Artie Young

Actor · Born February 24, 1915 (111) · Pasadena, California, USA

Statuesque beauty Artie Young was one of the premier dancers of her day. From the late 1930's to the 1950's, no show was complete without Artie's beauty and divine dancing. Artie was a popular nightclub and stage dancer in California. She was a dancer in Duke Ellington's revue "Jump For Joy" (1941), where she received rave reviews for her jungle dance. She appeared in Hollywood films only as a dancer. In "Carolina Blues," "Stormy Weather," "Broadway Rhythm" and "Skirts Ahoy," her beauty and graceful moves were a great addition to the musical numbers. In Stormy Weather (1943) in the scene "I Can't Give You Anything But Love,", she was memorable as one of the beautiful front dancers. A publicity photo that has been reprinted in many film history books, from that scene features her with Lena Horne and Bill Robinson. Artie is probably most memorable for being cast as the girlfriend of two 1939 westerns starring Herb Jeffries, namely The Bronze Buckaroo (1939) and Harlem Rides the Range (1939).
