Rosemary Novellino-Mearns

Saves Radio City

"News clips and television interviews revealed a young, reserved dancer from Glen Rock, New Jersey, galvanizing her colleagues, the city, the nation, and indeed the world to achieve the impossible.

If Rosemary Novellino-Mearns comes to your neighborhood, go hear her tell her entertaining story. The hour-long presentation flies by. In any case, you will want to buy the book for behind the scenes facts about RCMH, about the political underbelly of New York City politics and real estate with a two-faced Mayor Koch, and about the beneficence of a nearby Hilton Hotel that provided the discouraged performers with an office and phone at no charge. A recognized authority on Radio City Music Hall – Rosie admits to crawling into its many secret places – her book has it all. Rosemary Novellino-Mearns readily confesses, 'I love that theater.'"
