Career

Fosse appeared in Miami Vice in the role of Lani Mueller and played Kristine in the film version of A Chorus Line.

She has participated in productions involving her parents, including All That Jazz directed by her father, the 2009 Broadway revival of her father's musical revue Dancin' [1] and the biographical miniseries Fosse/Verdon (2019). For her work as co-executive producer on the latter, she received a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Limited Series.

Fosse/Verdon

Fosse served as a creative consultant and co-executive producer of Fosse/Verdon (2019), which depicted the romantic and creative partnerships of her parents.[2] In working for the eight-part biographical mini-series, Fosse noted that aside from sharing facts and the emotional experiences of living with her famous parents, she also became more cognizant of what actually occurred during the years that the creative duo were together.[2] In an interview, Michelle Williams, who played Gwen Verdon, said one of the most complicated dilemmas in Verdon's life was the long gap in her career as she stayed home to take care of her daughter.[3] The series also depicts how Bob Fosse's girlfriend, Ann Reinking, taught young Nicole ballet, endearing herself to her mother, becoming part of the family in the process.[4]

Personal life

Fosse's husband, stagehand Andreas Greiner, died in 2000. She has three adult sons.[5]
