Here's a little video bonus - if you've only ever seen Bonnie Franklin as Ann Romano on the sitcom, "One Day At a Time," you're in for a treat! Here she is dancing up a storm in Applause. By the way - after Bonnie wrapped up her time in the show as "Bonnie," every dancer that played her role afterward was referred to by her real first name.
