Bill Robinson

[edit]

At a young age, she studied tap dancing with, among others, Bill “Bojangles” Robinson.

The only sources I've managed to find supporting this are a page from Masterworks Broadway[1] which could easily be an example of circular sourcing, since the phrasing and content are very similar to this page and no other sources are cited; and a book published by Hal Leonard Corporation,[2] whose scholarly bona fides I'm not entirely sure of (nor does it give much weight to the "among others" part, whatever that is supposed to mean). Any help verifying this material with more reliable sources would be appreciated. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 01:34, 15 March 2017 (UTC) [reply]

See discussion in My grandma hanging out with Albert Einstein in her backyard. Taken around 1945. Shows a picture of Nanette with Albert Einstein.

The post from OP (Comment by OP):

--------------------------
i just talked with my dad and i posted a separate comment with the backstory. but here it is again in case you can’t find it :)
BACKSTORY TO THIS PIC:
Edit to the title: this wasn’t in her backyard, it was in Einstein’s backyard!
My grandma was an actress. She was doing a show in NY and one of her friends was going to meet him at his house out of the city, and wanted to know if Nan wanted to come along too.
So they spent a lovely afternoon in upstate NY with him. She asked him to sketch his theory of relativity on a cocktail napkin, which he did for her... sadly she did not keep it, and I heard her many times over the years express regret for that.
