eerie much?

ok, this officially gives me the creeps...
just yesterday i was doing a little Singing in the Rain research and i was searching for a picture of cyd charisse's crotch-revealing dress and this morning i'm reading her obit! she died yesterday at the ripe old age of 86 of an apparent heart attack.

interesting facts:
~ had a $5 million insurance policy placed on her legs in 1952
~ appeared in 'singing in the rain' with gene kelly and 'the band wagon' with fred astaire whom she called "the two greatest dancing personalities who were ever on the screen."
~ was born with the name Tula Ellice Finklea

as described by astaire, this "beautiful dynamite" will surely be missed.

"Cyd Charisse, 86: Dancer, actress"
