In STARRING FRED ASTAIRE, writer Stanley Green and designer Burt Goldblatt have collaborated on the first complete text-and-photo book dealing with the career of the most acclaimed dancer ever to appear on stage and screen. Emphasizing Astaire's remarkable contribution to the musical film in the 35 movies he made over a period of 36 years, the book gives the backgrounds and behind-the-scenes stories of all his Broadway, London and Hollywood productions, plus complete cast and credit listings, plot outlines, excerpts from dialogue and song lyrics, newspaper reviews, and a full appraisal of the dancer's unique art. Over 800 photographs, many from the private collections of both Fred and Adele Astaire, bring every one of Fred's memorable dance creations to life as they sow him with all his leading ladies: Adele Astaire (in their ten stage musicals), Claire Luce, Joan Crawford, Ginger Rogers (in all of their memorable films), Joan Fontaine, Eleanor Powell, Paulette Goddard, Rita Hayworth, Joan Leslie, Marjorie Reynolds, Lucille Bremer, Vera-Ellen, Judy Garland, Ann Miller, Betty Hutton, Jane Powell, Cyd Charisse, Leslie Caron and Audrey Hepburn. In, STARRING FRED ASTAIRE contains a complete discography compiled by Howard Levine, a section devoted to every one of Fred's radio and television appearances, a listing of all the songs written by red Astaire, plus a special career-at-a-glance section showing all stage and screen credits. This is a book that does full and loving justice to the achievement of a man of whom Irving Berlin has written, "His heart was in the music before his feet took over".
