Cyd and Rancid

Cyd Charisse, graceful musicals star of the 1950s, has died at the age of 86 of a heart attack. In an era where musicals starred graceful song and dance men and women rather than ex-TV spies and dingo-feeding Aussies, Charisse was a star in such films as Singin’ in the Rain, The Band Wagon and Brigadoon.

Mark will be high-kicking himself, having dropped Cyd after 2004.
