“When you dance with her, you stay danced with.” - Fred Astaire
Cyd Charisse (born Tula Ellice Finklea, 8th March 1921 – 17th June 2008)
CAMP: "A cornucopia of frivolity, incongruity, theatricality, and humour." "A deadly, winking, sniggering, snuggling, chromium-plated, scent-impregnated, luminous, quivering, giggling, fruit-flavored, mincing, ice-covered heap of mother love." "The lie that tells the truth." "Ostentatious, exaggerated, affected, theatrical; effeminate or homosexual; pertaining to or characteristic of homosexuals."

Diana Vreeland said in her book "DV" that she never had to retouch Cyd Charisse's legsin photos because they "already looked retouched". They do, don't they?

DeleteShe certainly transcended her original name. Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI can't picture how a "Frederick Austerlitz and Tula Finklea" dance routine might work in Hollywood... Jx
