Cyd Charisse, the long-legged Texas beauty who danced with the Ballet Russe as a teenager and starred in MGM musicals with Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly, died Tuesday. She was 86.
Unbelievably gorgeous and elegant. One of my first celebrity idols, I wished there was some way to grown up to be her. As I grew older, I watched as she seemed not to. She maintained her looks, her style, her grace.
