It just goes to show how hard it was to survive as a leading lady in Hollywood all those years, that by the 50's Crawford could so easily out-macho Sterling Hayden. As for McCambridge, she was always pretty butch.

Cyd really was the greatest female dancer in Hollywood history, managing to partner Fred and Gene perfectly. Not to mention possessing the greatest pair of legs anyone's ever seen.
It's worth watching Frankie and Johnny with the original music and vocals by Sammy! And while we're at it why not Dancing in the Dark as…

Good lord I think I just had a senior moment or something. Of course that still in the Shipman book is from Ziegfeld Girl starring Martin. So I made a connection to this obit without meaning to.

Wow that's an amazing bit of trivia. Of course to be brutally frank, Martin was also one of the worst Marx Bros. co-stars. Honestly, anyone who can sit through his rendition of the "Tenement Symphony"deserves a prize of some sort. Good lord it's awful.

Married to Cyd Charisse for 60 years!? Talk about burying the lead. Shouldn't leave that till the last sentence. Seems to me that was far and away his most notable achievement.
