Fred Astaire
Dancer and actor; Top Hat, Swing Time, the RKO partnership with Ginger Rogers
"A master of movement with an unyielding artistic vision."
The story so far
Fred Astaire, born Frederick Austerlitz in Omaha, Nebraska, was a dancer, singer and actor whose screen career ran from 1933 into the 1970s. He began in vaudeville as a child act with his sister Adele, then moved to Hollywood, where RKO paired him with Ginger Rogers across ten films between 1933 and 1949. The partnership set the template for the American musical, with Astaire insisting the camera hold the dancer in full figure and in long takes rather than cutting the choreography apart. He worked with Rita Hayworth, Cyd Charisse and Judy Garland in later years and took dramatic roles into old age.
