Cyd Charisse - RIP

[Saxton]

I always loved watching her in old movies, she seemed so classy and graceful. And she had legs that went on for ever!

I hadn't heard yet!

Wow, they're dropping like flies, lately

She will be missed! Posting a link for all you younger people who have no idea about who we are talking about!

What legs!

That's sad. I love that movie. I love their sequences together. Depressing.

I just watched a movie Saturday (Deep In My Heart) which had a wonderful dance number with Cyd and James Mitchell (Palmer/AMC). I will miss her. She was so beautiful even into her '80s. I always thought that if she ever had any cosmetic surgery, it was very natural looking and subtle.

My fave Cyd Charisse films are The Harvey Girls, The Bandwagon, Singin' In The Rain, Brigadoon & Silk Stockings.

Just saw "Contact" this Sunday. The "Girl in the Yellow Dress" is obviously heavily influenced by Ms. Charisse.
