Tony Award-winning Broadway legend Ann Reinking, an actor, dancer and choreographer, died on Saturday night in Washington, her sister-in-law Dahrla King told Variety. She was 71.
The world and our family have lost a vibrant, amazing talent and beautiful soul. Ann was the heart of our family and the life of the party, her family said in a statement on Monday. She was visiting our brother in Washington state when she went to sleep and never woke up. We will miss her more than we can say. Heaven has the best choreographer available now. Im sure they are dancing up a storm up there! Annie, we will love and miss you always!!!

(18,486 posts)I LOVE her.
Not only was she a gifted dancer, actress and singer, she was a tremendous choreographer who helped to keep Bob Fosse's unique choreography alive.
Rest in peace.
