Fred Astaire (born Frederick Austerlitz; May 10, 1899 – June 22,
1987) was an American film and Broadway stage dancer, choreographer, singer
and actor. His stage and subsequent film career spanned a total of
seventy-six years, during which he made thirty-one musical films. He is
particularly associated with Ginger Rogers, with whom he made ten films.
According to another major innovator in filmed dance, Gene Kelly, "The
history of dance on film begins with Astaire." Beyond film and television,
many classical dancers and choreographers, Nureyev and Robbins among them,
also acknowledged his importance and influence.
He was named the fifth Greatest Male Star of All Time by the American Film
Institute.
