A Million Tributes To Cyd Charisse Today



This assemblage of still photos is very affecting. And then all the other outtakes from her movies too!

According to Wikipedia:
She was a sickly girl who started dancing lessons to build up her strength after a bout with polio. At 14 she auditioned for and studied ballet in Los Angeles with Adolph Bolm and Bronislawa Nijinska, and subsequently danced in the Ballet Russes as "Celia Siderova" and, later, "Maria Istromena".
Long live the Ballet Russes!
