Be Stiff/Tony Basil, "Rerun Fred Berry" and Devo (Not in that order)

From dancing/choreography on films with Elvis and Sinatra (as well as low budget beach blanket films) to working with Bruce Conner on a film set to her own 1966 soul classic "Breakaway" (written by Ed Cobb of Dirty Water/Sometimes Good Guys Don't Wear White and Tainted Love!), hanging out with Wallace Berman, Conner, Hopper and Stockwell. Easy Rider AND the era of Spazz Attack and Devo. The album with Mickey includes THREE Devo covers. Oh yeah, then there is all the 1970's choreography with the Lockers (SNL, Soul Train and everywhere else) with Fred "ReRun" Berry who I hold responsible for sending me to the Doobie Brothers at the Forum in LA circa 1980 to see what all the fuss was about after What's Happening!!
