    A dancer and musician extroadinare, who charms ladies flawlessly. hide show

    The absolute greatest dancing master who ever lived. Fred could do virtually anything from sing to dance to play instruments, and he made it all look so easy.

    Although he was short and scrawny, andhad one of the worst hairstyles a celebrity could have, his sheer talent and ability to play almost any part more than made up for it. Even after his dancing careers with other star such as Ginger Rogers and Judy Garland had elapsed, he maintained his worth as a dramatic actor in films such as "On The Beach."

    Defintely worth a look any chance you have. There will never be someone like Fred Astaire to touch the world again.
