A light blinks out

I was truly saddened to read that Cyd Charisse has died.  She was a wonderful star of the Golden Age of MGM musicals, whether playing the lovely ballerina in Band Wagon, the dancing gangster’s moll in Singing in the Rain, the Russian commisar in Silk Stockings, or any of the other roles, large and small, that she made her own.  They certainly don’t make them like that anymore — a classy, gorgeous, fantastic dancer.
