Biography

Born in Chicago on September 21, 1919, Miriam Lois Frankel was the only child of Daniel Frankel and Miriam Elizabeth Bly Frankel. Her father was a salesman turned producer of nightclub shows while her mother was a seamstress who later pursued a show-business wardrobe department career. At the age of 19, Miriam made her first appearance on Broadway in the musical revue "Sing Out the News" (1938) alongside June Allyson, singing "Sing Ho for Private Enterprise". In 1941, two weeks after the Pearl Harbor attack, she tied the knot with Gene Nelson, a fellow dancer and actor, and they moved to Los Angeles where she landed a seven-year acting and dancing contract after a chance encounter with a friend at Paramount. Her distinguished onscreen performances include a role in the drama "Double Indemnity" (1944) as Edward G. Robinson's secretary and impressive dance work in "Duffy's Tavern" (1945). Ms. Nelson shifted her focus to choreography after her divorce from Gene Nelson in 1956 and worked on various television projects including "The Red Skelton Hour," "Father Knows Best," "The Lucy Show," "The Love Boat," and "Murder, She Wrote". Her first major onscreen choreography credit was on Blake Edwards' "He Laughed Last" (1956) and her last onscreen credit was for the romantic drama film "Out of the Cold" starring Keith Carradine, released on DVD in 2001.
