Oscar winner and 5 time Tony Winner, great American choreographer Michael Kidd, who created the dances for many spectacular screen musicals like "Where's Charlie?" (1952), "The Band Wagon" (1953), "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" (1954), "Guys and Dolls" (1955), "Lil Abner" (1959), "Star!" (1968), and "Hello, Dolly!" (1969) died Sunday, in his home in California. He was 92. After seeing the first dance (Cyd Charisse and Fred Astairre in the utterfly fantastic and not to mention romantic "Dancing in the Dark" number in 1953's "The Band Wagon") by Michael Kidd I was astonished. He is truly, really one of the best Hollywood and Broadway choregoraphers ever! Rest in peace, Michael. I wonder if they do "shows" in heaven, Michael Kidd could collaborate with Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire and make one heavenly masterpiece...Tuesday, December 25, 2007
