Arlene Phillips used to be a dancer but came to prominence as the choreographer of the raunchy Hot Gossip troupe featured on The Kenny Everett Show.
Her big breakthrough came when after studying dance in Manchester she came to London and got a job babysitting for the director Ridley Scott, who asked her to choreograph on some of his ads.
Arlene Phillips has gone on to choreograph numerous videos, commercials, films and musicals including Saturday Night Fever, which she also directed.
Saturday Night Fever attracted a lot of praise. "Arlene Phillips's often powerful choreography", said The Guardian; "Arlene Phillips's exuberant choreography" said The Telegraph.
