Toni Basil is like a Forest Gump or something. She worked with David Bowie, David Byrne, Bette Midler, Tina Turner....
Her screen debut was with Frank Sinatra. She danced in Viva Las Vegas while Elvis Presley played guitar and sang What'd I Say. She choreographed the film. She was assistant choreographer on the Tami Show, the show where Mick Jagger had to follow James Brown. She had brief appearances in Easy Rider and Five Easy Pieces. She choreographed many on the top movie in the seventies and eighties, including American Graffiti. And she did the dance sequences in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

She’s also the young lady dancing with Davy Jones in the ‘Daddy’s Song’ sequence in the Monkees movie ‘Headquarters. She choreographed the dance too.
