R.I.P. Cyd Charisse

And here's some sad news..... Movie star and dancer, Cyd Charisse, passed away today at the age of 86. Her publicist said she was admitted to Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles yesterday after she suffered an apparent heart attack.

She was born Tula Ellice Finklea on March 8, 1921. She starred in such films as "Ziegfeld Follies," "Singin' in the Rain," "The Band Wagon," "Brigadoon" and "Silk Stockings." Band Wagon was always one of my favorites. You should definitely NetFlix it if you haven't seen it.

She is survived by her husband of almost 60 years, Tony Martin, and her 2 children.

Rest in peace, Cyd.....

60 years - that's amazing!
My grandparents were married 62 years before my Grandma passed - my grandfather was and is totally lost without her. :(

Wow..they seem to be dying in threes.

What a shame. May God bless her and hope she's dancing her feet away in heaven

One of my favourite dancers. She managed all the sexy without giving up a drop of class.

I think it was Cyd Charisse who Fred Astaire once referred to as his "favorite dance partner."

R.I.P. Cyd..and man oh man she had some LONG LEGS!

That's a hot slut and a classy lady all rolled into one. Hey, she had a good long life and didn't suffer. We all should be so lucky. RIP.

Sadness. And I love all the Follies movies. And Gold Diggers movies too
