Oh, no! RIP, Cyd.
TCM happened to be having Brigadoon on today. She and Tony Martin (who is now 95) had been married since 1948.
To: good old days
Thanks Cyd for all of the great entertainment. They don't make stars like that today. Thanks again.

As a very devoted Gene Kelly fan, I love Singin’ In the Rain...and therefore, really loved Cyd. What a dancer! And she and Gene together...no words for it.

these take the cake.

Dancing in the Dark from THE BANDWAGON is one of the most beautiful dance numbers ever.
It is not just just the old timers that remember her. My three year old son watches THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT, parts one and two constantly. He always asks why she blows smoke in Gene Kelly's face.

So sad! I thought she was younger for some reason.

What an awesome dancer she was. Even more wonderful, considering Hollywood, was the fact that she was married to the same man for 40 years! God Bless her husband; it will be lonely for him.
