Glenn Miller

The beautiful blonde girl who appears at the beginning of the video and recurs throughout was a model, actress and artist. She was 15 at the time the video was made in 1981 (though it aired on MTV in '82). The production company for the video was Homer & Associates. I know the actress but am not permitted to disclose her identity. I just wished to say that "Ronda Rudy", the name given before the post, is not the name of the Abracadabra girl. It may be the name of the woman who comes in half way through and dances around and then appears as a hooded witch.

Glenn Miller grew up in Clarinda, Iowa. He was born on March 1, 1904, and spent his early years in this small town before moving to nearby Omaha, Nebraska, during his teenage years. His upbringing in Iowa played a significant role in shaping his musical career.

Glenn Miller's children, Steven and Jonnie, experienced a life marked by their father's legacy as a famous bandleader and musician. After Glenn Miller's mysterious disappearance during World War II, they were raised by their mother, Helen Miller. Both children pursued their own paths, with Steven becoming a businessman and Jonnie working in education. They have occasionally been involved in preserving their father's music and legacy.

Yes, Tex Beneke, the American jazz saxophonist and bandleader, had children. He was married twice and had a total of four children. His family life was relatively private, but it is known that he maintained a connection with his children throughout his life.

Glenn Miller's plane was shot down during World War II, but the specific circumstances remain unclear. On December 15, 1944, his aircraft disappeared over the English Channel, and it is believed that it was likely a result of friendly fire from Allied forces, possibly British anti-aircraft gunners, although no definitive evidence has confirmed this. The exact details of the incident and who was responsible have never been conclusively determined.

The Glenn Miller Story was created in 1954.

when Did Glenn Miller Recored Adios

Ray Anthony was a 17-year-old trumpeter when he passed an audition to perform with the Glenn Miller civilian band. Unfortunately he wasn't able to handle live performances very well and parted company with Miller after a short time.

His abilities matured following the war and he parlayed his move-star looks and brief association with the Miller band into many years of performing original Miller arrangements and new songs written in the Miller style.

No, he's much younger so he would not have performed with the original orchestra. His Miller connection is that he was a member of Tex Beneke's band and assumed its leadership when Tex passed away in 2000.

Moe (Maurice) Purtill was the drummer on the April 2, 1942 recording session.

Glenn Miller was born on March 1, 1904.

He didn't create that name. It was a generic name given to the jumping style of dancing that was often performed to swing music. It resembled a bug jittering around, hence the term.
