Constellation Similarity Assertions

Saddler, Donald

Donald Saddler is a choreographer, director, and dancer in the disciplines of film, stage, ballet, and opera. He was born in 1920 in Van Nuys, California and took up dancing in order to recover his strength after a bout of scarlet fever. He spent his high school vacations dancing in the chorus of MGM musicals such as the 1937 production, Rosalie.

Saddler was an original member of Ballet Theatre, and danced with the company from 1940-1943 before heading to Alaska for service in World War II. When he returned to New York in 1945, he decided to forego ballet in favor of Broadway musicals, appearing in High Button Shoes (1947) and two 1950 revues, Dance Me a Song and Bless You All, before obtaining his first appointment as a choreographer for Wonderful Town in 1953, for which he won the Tony Award for Best Choreography. Saddler continued to create ballets throughout his career, working with the American Ballet Theatre and the Harkness Ballet, for whom he served as artistic director from 1964-1970.
