Does anyone know if actress Brooke D'Orsay is Fifi's relative?
Just wondering how common the last name is.

I think she's the cousin of Musee D'Orsay.

Posted: 9/7/06 at 10:03pmIf so, Fifi would be her grandmother -- or possibly great-grandmother. But if you compare the photos of her with those of Fifi, it's certainly possible.

I supposed it's possible that they are related. It's a common enough name. They're both from Canada (even though Fifi was billed as the "French Bombshell"), but REALLY doubt that's a close enough connection.
I love me some Fifi, though!
She's terrific in "Going Hollywood" with Bing Crosby crooning "Temptation" to her as she glares at him from a bar stool. Steamy stuff!

If you read the book EVERYTHING WAS POSSIBLE by Ted Chapin, he paints a funny but annoying picture of Fifi during the rehearsal period of the original FOLLIES.
As one who saw that production about 5 times, I can say that she was very amusing and far more intelligible than others who followed her in the role.
