  • Cyd Charisse was an American actress and dancer.
    After recovering from polio as a child and studying ballet, Charisse entered films in the 1940s. Her roles usually featured her abilities as a dancer, and she was paired with Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly; her films include Singin' in the Rain , The Band Wagon , Brigadoon with Gene Kelly and Van Johnson and Silk Stockings . She stopped dancing in films in the late 1950s, but continued acting in film and television, and in 1991 made her Broadway debut. In her later years, she discussed the history of the Hollywood musical in documentaries, and was featured in That's Entertainment! III in 1994. She was awarded the National Medal of the Arts and Humanities in 2006.
    Early life
    Cyd Charisse was born Tula Ellice Finklea in Amarillo, Texas, the daughter of Lela and Ernest Enos Finklea, Sr., who was a jeweler. Her nickname "Sid" was taken from her older brother Ernest E. Finklea jr., who tried to say "Sis". It was later given the spelling of "Cyd" by Arthur Freed.

    I can't believe she's got polio once,maybe ballet lessons helped her to strengthen her immunities and develop her grace and flexibilities. She was an extraordinary dancer,full of grace, beauty and natural charms

    Great. You got an AI bot to read a Wiki page and the same 9 photos rolling over and over again...
    Cyd Charrise deserves better.
    Show a little class.

    Annoyingly flat AI narrator, and photos don't match narration. Won't get a "like" from me.
