   You must realize that she was elderly when she made the comments, and   
   her better days in film were long-gone.   
      
   Too much free time on her hands, too many memories, and maybe not   
   enough "glory"?  She was 83 years old when she died in 1995.  She must   
   have felt that Fred got more acclaim than she did.   
      
   Did Fred choreograph the routines?  I think he did.  He collaborated   
   with Hermes Pan (1910 - 1990).   
      
   You know how older people complain.  Just ask my housekeeper.
