Powell & Astaire

16 Comments on Powell & Astaire

  1. Astaire was a good dancer
    but
    Eleanor Powell was FAR BETTER

    It is well known that when
    Gene Kelly and Astaire where on the same stage
    that Kelly had to tone down his act
    to not make Astaire look bad. FACT

    Astaire ( Friedrich Austerlitz )
    was good but he was no match for the best
    who was Donald O’Connor !

  2. ok, I get it … I admit, Astaire was little better than Sean Spicer on ‘Dancing With The Stars’ … (sarcasm for those that might miss it 😉 )

    I was comparing Rogers to Powell … & not in their abilities, but in their interactions w/ Astaire

    btw, I enjoy them all … today’s so-called ‘dancers’ cannot compare
    (Danny Kaye man, myself … w/ a little Sammy Davis, Jr. thrown in)

    “…she always relied on Astaire to lead …”

    …what’s the old saying?

    Ginger Rogers had to do everything Fred Astare did, but backwards and in high heels…
