Harold Nicholas
Harold Lloyd Nicholas was an American dancer specializing in tap. He was the younger half of the worldfamous tapdancing pair the Nicholas Brothers, known as two of the worlds greatest dancers. His older brother was Fayard Nicholas. Harold was married to actress Dorothy Dandridge from 1942 to 1951.
Nicholas was born to drummer and orchestra leader Ulysses Domonick and pianist Viola Harden in WinstonSalem, North Carolina. By the age of three, his older brother Fayard enjoyed sitting in the audience of the black vaudeville theater where his parents performed, enraptured by the great performers on stage. Immersed in show business, when the Nicholases added a second son to the family, sevenyearold Fayard insisted that the child be named after his idol, Harold Lloyd, the silentscreen comedian. The two brothers soon began dancing, and they quickly gained acclaim for their elegant acrobatic moves and mastery of tap. When Fayard wasand Harold nine, they made their first appearance at the legendary Cotton Club in New York City and were a popular success immediately.
