R.I.P. Cyd Charisse
By Ann Magnuson
Even in the remote mountains of West Virginia we eventually hear the news and this news is sad indeed. Cyd Charisse, one of the most golden of the golden gals from Hollywood's Golden Age, passed away yesterday morning. This amazing dancer and star of yesteryear will thankfully live forever in movies like Singin' in the Rain. Here she is with Gene Kelly in what might be my favorite slice of celluloid. This number continues to amaze and I get goosebumps every time I see it (and I've seen it HUNDREDS of times!) Rest in peace Cyd. You were a SUPERSTAR (with SUPER STELLAR GAMS!!!!)

All I can say is WOW!
If there is anyone out there now with even half that package, I don't know about 'em.
And to think a large portion of the populace spend time watching "Dancing with the Stars".
Guffah!

Ann, you're right - Cyd was too fabulous - and Gene ain't so bad either!
