Leonard (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) biographical romantic love triangle musical biography ("The greatest entertainment of our time!"; "300 girls"; "50 stars"; "10 shows in one"; "The sensation of the century!"; winner of the Best Picture Academy Award; a highly fictionalized biography of the legendary showman, Flo Ziegfeld) starring William Powell (in the title role as Florenz Ziegfeld), Myrna Loy (as Billie Burke), Luise Rainer (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; as Anna Held), Frank Morgan, Fanny Brice (in a cameo as herself!), Virginia Bruce, Reginald Owen, Ray Bolger (in a cameo as himself!), Ernest Cossart, Nat Pendleton, Harriet Hoctor, Joseph Cawthorn (billed as "Joseph Cawthorne"), Joan Holland, Raymond Walburn, and Esther Muir. Note that this movie gave Luise Rainer her second consecutive Best Actress Oscar. But soon after, she turned her back on Hollywood and moved to Europe. Perhaps that partly explains why she had such a long life (she passed away in 2014 at age 104)! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
