Fanny Cano Biography (996 words)
Although Fanny Cano had not appeared in a film for five years, her sudden death in December 1983 made headlines in Mexico, a testimony to the impact the beautiful blonde actress had in her relatively brief film and TV career.
As the story goes, when Fanny saw herself on the screen later that year, she was so upset by her appearance (in the film she is a brunette!) and her performance that she swore never to make another film.
Fanny Cano appeared in two period films in 1977--La güera Rodríguez and La leyenda de Rodrigo--and was top-billed for what was essentially a guest role in Abel Salazar's rural-Mexico remake of "Romeo and Juliet," Una leyenda de amor, in 1978.
Fanny Brice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1163 words)
Fanny Brice (October 29, 1891 – May 29, 1951) was a popular and influential United States comedian, singer, and entertainer, remembered best for her many stage, radio and film appearances, her phonograph records, and as the creator and star of Baby Snooks.
Fanny Brice (occasionally spelled Fannie) was the stage name of Fania Borach, born in New York City, the third child of relatively well-off saloon owners of Hungarian Jewish descent.
Further, two children were born of the Brice-Arnstein marriage, but only their daughter is depicted in the film (the daughter Frances would marry Ray Stark, producer of both the Broadway musical and the film, while the son, William, became an artist of note).
