GILDA GRAY The Queen of The Shimmy October 24 1901 - December 22 1959 Was born Marianna Winchalaska in Krakow, Poland. Her birth parents were killed in a revolution and she was adopted from an orphanage. She escaped from Poland with her foster parents just before Krakow was taken over by Russia prior to World War I. She became famous in the US for popularising a dance called The Shimmy which became fashionable in 1920 s film and theatre productions. The Shimmy has said to have been introduced to American audiences in New York in 1919. Sources say that her shimmy was born one night when she was singing The Star-Spangled Banner and forgot some lyrics. She covered up her embarrassment by shaking her shoulders and hips. In 1923, she took her successful act and persona to Hollywood and between 1919 and 1936 she made several movies, shimmying on the screen in each one. Her first appearance was uncredited, but her second role was a small part in Girl with the Jazz Heart. Gilda then made Aloma of the South Seas, which grossed $3 000 000 in its first three months. When the stock market crashed in 1929, Gilda Gray lost most of her financial assets, but she managed to get a job dancing at The Palace Theatre in New York for $3 500 a week, not bad in those depression years. Miss Gray was getting $15 000 a week for her shimmy. That was what her percentage in Los Angeles amounted to. For this amount she was doing three 15 minute shows, in which her actual shimmying time was two minutes each. At this rate she received $178.51 a minute.
