    Maybe the lady who was in "Singing in the Rain"? (Fun movie by the way).

    I thought that the Cosmo character was also a good dancer (in a different way) and quite funny.

    She was in that movie.

    But who was she?

              Interesting how she's not frequently considered in the context that Jolly mentioned.

              And yeah, known for her OUTSTANDING gams!

              However, I remember reading (seeing?) a story about how Gene Kelly was considered one of the most "athletic" dancer of his day. Astaire oozed style, and Kelly oozed muscle.

              And Fosse oozed...

                  No guess as to the movie in which Tula Ellice Finklea appeared, but since @Jolly mentioned gams...

                  She was featured in the 2001 Guinness Book of World Records under "Most Valuable Legs", because a $5 million insurance policy was reportedly issued on her legs in 1952..

                  And yeah, she was in "Singin' in the Rain."

                    BTW, her real family nickname was "Sid". Charisse was her married name by her first husband.

                    The studio changed the spelling of her nickname, so Cyd Charisse was closer to her real name than many people think...

                      I'm not aware of ever having heard of her.

                      Education is extremely important.

                        There was a famous Hollywood producer that said Charisse could barely say her lines phonetically, but when she wrapped one of those legs around you during a dance number, it didn't matter whether she could act or not.
