The star performer of the first movie clip to be wildly popular was Annabelle Moore Whitford, a dancer who became popular in Chicago at the time of the city's Columbian Exposition and World's Fair. Her dances, known as the Butterfly Dance, and the Serpentine Dance, were influenced by another Chicagoan, Loie Fuller, who turned skirt dancing into an artform, and launched the Modern Dance movement. This is the wild story of both of them.
