Movie Title Dancer Description

Waiting For Guffman

Warlords    starring David Carradine

Wax Works 2 In an alternate world there's a plot to poison King Arthur and replace him w/ a wicked wizard look alike, for dining entertainment (as usual LOL) there are jugglers, fire eaters and gee... would ya believe... a belly dancer with a boa or python, looks somewhat like Delilah, not sure who it was, but of course he is being poisoned while she is seducing him from paying attention to such, and she starts wavering in and out of focus as the poison takes hold, so last thing he sees was her... geez! Are we wicked Mata Hari's, Salome's, Queens of Sheba all, or is this male fantasy (or fear...) -- Amira

We Got It Made!

Wee Wee Monsieur - Three Stooges A Three Stooges short. Curley, Larry and Moe, as Foreign Legionnaires ("You foreign legion? We American Legion!") infiltrate the harem of a stereotypical Sultan. All of the harem girls, of course, are suspiciously American: one of the short's many funny lines: the girl Curley flirts with tells him she's from the old neighborhood: "Toidy-toid & Toid Avenah. I just came ovah." It's strictly Hollywood Arabian Nights stuff (though the sight of the Stooges dancing with the "Harem girls" is flat out hilarious) but overall the short ranks among the Stooges' best. - Paul B

Wham Bam Thank You Spaceman Anisa Gluzan (1973)

Where East is East    Lupe Valez

Where the Spies Are    (1965) Dr. Love (David Niven) is a suave Brittish secret agent. Nigel Davenport, Françoise Dorléac

Weird Science Ansuya

White Cargo Hedy Lamarr (1942) Hedy Lamarr plays Tondelayo, an island girl who betters herself by mesmerizing the white officer in charge into giving her money, gifts, trinkets, fabric... to his ultimate demise - in fact one of the officers is carted off a physically and mentally ruined man - on the verge of madness. Actually, I didn't find her dance quite that mesmerizing... -- Aziza Sa'id

Witch Maker, The Diane Webber (1969) her name in movie: The Nautch of Tangier

Wholly Moses! Laraine Newman Dudley Moore comedy; belly dancers featured briefly to help symbolize the decadence

Wild Wild West Will Smith Has anyone seen the new movie "Wild Wild West"? Well, here's a picture for you:Will Smith as a M.E./B. Dancer!!!It was absolutely hilarious! Luckily, in the story line, he wasn't supposidly doing an actual dancer, just someone in discuise (because the dancing was, well....you'll see).--Tarifa til-Jamila

Wizard of Speed and Time, The
Laurie Rose (aka Mesmera)
feature film "The Wizard of Speed and Time" has some quick shots of three or four women in bedlah who were recruited as "extras" for the recreation of the filming of the original short animated film "The Wizard of Speed and Time" (if you followed that). They're visible in the set-up shot and in the take for the scene in the film where the gang of women comes running down the hill to be in time to see the Wizard when he passes by. There's no telling if they were really dancers or just women who fit in the costumes, but it was still fun to see them.

Wizards of the Demon Sword Melinda Golden (1991)

Woman Hunt Laurie Rose (aka Mesmera) (1972)

Women of Wisdom On PBS there was a special called "Women of Wisdom" or something like that and during different segments there was a bellydancer..I believe she was dancing near water.....very pretty costume and mood setting. - Barbara

Woodstock    OK, the reach of the day: in the original "Woodstock" movie (1970), during Santana's "Soul Sacrifice" a girl in the audience is dancing along, and doing some terrific bellydance moves. -- Paul B

Working Girls, The Laurie Rose (aka Mesmera) (1973)

World's Greatest Lover, The    starring Gene Wilder... a few bellydance costumes.....I thought they were cute. - Barbara
