Very nice. Back when people knew how to dance.

And how to dress. I'm totally digging George's double breasted suit!

Nice. But I don't get the 'wisk brooms'.

For a while stars earned their pay it seems. Today, not so much so.

This is back when talent would sign with studios. The studios would invest in them and develop the talent. They would begin as bit parts or in small roles and grow into a larger presence and career.

Now, everyone is an instant star. Most have little talent.

GEEZER ALERT!!! GEEZER ALERT!!!

It’s 2020 KF! Go invent a time machine so you can go back to where you belong. I love your news reporting and analysis, but the arts and culture section of your blog leaves a lot to be desired. Just providing honest feedback, don’t shoot the messenger.

I'm fixin to glue some coins to the bottom of my shoes.

Many of the old stars got their start on the stage, Broadway, Vaudeville, etc. They were not a product of cinematic production. However many were not. There is still great talent around now, but since we have so much technology and modern production, talent can be replaced by glitz. Whatever makes a buck.

9:02 would rather see a twerking 18 year old or a fabricated hoodlum descending from a 20 story building to blast a Cadillac to smithereens with guns attached to his boots.

You have seen the messenger, 9:02, and it ain't you. Your only job here is to sit this one out.

Most of them these days take a nude selfie in front of a mirror to get and retain an audience....I’m still waiting for Raquel Welch to take a selfie....dang she was hot....along with Erin Gray, Lynda Carter, Barbara Eden, Elizabeth Montgomery, Liz Taylor, Michelle Phillips, Grace Slick, Stevie Nicks....because some of the women these days can’t hold a candle to those

I can't recall his name, but you can find him on YouTube by searching for "dubstep". Different era, but he has close to Astaire talent.

KF has a varied audience. We're not all 300-pound incels filled with rage at the world.

Pure class.

Something that is not bought.

You either have it, or you don't.

I must admit to not having known George Burns could do that. Thanks.

too cool!!

Fred Astaire was a true freak of nature. Nobody even comes close.

Fred Astaire's charisma was off the charts, but dancers like him are a dime-a-dozen as far as talent goes. He had the extra it takes to make it big. New York, L.A., Chicago, and a host of other cities have dancers of that caliber all over the place, they do not have the IT factor, and the market for that is pretty much gone.

I'm waiting for the twerking fad to go away, ASAP! It only belongs in a strip club.
