Sophisticated and Lovely Cyd Charisse Dies At age 86

Posted by Bacall on Jun 19, 2008 in 40's-50's |

Cyd Charisse dancer and actress passed away Tuesday, June 17 at age 86 from a heart attack.

Cyd Charisse was said to have changed dancing in Hollywood with her sensual looks and moves. She was to dance what Marilyn Monroe was to movies so to speak. I loved her most in “Singin in the Rain,” opposite gorgeous Gene Kelly. How can we ever forget the “steamy” ballet scene in the film with her and Kelly?

All the good ones are leaving us, how sad…. Rest in peace.

Hi I saw a link to your blog on Facebook (Classic movie group). I loved Cyd’s dancing she was amazing. My favorite is the Frankie and Johnny scene from Meet Me in Las Vegas
