beautiful

I thought, at first, whosdatedwho.com said that Cyd Charisse is either English or British.

wjerryzwjerryzAug 14, 2016

Talented dancer and beautiful.

RichardJun 1, 2010

Although he is not on the list I think Gene Kelly had a soft spot for her!

jeannieDec 19, 2008

She was a beauty when she was young, and a very regal lady when she was older. I saw her on TCM with Robert Osborne. Very comfortable with herself.

Beatrice HartJul 8, 2008

What a loss! I`ve enjoyed her films for years and admired her long marriage to my first "movie star idol", singer Tony Martin as soon as I heard "Stranger In Paradise". My prayers are with him and their family.

JackieJun 19, 2008

I would like to know how she looked later in life. Not when she was popular as these photos I`ve seen before when she was at the height of popularity. Kindly put on pics of her as she aged. This would be most interesting to me and others.

Harry LaneJun 18, 2008

I`ve admired Cyd Charisse most of my life, especially as Fiona in Brigadoon; as Fiona, she seemed everything sweet, beautiful, and talented, the perfect Scottish lassie.
