Fred Astaire - His film and stage career lasted an outstanding 76 years and he made 31 musical films, often with the lovely Ginger Rogers. Fred Astaire made music with his feet and the sound of his shoes harmonizes with musical score on these old time radio shows.

Mike

I saw a documentary about Fred Astaire by Len Goodman and he talked a lot about Fred dancing with his sister with lots of photos and footage, it was really good. I love Fred, I could watch him dance for hours

Mike

Fred Astaire was one of a kind, a great dancer, it was like seeing him flying in the air, so fast, so accurate, so perfect. Dinah Shore was someone very special, she was loved by everyone, she had a very gentle attitude and the smile in her face all the time.....In those days actors did not want to make any one feel uncomfortable and they laughed and sang with pleasure and had the best of time...

My favorite dancing partner of Fred's was definitely Rita Hayworth. Man, they could really dance together and I mean some real good dancing!

Hal

I'm sure 11941 and 42 were very happy years for Mr. Astaire. Spending an enormous amount of time and dancing with Rita in her physical prime is a highlight many men envied, I'm sure. The smile on Fred's face in all of his photos with Rita certainly is evidence of his rapture. Then, to go on and do the same thing with other beauties signifies a life well-lived.
