A video tribute to the great fred astaire who made everyone he danced with look good even a hat rack.
Fred astaire awning hat.
Royal wedding 1951 it never ceases to amaze me how a great dancer like fred astaire can take the simplest prop and do something magical with it.
This is from the film royal wedding.
One signature part of fred s act was the frequency with which he wore a tuxedo and top hat even though the down to earth performer didn t feel like the look should define him.
During shooting astaire ever the unforgiving perfectionist was continually breaking his canes in frustration at his mistakes which concerned the crew that he was running out of them.
