In fact, Jacksort has been associated with the Trop?╟╓s ?╟úFolies?╟Ñ in one capacity or another since 1966. Back then, he was assistant choreographer to Herme Pans. It was also in ?╟╓66 that Jackson was hired by Paris "Folies?╟Ñ director Michel Gyarmathy to choreographjthe 100th- anniversary production of the original show. Gyarmathy and Jackson share equal interests in that both men have repre- sented the world famous Parisian revue for the past 45 years. Born in Bristow, Okla., a small rural community in the Midwest, Jackson grew up fascinated with the movie mu- sicals he watched on the silver screen. He began studying music at age 8, and although he couldn?╟╓t dance until age 18 (he suffered from a foot deformity in his earlier years), Jackson had already developed a love for the theater. He graduated from UCLA in 1960 with a master?╟╓s degree in art. While at the university, he was an assistant professor in the music department. Jackson also studied to be a concert pi- anist, and developed a keen eye for the eamera-a talent that led^him to be- come one of Saks Fifth Avenue?╟╓s lead- ing photographers in the mid-1960s.

Jackson?╟╓s Broadway credits include ?╟úMan of La Mancha?╟Ñ with Lani Kazan, ?╟úPromises, Promises ?╟Ñ starring Frank Gorshin, and ?╟úSeven Brides for Seven Brothers,?╟Ñ starring Jane Powell and. Howard Keel.
