The Greatest Legs Ever passed on to that great stage in the sky
Cyd Charisse passed away today in her home. She was 87 years old.
I'm not big into musicals, never have been, but I first saw Charisse as a kid in the skit she did as part of Singing in the Rain - and I have to say, I went through puberty then. By all accounts, an extraordinarily classy woman, Charisse exuded sex appeal.
Just as famous for her screen presence as her legs that stretched from New York to Idaho, Cherise was honored by Fred Astaire in his autobiography with the following line, "That Cyd! When you've danced with her you stay danced with."

Rest in peace.
