Author Elizabeth Gitter and dancer and actress Marge Champion on this edition of Fresh Air. Elizabeth Gitter's book is The Imprisoned Guest: Samuel Howe and Laura Bridgman, the Original Deaf-Blind Girl. Gitter came upon the story of Laura Bridgman and was fascinated by this forgotten chapter of history. Bridgman learned to read and write, but her fame was eclipsed by the more charming and attractive Helen Keller. Gitter is a professor of English at the City University of New York's John Jay College. She specializes in the Victorian era. Marge Champion starred in some of the great musicals of the 1950s, including the films Show Boat and Mr. Music, as well as several stage productions and television shows, along with her partner Gower Champion. She acted in some notable films, including The Swimmer. Her career spans many decades and she was most recently in a Broadway revival of Follies. Champion teaches classes at Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival. (Broadcast Date: August 23, 2001)
