Ann Reinking, the actress, dancer and choreographer who played Roxie Hart in the Broadway musical "Chicago," has died, her manager Lee Gross confirmed to CNN in an email late Monday. She was 71.
Reinking started her career on stage and then moved to the big screen, making her film debut in 1978's "Movie Movie." She went on to star in the Bob Fosse biopic "All That Jazz," which was nominated for best picture at the Academy Awards.
In the 1990s, she made her big Broadway comeback with "Chicago" and won the Tony Award for best choreography.
"The world and our family have lost a vibrant, amazing talent and beautiful soul," her family said in a statement.
