Dead Person Watch: Cyd Charisse

I must apologise on several fronts. First, the paucity of recent post has been due to several rather challenging events on the personal front (don't ask, I'm not going to bore you with the details) that have depleted my time and reduced my energy levels. Second, today's post is yet another YouTube clip (these things become shiny in the seat of the trousers very quickly) and third, today's topic is about another unfortunate demise -sometimes I think this site specialises in obituaries, but then I would be remiss to not remark on the passing of the totally wonderful Cyd Charisse who is now dancing in the clouds. And if you are not convinced of her talent by the above excerpt from On an Island with You take a look at this exquisite piece from Silk Stockings.
