Barbara Newberry

Cole Porter gave her the job as choreographer, with Carl Randall, for Gay Divorce (1932-33), starring Fred Astaire in his last Broadway show.

[8] The final collaborative project between Newberry and Randall came in November 1933 when they produced and starred in The Monte Carlo Follies at the Dorchester Hotel in London.

[9] Newberry's last big show was Love Laughs in 1935 at the London Hippodrome where she performed with Laddie Cliff, the British dancer, choreographer, actor, producer, writer, and director of comedy, musical theatre and film, near the end of his career.

While in London near the end of the run for Gay Divorce, it was reported that Briton George Farrar proposed marriage to Newberry.

Accounts suggest that her dance partner of many years, Carl Randall, was strongly against the match and reportedly "brought her back to America" in April 1934.
