Juliet Prowse

Juliet Prowse never intended on becoming an author, but when she spotted a little red suitcase in her parents’ attic, full of articles about her famous aunt, the dancer/entertainer Juliet Prowse, she just wanted to tell this story. As a communications professional with a BSc and MBA, Juliet was used to writing, but to ensure the authenticity of her aunt's biography, Juliet researched extensively, reading 1000 letters/articles and interviewing many who worked with Juliet.

Known as big Juliet and little Juliet in the Prowse household, little Juliet inherited her aunt’s athleticism and became a South African runner. She lives in Cape Town where she is an avid theatregoer and sports lover.
