In this episode of "Dance Talk” ® with Joanne Carey , host Joanne Carey interviews author, Juliet Prowse.


In this episode of  "Dance Talk” ®, host Joanne Carey speaks with Juliet Prowse, the niece of the legendary dancer Juliet Prowse. They discuss the journey of writing the book 'Juliet Prowse, Born to Dance', inspired by a suitcase of letters and articles.

Juliet shares insights into her aunt's life, career, and the challenges she faced as a woman in the entertainment industry during the 50s and 60s. The conversation highlights Juliet's resilience, her love for dance, and the impact she had on those around her. Juliet also reflects on her personal relationship with her aunt and the legacy she hopes to leave for future generations of dancers.


Juliet Prowse never intended on becoming an author, but when she spotted a little red suitcase in her parents’ attic, filled to the brim with articles about her famous aunt, Juliet Prowse, the dancer and entertainer, curiosity drove her to explore her aunt's extraordinary journey and write her story.
Known as big Juliet and little Juliet in the Prowse household, little Juliet’s initial desire was to uncover her aunt’s experience as a teenager in 1950s London, but it grew to her wanting to tell Juliet's story of how she became a triple threat (can dance, sing, and act) on the stage, screen and television for four decades.
To ensure the authenticity of this story, Juliet waded through more than 1000 articles and letters, written mainly by her aunt, but also her managers and secretary, to her grandmother, and spoke to over 20 people in the entertainment industry who shared their stories about working with and love for Juliet, the dancer.
Juliet Prowse: Born to Dance is Juliet's first book and a love letter to her aunt.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
