Back in 1970, Trump's name appeared on the marquee at The Brooke Atkinson's Theater. He wasn't singing or dancing, he was a producer and had his one and only credit on a Broadway show.
At the time he was fresh out of the University Of Pennsylvania and decided to invest $70,000 in a comedy called Paris Is Out, written by Richard Seff.
