#fred astaire

I remember vividly seeing 'Tarzan' and Fred Astaire, the Chaplin films, Fred Astaire musicals, MGM, because of my mother. She was just interested in everything and she took me to opera and ballet, and then ballet got me hooked. ↗

No dancer can watch Fred Astaire and not know that we all should have been in another business. ↗

I was asked to act when I couldn't act. I was asked to sing 'Funny Face' when I couldn't sing, and dance with Fred Astaire when I couldn't dance - and do all kinds of things I wasn't prepared for. Then I tried like mad to cope with it. ↗

Fred Astaire was a more formal, trained dancer who loved waltzing and only danced with the girls. ↗
