I liked the Fred Astaire part of the story - one of the few people in Hollywood who seemed like a genuinely nice guy:

I always like Fred Astaire better than Gene Kelly. I don’t know why for sure. They always mention the “athleticism” of Gene Kelly and I don’t disagree with that. Last night I watched Astaire in Daddy Long Legs bounce drum sticks off the floor during one of his dance numbers. I just liked him better.
