Hardback edition - A BIOGRAPHICAL COLLECTION OF 2000 QUOTES ABOUT THE WORLD’S GREATEST DANCER: FRED ASTAIRE - Name another dancer, from any era, whose dance career (on stage, film or TV) who could sustain such a book as this. The astonishing fact is not that there are 2000 specially chosen quotations by and about Fred Astaire, but that so many of these ‘quotributes’ come from peers and those performers that danced with him or were inspired by him. That is the true test of the epithet ‘greatest.’ The emphasis of the 2000 quotations is firmly on his musical performances rather than his straight acting abilities or on his private life. “THE QUOTABLE FRED ASTAIRE” follows Fred’s frequently overlooked stage career: beginning as a 6-year-old in 1906 with sister Adele; runs through all his movie musicals with partners like Ginger Rogers, Cyd Charisse & Ann Miller and concludes with his TV specials in the 1960s.
