R.I.P. Cyd Charisse





Dance star of It's Always Fair Weather
Had legs just as long as forever
She sizzled so hot
She'd burn up the spot
And knock the boys down with a feather



Her Girl Hunt Ballet in Band Wagon
Gets every wolf's tail to start waggin'
You'll never forget
Her film noir brunette
There's Cyd and all else is foot draggin'




The clips above are from Band Wagon with Fred Astaire, and Singin' In The Rain with Gene Kelly. And here's a link to Charisse turning up the heat in and as Nicholas Ray's Party Girl.
