Fred & Ginger's Movie Magic:
Sandcastle V.I. - The Ventures, TV SciFi, Spacelight, Naval History, Auto Racing, Tropical Islands, Graphics Art, and Much More! Fred Astaire was born in Omaha, Nebraska on May 10, 1899. He studied dancing from the age of 4, and in 1906 formed a popular vaudeville act with his sister Adele. Moving on to Broadway in 1917, Fred and Adele achieved international acclaim with stage hits that included For Goodness Sake (1922), Funny Face (1927), and The Bandwagon (1931). His first film role was a small dancing part in 1933's Dancing Lady. Later that year he made his first appearance with Ginger Rogers in the musical comedy Flying Down to Rio. That was the first of 10 films they would make together. The Encyclopedia Britannica notes that "The sophisticated, intimate style, the grace and technical excellence, and the integration of plot and music in the Rogers-Astaire films revolutionized the musical comedy." After 1939's The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle, Fred continued to make films with such other leading ladies as Joan Fontaine, Eleanor Powell, Paulette Goddard, and Rita Hayworth. But none of these fine actresses could match the dancing grace or on-screen charm of Ginger Rogers. Fred retired in 1946, but was soon back to work on 1948's Easter Parade with Judy Garland. Fred and Ginger got together one last time in 1949's The Barkleys of Broadway. He went on to make a number of other popular musicals, including Daddy Long Legs (1955) with Leslie Caron, Funny Face with Audrey Hepburn, and Silk Stockings with Cyd Charisse (both 1957). His later films were in more dramatic roles and included On the Beach (1959), Towering Inferno (1974), and Ghost Story (1981), his last film. Fred was awarded a special Academy Award for his contribution to musical film in 1949, and also won several Emmy Awards for various television specials. Fred also appeared in an episode of the cult-favorite science fiction series Battlestar Galactica, as Starbuck's "long-lost father." Fred Astaire died in 1987 at the age of 88 ...
