GAZZARRI DANCERS. COM

There were several dozen dancers who appeared on HOLLYWOOD A GO-GO over the full course of its run.  Some were there for only a few episodes and some possibly for only one.  The core group of dancers was June, Mimi, DeAnn, Gwen, Jacqui, and Dale.  These girls were there for many episodes, and in the case of DeAnn, every episode.  We have included Shelley in the core group because she appeared for several months and because of her dancing abilities.

Dancers considered "part-time", who we can identify by name, are included on this page.  This is only a start and we hope to identify more.  Perhaps you can help us by naming one of the ladies on our "Mystery Dancers" page?



 

CARLIE LYNN McCUMMINGS was a part-time dancer on whom we have scant information.  We know that she was not one of the original HOLLYWOOD A GO-GO dancers and probably came onboard the show in mid to late 1965.  After graduating from college in Indiana in late spring of 1965 she was in her car and on the way to follow her dreams in California within a few weeks.  Employment as a GAZZARRI followed shortly thereafter in Gazzarri's nightclub.  She drifted on over to HOLLYWOOD A GO-GO to appear in several of the later episodes before the show ended. 

In 1969 she met Gene Clark from the Byrds and married him in 1970.  The Byrds appeared in July and December of 1965 on two episodes (# 30 and the last episode # 52) of HOLLYWOOD A GO-GO and CARLIE may have also danced on these shows but we don't know if they had any contact at that time.  We don't have a photo of CARLIE and hope that someone can help us solve the mystery as to which dancer she is on the YouTube videos.  She currently resides in northern California and works helping women with drug and alcohol dependency problems.
