Cyd Charisse

Cyd Charisse was an unforgettably elegant dancer. Fred Astaire called her “beautiful dynamite.“ Arguably the best female dancer in film history, Cyd was clearly the smoothest and had some of the most celebrated numbers. Classically trained in ballet, she starred with Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire in two of the best musical/dance movies: Singin in the Rain and The Band Wagon. Also included here is one of my favorites Silk Stockings (also with Fred), Brigadoon (with Gene), The Harvey Girls (with Judy Garland),
