Cyd Charisse Tribute

The "Dancing in the Dark" park dance scene with Fred Astaire and Cyd in The Band Wagon is the most awesome piece of movie making ever. They never spoke a word and hardly touched yet it was charged with romance, grace and beauty like nothing before or since. It makes me catch my breath and brings a tear to my eyes everytime I watch it. Cyd, I wish I had known you!

My memory is of Cyd Charisse in her lovely films. I used to train as a dancer when I was young but never continued with it after reaching teen years. One thing I am ure I heard was that Fred Astaire much preferred to dance with her than with Ginger. I loved Ginger but Cyd was so graceful. My she continue her dancing now she is in heaven.

I was born in the early 30's and my uncle was a movie projectionist, so I was able to see all of the movies, especially the musicals of the 40's. Cyd Charisse was one of my most favorite people and I particuarly remember her in "Silk Stockings." I also remember her husband Tony Martin well. She danced and he sang, what a beautiful couple! I felt absolutely sick when I heard of her death. She and her husband were also just very good people. What a loss!

I raise horses. One of my mares just had the most beautiful filly with long correct legs. In trying to think of a great name for her I thought of Ms. Charisse with her very long beautiful legs and bingo...her registered name is Cyd Charisse...in honor of another long leged beauty. May she rest in peace.

My memories of Ms. Charrise were at the age of 12/13 years old. This is when I first saw Ms. Charrise in the movie "Singing in the Rain". This is my all time favorite although I love all old black/white and old color movies I raised my four children on these movies and to this day they still love to see them. I just found out just this moment after watching "Singing in the Rain", that it was a tribute to the late "Cyd Charrise". I immediately got on the internet to see if it was true, to my dismay it was. I will always Cherish the memories of watching the old movies of the beautiful times back then. Just wish I could have been born sooner, to hav lived in the moment. I am one of the few that have named a daughter after Ms. Charrise, (Nikolette Cherise-Niko for short). I think this is the greatest tribute I could have given my favorite beautiful dancer. I will forever be grateful to Ms. Charrise and her family to have given us the opportunity to watch, admire, and forever love Ms. Cyd Charrise on the big screen. My Heart and Soul sympathy go out to Mr. Martin and there sons at this beautiful time that she is watching, waiting and Dancing for the Lord in Heaven with wings, when we will all be able to see her gracefully dance for all again.
May the Lord Bless you at this time in sadness and need for the warmth of her laughter. Remember she will always be in your hearts and in our eyes to see. God Bless you and keep you in his hands of Mercy. Thank You Love always, Juanita in Coachella, CA

THank God for movies - she will never be forgotten.
