歌舞大王佛羅倫茲‧齊格飛二世 (Florenz Ziegfeld Jr.) 於1869年3月21日出生了

一位叫做安娜‧海德 (Anna Held) 的法國籍女演員向齊格飛歌舞團提出一個構想。齊格飛後來在1897年娶安娜為妻，並且接受她的建議創造出類似許多安娜曾經在巴黎看過的音樂劇，用許多漂亮的歌舞女郎、誇張的服飾、以及喜劇為號召。為什麼不這樣做呢？「美國女孩是全世界最美麗的女孩」安娜這樣說。齊格飛在紐約製作第一齣富麗秀，也就是1907富麗秀。而這場表演當然就是由安娜‧海德領銜主演。這場表演相當成功！這場秀繼續在美國演出，而且在經濟大蕭條之前，每年都會有修改。這是一張1913年富麗秀的海報。

A charming French-born actress named Anna Held suggested the idea for the Ziegfeld Follies. Ziegfeld married Anna Held in 1897, and she inspired him to create a musical revue like the ones she had seen in Paris, featuring pretty chorus girls, chic costumes, and comedy. Why not? American girls were "the most beautiful girls in the world," she said. In New York, Ziegfeld produced the first of the spectacular Follies, the Follies of 1907, starring--who other than?--Anna Held. It was a hit! The popular Follies continued, updated each year until the Great Depression. Here's a hit from the Follies of 1913.
