The Great "Hoofers" are all gone

[Ladskater]

Well with Donald O'Connor now gone it's pretty much the end of the great "Hoofers":

Fred Astaire
Gene Kelly
Donald O'Connor
Ginger Rogers
Buddy Ebson
Ray Bolger

 

[Flora MacDonald]

Ann Miller is still around. Debbie Reynolds and Shirley MacLaine can shake a leg with the best of them.

 

[Ladskater]

That's good to hear.

And let's not forget Rita Moreno and Ann Margaret. And then there's Chita Rivera.

And please don't forget Cyd Charisse!

If you should watch "Singin' in the Rain" (and you should), please pay attention to Cyd's appearance in the "Broadway Ballet" number. Notice any resemblance between her character and Catherine Zeta Jones's Velma Kelly in "Chicago"?

I love Cyd Charisse and all of the dancers that everyone mentioned.
