If you could upload the other Fred Astaire color tv specials, An evening with Fred Astaire 1958, Another Evening 1959, and the Fred Astaire show 1968, I’d be very grateful.
The identical twins in the mirror sketch were 24 y.o. Ruth and Jane Earl from Ames, Iowa. Trained by Eugene Loring, they were discovered by Hermes Pan, whom they said kickstarted their career of more than ten years. They were befriended by Buster Keaton and ran with Sinatra's Rat Pack; Ruth married Henry Silva. Jane was the one who got the dialogue in this scene, which she said was their proudest memory- hoofing with Number One.
Anything more
