Their parents were musicians and led the orchestra at the Standard Theater in Philadelphia. In 1932, the same year they made their first film, "Pie, Pie, Blackbird", with Eubie Blake, they opened at the Cotton Club, and remained there for two years straight, working side by side with the likes of Duke Ellington, Cab Callaway, and Ethel Waters. Samuel Goldwyn saw them at the fashionable club and invited them to California for their first Hollywood movie, "Kid Millions" (1934). Harold, in addition to his dancing abilities, was a natural comedian, impersonator, and singer, and was often featured by himself. His personal screen debut was in "The Emperor Jones", (1933), with Paul Robeson. Just after their first Broadway show "Ziegfeld Follies", the brothers went abroad for the first time to star in Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds", in 1936 in the West End of London. When the brothers were honored with a retrospective of their work in films on the Academy Awards television special in 1981, on could recall with pleasure some of their early appearances on the screen of "The Big Broadcast" of 1936; with Gracie Allen and George Burns; in "Sun Valley Serenade", (1941); with the Glenn Miller Orchestra, featuring Dorothy Dandridge dancing with the brothers in the "Chattanooga Choo-Choo" number; in "Orchestra Wives" (1942), where they performed one of their most beautiful routines to Glenn Miller's music of "I've Got a Gal in Kalamazoo"; and in "The Pirate" (1948), in a dance with Gene Kelly. The Nicholas Brothers were contracted to the Twentieth Century Fox studio in 1940 and made six films there. In all, they have made over thirty films, of which they themselves consider "Stormy Weather" (1943), their personal favorite. It features their now-classic, breathtaking staircase routine, their last appearance on film as a routine. Their lst appearance on film as a team was on of the highlights of MGM's 1985 compilation, "That's Dancing!" Fayard had a dramatic role in "The Liberation of L.B. Jones (1970), and Harold's solo appearances include "Carolina Blues" (1944), in the spectacular Mr. Beebe number; "The Reckless Age" (1944); "Uptown Saturday Night" (1944), as Little Seymour, with Sidney Poitier, Bill Cosby, and Harry Belafonte; "Tap" with Gregory Hines and Sammy Davis, Jr.; Robert Townsend's "The Five Heartbeats, (1991); and "Funny Bones:, (1995).
