The essence of cool suave in an every man’s persona, Fred Astaire lit up dozens of enjoyable musicals for a stretch of over twenty years.
His final role in the film adaptation of Peter Straub’s powerful Ghost Story, meanwhile, saw him adding a nice helping of contemplative sorrow to the spooky proceedings.
Of course, this celluloid ease was put to grand display in The Gay Divorcee, one of the classics that he made with Ginger Rogers, his most notable dancing partner. Cole Porter’s Night and Day may have been sung better by others, but it never looked more grandly elegant.
Until the next time, SWEET love and pink GRUE, Big Gay Horror Fan!

Her dress is amazing, and he really rocks those tails, doesn’t he?
Ghost Story, what an atmospheric movie and a fine send off to some fantastic stars.
