Summary

Profile of tap dancer Gregory Hines, winner of a 1992 Tony Award for his performance in the musical Jelly's last jam. In an interview with Lesley Stahl, he discusses his antipathy to the stereotype of the smiling tap dancer; his performances as a child dancer with his brother Maurice; the racism they encountered on tour in the United States; his interracial marriage; his sense of breaking racial barriers in his role as Jelly Roll Morton in Jelly's last jam; performing with ballet star Mikhail Baryshnikov in the film White nights; his estrangement from his brother Maurice, with whom he performed in the film The Cotton Club; his love of family; his enjoyment of working with younger tap dancers; his idolization of Sammy Davis, Jr.; his continuing discomfort with being a performer. Shorter statements are made by his wife Pamela Koslow, and Daria, his daughter from his first marriage. The profile includes numerous excerpts of Hines dancing in Jelly's last jam. He is also seen as a child, dancing with Maurice; with Baryshnikov in White nights; with Maurice in The Cotton Club; and in stage performances. The Nicholas Brothers, the famous tap dancing duo of an earlier era, are represented in a brief film clip.
