POV

The passage in the article about Keeler having a background as an Irish step dancer is a little bit disingenuous. She may have been trained as one, but I have never seen an Irish step dancer who was anywhere near as clumsy as Keeler is onscreen. If it weren't for the fact she was married to Al Jolson, she never would have made it. It makes me wonder why in the world he felt threatened by her. She was cute, but she simply didn't have talent.--Susan Nunes —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.53.125.76 (talk) 17:38, 12 May 2007 (UTC).
