    Makes me think of my nephew who was just here for Christmas; just a little 🙂

        Oh yes….and an actor too, of course.

    It is funny how his singing and dancing left him so underestimated as an actor. Because he was wonderful at that too.

      Ten years old watching a screening of An American in Paris, and something dawned on me — oh my, is it warm in here???

        *smiling*

        had a similar experience with this one – and a lifetime’s obsession with chandeliers, queens, cross-dressing, pearls, nightclub-people, living-in-5-star hotels, and PARIS 😉

    Now, he is “beguiling!” Handsome, dark~ there is a bit of a J Depp quality to him (at least in this shot).

    I’ve always preferred him to Fred A. He really is more of an actor, and I’m just so not into dancers 😉
