    Eleanor Powell dancing with Fred Astaire "Begin the Beguine" is a pleasure without end. So gracious, talented and beautiful.

    My very old father told me about her awhile back and I bought a couple of old classic films with her in it. As previously mentioned one with Fred Astaire. She seriously upstaged him with her dance and that's a lot to be said. Hence the reason why he wouldn't make another film with her. Not speaking poorly of Ginger Rogers but she couldn't hold a candle to Eleanor Powell. God Bless her soul.

    If you're interested to know more about her life, there's a brand new biography released in August 2023 from University Press of Kentucky titled "Eleanor Powell: Born to Dance". It's available on Amazon.

    Eleanor was a better dancer than Fred, as Fred once told Peter Ford. Eleanor wanted to make another film with Fred, but he wouldn't do it.

      I had to stop listening as well because of the serious mispronunciation. These words and names are common knowledge. And when words end in “-ing-“ the g should be pronounced. Getting these things corrected will definitely make you sound more professional, Mr narrator.
