 Wally Green was a South African-born dancer and choreographer who, at one stage, partnered [[Juliet Prowse]].  He became a choreographer in London and then went to Hollywood, where he worked on several Billy Wilder films: ''Some Like It Hot'' (1959), ''Irma la Douce'' (1963), ''Kiss Me, Stupid'' (1964) and ''The Fortune Cookie'' (1966).  He also did some choreography for television, including two episodes of the series ''Mr. Ed'' and the television version of ''Johnny Belinda'' (Paul Bogart/1967).  In addition he was the dance director for ''Brigadoon'', staged by the Conejo Choraliers at the California Lutheran College. Most interestingly, during this time he was also the Chief Instructor of the Pink Pussycat College of Striptease on Santa Monica Boulevard.  On 22 July 1963 he appeared on the television game show ''To Tell the Truth'' on which the panel members had to guess who of three participants was the real Wally Green (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5TbkgkpJ-4)
-Shortly after his return to South Africa he directed the movie ''[[Lindie]]'' (1971) for [[Tommie Meyer]] and resumed his career as choreographer.  He created dance numbers for a number of musical shows and also became the head choreographer for [[SABC]] Television.  In this capacity he directed the early morning exercise programme ''[[Body Beat]]'', while the Wally Green Dance Studio trained local dancers for the medium.  He worked on [[Alan Nathanson]]’s television movie ''[[Ducktails]]'' (1977), as well as on [[Gray Hofmeyr]]’s [[Leon Schuster]] film ''[[Sweet ‘n Short]]'' (1991).
