1/100 - Fred Astaire
While there’s moonlight and music and love and romance, let’s face the music and dance.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Frederic Austerlitz Jr.
(May 10, 1899 - June 22, 1987)
Once after a dinner party, Gregory Peck and I drove Fred Astaire home. Fred lived in a colonial house that had a long porch with many pillars. When we dropped him off, he danced along the whole front porch, then opened the door, tipped his hat to us, and disappeared. Wow! Greg and I couldn’t speak for a few minutes. It was a beautiful way to say thank you.

Happy birthday Fred Astaire (May 10, 1899 – June 22, 1987 )
Dancing in Tijuana when I was 13—that was my ‘summer camp.’ How else do you think I could keep up with Fred Astaire when I was 19?

What I want to say, Steve, is since I’ve known Tony I’m convinced for the first time that I’m in love.
