television for four decades.

To ensure the authenticity of this story, Juliet waded through more than 1000 articles and letters, written mainly by her aunt, but also her managers and secretary, to her grandmother, and spoke to over 20 people in the entertainment industry who shared their stories about working with and love for Juliet, the dancer.
Juliet Prowse: Born to Dance is Juliet's first book and a love letter to her aunt.
