Miss Cyd Charisse
- Nobody had a better pair of gams (legs) or more educated feet than the beautiful Miss Tula Ellice Finklea (Cyd Charisse). That's her with Mr. Gene Kelly just above in the 1952 release of "Singin' In The Rain" (Click Pic Above for video).
When I think of cinema's greatest dancers, Ann Miller, Eleanor Powell, and Cyd Charisse come to mind. As far as I'm concerned, those three were as accomplished as (if not more accomplished than) their male counterparts, and even more importantly, I always found them more exciting to watch. They had great legs, great smiles, and great charm, and each excelled in different dance styles: Miller was exuberant, Powell was acrobatic, and Charisse, who had been trained as a ballerina in the Russian tradition, was both classy and sexy.
She was one of those "stick to it" kinda girls and was married only twice (almost a record for Hollywood). At a very young 17 she ran off with her Ballet instructor (Nico Charisse) got married in 1939 and kept his surname throughout her life. The marriage to Nico lasted until 1947 (eight years) and ended in the proverbial divorce so she could marry TONY MARTIN in 1948.
