| Abstract | "Choreographer Alex Romero created Jailhouse Rock, the iconic Elvis Presley production number, but never received screen credit for his contribution. This book tells his story. The son of a Mexican general, Romero escaped the early 20th century revolution, joined his family's vaudeville dance act and became a dancer in Hollywood"-- Provided by publisher. |
