Steps in Time
Steps in Time: An Autobiography | Fred Astaire
3 posts | 2 read | 8 to read
One of the foremost entertainers of the twentieth centurysinger, actor, choreographer, and, of course, the most dazzling "hoofer" in the history of motion picturesFred Astaire was the epitome of charm, grace, and suave sophistication, with a style all his own and a complete disregard for the laws of gravity. Steps in Time is Astaire's story in his own words, a memoir as beguiling, exuberant, and enthralling as the great artist himself, the man ballet legends George Balanchine and Rudolf Nureyev cited as, hands down, the century's greatest dancer. From his debut in vaudeville at age six through his remarkable career as the star of many of the most popular Hollywood musicals ever captured on celluloid, Steps in Time celebrates the golden age of entertainment and its royalty, as seen through the eyes of the era's affable and adored prince. Illustrated with more than forty rare photographs from the author's personal collection, here is Astaire in all his debonair gloryhis life, his times, his movies, and, above all, his magical screen appearances and enduring friendship with the most beloved of all his dancing partners, Ginger Rogers.

I finally finished this book! It took forever for me to read this one. I can't say I didn't enjoy it. I love Fred Astaire! His musicals have always been my favorite. Hearing about his career and personal life in his own words was fascinating. Still, I'm not one for non-fiction. I feel like if I enjoyed the genre more it would've gotten more stars from me. ⭐⭐⭐

Spend way too much time waiting in the car- always have a book on hand. This is the latest.

SusanInTiburon I leave a book in each car, just in case. 🤓 8y
Keegz63 @Susanintiburon Same here, except I have one in the front seat and two in the "Way back" just in case. My iPad in my backpack, and an audiobook on my phone still doesn't relieve the anxiety of being stuck somewhere with nothing to read! 8y
SusanInTiburon @Keegz63 Devices are not enough cuz you could get stuck somewhere and run out of power. Or your bag could get stolen. 8y
