CHARLESTON!



I can't even say that I hope to be that spry when I'm 60 or so because, hell, I'm not that spry NOW!

Favorite Scenes from Film; 3.

I'm back. I'm upset and hurt right now. I don't want to get into it because nobody wants to hear depressing things from a stranger when we all have our own problems, right?

So, to cheer myself and perhaps, a few of you; I present the third of my favorite movie moments, brought back with a vengeance thanks to a little reminder over on FABULON .


A cute little number with some very swell dancing performed by three amazing entertainers; Donald O'Connor, Debbie Reynolds, and Gene Kelly; who coincidentally, had family members in my small town, I give you:

Good Mornin' from Singin' in the Rain (1952):



I'm smiling now and, I hope you are as well.

Sunny Side Up!,

Tula Ellice Finklea.

The well-known actress and dancer referred to in in Hollywood as Cyd Charisse , passed away on the 17th, as I'm sure all of you are already aware but, this is the first chance I've gotten to sit down and make a post.

Cyd's filmography includes roles in such classic films as The Harvey Girls alongside Judy Garland, Silk Stockings with Fred Astaire, and she was chosen specifically by Gene Kelly to perform alongside him in the famous Broadway Medley Ballet scene from Singin' in the Rain .

She was presented with the National Medal of the Arts and Humanities in 2006 in honor of her extensive career.

So, goodbye to another of the last gems of Hollywood's golden age, and thank you for sharing your talent.


Cyd alongside Fred Astaire in The Band Wagon:

Sunny Side Up! darlings,
Krista.

Fred gets down with his bad self!

....to the sounds of MJ,
Unbeknownst to him of course.

This pretty much made my day DESPITE my distaste for Michael in general.

Fred Astaire makes me happy regardless.
