Date of Birth : Feb 29th 1920
American dancer and actor. Although he is best-known to television audiences as Palmer Cortlandt on the soap opera All My Children (1979 – present), theatre and dance historians remember him as one of Agnes de Mille’s leading dancers. Mitchell’s skill at combining dance and acting was considered something of a novelty; in 1959, the critic Olga Maynard singled him out as “an important example of the new dancer-actor-singer in American ballet”, pointing to his interpretive abilities and “masculine” technique.
