I loved Fred Astaire even though he was way before my time. I did see him in his last movie 🎥 about a female ghost who haunts 4 elderly men. There were other famous iconic actors in this movie besides Astaire. He was also a friend, neighbor & mentor to Michael 🤴🏽😇Jackson

[@TracyAdams-ry2fc]

Movie was called Ghost Story.

I have 2 fav dancers Astaire and later Barychnikov.

About the photo shown in 0:15, Adele was older and therefore taller than him at that stage of their career, so Fred started wearing top hats to make him look a little taller than his sister.

His second wife was a jockey! 🐎
