She was stunning! No one danced with more elegance than her. What a class act!

@bobgastreichCars71 Год назад

The most beautiful woman in the world. A great actress. She had the best legs in the business.

Yes, yes, yes, and as the expression goes, “ they went all the way up”! She was not only beautiful, but she had the gift of “presence”, moving with the ease of an ice skater gliding across a pond….it is her gift of coordination and grace that makes every motion seem effortless…Fred was a very lucky man to have held her in his arms, as they moved as one in wonderful synchronicity to the orchestra…

People used to talk about Betty Grables legs and the poster of her that the American soldiers collected. But there is no comparison to Cyd’s legs. She was poetry in motion !!! One of a kind!

@pixiestyx1766 Год назад

She moved like a cat... her elegance was second to none. Being a woman of a certain age... I remember her very well. She was mesmerizing.

@Fugettaboutit 11 месяцев назад

Statuesque, elegant, sensual...as a dance duo the overall presentation was mesmerizing. No wonder she was held in such exaltation as a dance partner.

She was mesmerizing in that dance in the park with Fred Astaire and also in Silk Stockings. So beautiful.

@darriendastar3941 Год назад

I know all your stuff is good, but this was *particularly* good. It was just a lovely encapsulation of a lovely person's life and career. I had the good fortune to see Ms Charisse on stage once and even though the ticket had cost me my entire week's food budget (I was a poverty -stricken student at the time), the second she walked on stage I knew I'd made the right decision. Just walking, she had the elegance, beauty, grace and strength that made her a wonder of the world. She reminded me of Margot Fonteyn. The women daners of that time had a certainty that just defined a generation and art form.

@bettycurry6752 11 месяцев назад

A truly lovely lady and so talented….loved her….saw her in person at dinner theatre in my home town years ago and watch movies in which she starred as often as I can…thanks for this so much….👍💝

You put together a very fine bio, thank you. She is my favorite female dancer. My late mother strongly resembled her. “Dancing in the Dark” is sublime.

@abevillanueva1974 11 месяцев назад

A very shy person that emoted through dance like no other! Cyd was a most beautiful, talented, graceful, and athletic dancer! Her height was actually closer to 5'8; bending her knees when standing next to her partners. A bucket list of mine in Heaven to so have a simple waltz with Cyd Charisse!

@xamyx725 2 месяца назад

She was closer to 5’6”… She frequented the restaurant I worked at back in 2006. I’m 5’3”ish, and she was just a bit taller than me…

Her solo dance in the title "Silk Stockings" is my favorite dance scene. By any dancer. She says so much without saying a word. A moving painting.

@luvmuzik4me 11 месяцев назад

You didn't mention her best dance roles in "Meet Me in Las Vegas". The Frankie & Johnnie number along with the take on Sleeping Beauty are the best ballets seen anywhere in film.

A better title might have been, "Why wouldn't someone want Cyd Charisse as a dance partner"? Fear of being overshadowed?

@gogoyubari366 11 месяцев назад

@pbasswil 11 месяцев назад

Funny, this emphasis on her legs: they're certainly lovely, but imho, slightly to the skinny side of shapely... I think it was her lithe and graceful way of dancing that made the utmost of her slim, toned figure.

@KikiTheWitch. I believe many who worked with her said she was 5'5-1/2 which seems more likely. While strolling with Fred in a scene from 'The Bandwagon'...she's in flats and Fred appears at 5'9 quite taller than her.

Fantastic dancer who could do sultry and balletic. Like Esther Williams, her acting skills were not up to her physical talent. She said that herself. Those legs!

My father ( a pro dancer and actor in Hollywood) loved dancing with her at the clubs in LA back in the day. I saw her once in Vegas when I was a kid but couldn't get in the main show. She had no problems dancing nude for the right audience. Bet you didn't know that >>> .

I have two left feet but if I could dance it would have to be with Cyd, to me she's undoubtedly the most alluring dancer there was.

@Eyes-of-Horus 11 месяцев назад

Actually, in an interview with Dick Cavett many years ago, Fred Astaire said he loved dancing with Rita Hayworth. She was trained in dance since she could walk. She was very easy to work with. This takes nothing from Cyd Charisse. She was excellent as a dancer being trained in ballet. You did say "everyone."
