Synopsis

Before Siegfried and Roy, there was Ron and Joy Holiday. Cat Dancers is the story of the husband and wife team who became the world’s first exotic cat entertainers in the 1960’s. Their act and their lives changed dramatically when dashing young Chuck Lizza joined the pair in the 1980’s. In a mysterious, tragic, and bizarre roller-coaster tale of love, family, loss, and survival, Cat Dancers weaves a tale that is as intriguing and charming as it is heartbreaking.

Winner, Special Jury Prize, SXSW 2007
