Jodie Carn, A Life in Show Business (12/14/2020)

Jodie Carn was born into SHOW BUSINESS. Her mother, DONA MASSIN, was the FAMED CHOREOGRAPHER, at MGM Studios, who was most famously known for choreographing many of the best dance numbers in the MGM Musicals, but was THE CHOREOGRAPHER for one of the most famous movies in the world, THE WIZARD OF OZ! Jodie's mom was the choreographer who gave you "THE SKIP" sequence in the movie as well as making certain the most famous song in the world, SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW, made it into the movie! Jodie was going to be a TRIPLE THREAT! She took dancing, acting, and singing lessons, and once she did her first Dance Recital, she was hooked! At 13, Jodie auditioned as a dancer for THE WINK MARTINDALE DANCE PARTY! In those days, she lied about her age, but made myself older, 16, and booked the show! Jodie was on the show for 3 yrs., 5 days a week. During that time she also booked HER DREAM JOB, dancing in the movie, BLUE HAWAII, starring ELVIS PRESLEY! A lucky singing break came one day while leaving her singing lesson, and DICK of the famed group DICK and DeeDee, said that Jodie was perfect for some songs he wanted recorded with none other than THE MARVELETTES! Imagine that, at such a young age Jodie was recording at one the most famous recording studios in the world, GOLD STAR RECORDING STUDIOS, with the MARVELETTES as her back-up singers! https://twitter.com/Jodie317 https://www.youtube.com/user/Jodiecarn https://www.facebook.com/jodie.carn https://www.instagram.com/jodiecarn/?hl=en https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodie-carn-14620018/
