Cyd Charisse dies

Yes, I know this is called Mark's Book Blog, but there's nothing to say I can't mention some of the great DVDs the library has in it's collection.

Yesterday, Cyd Charisse, one of film's most elegant and sophisticated dancers died in LA at the age of 86. This legend worked with such stars as Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire and for such directors as Vincente Minnelli and Arthur Freed. The library owns IT'S ALWAYS FAIR WEATHER, THE BAND WAGON, BRIGADOON and SINGIN' IN THE RAIN. Check these titles out and go back to a time with just a little bit more class and grace.
