Choreography, Actor Born: Philadelphia, PA Biography:American dancer/choreographer/actress "Toni Basil" listed her official film debut as 1966. However, she can be spotted as a go-go dancer (along with "Teri Garr") in 1964's "The T.A.M.I. Show", and in the chorus of several other like-vintage musicals. Larger non-musical parts came "Basil"'s way in two of "Dennis Hopper"'s films, "Easy Rider" (1969) (as Mary) and "The Last Movie" (1971); and also in "Robert Downey"'s allegorical western "Greaser's Palace" (1972). "Bob Rafelson", another of the new-wave American directors of the 1970s, cast "Basil" as Terry Grouse in "Five Easy Pieces" (1972). Evidently a favorite of "cult" directors into the 1990s, "Toni Basil" was one of a fascinating group of birthday celebrants in "Henry Jaglom"'s off-the-cuff "Eating" (1990). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
