It was just on my local news that Cyd passed away last night.

I know a great deal or all of us here saw her in a number of musicals where she showed off her incredible dacing skills. Most notably "Singing In The Rain" & "It's Always Fair Weather",with the great Gene Kelly.

I also recall one of the last times I saw her in something music related. She had a brief but memorable cameo appearence in Janet Jackson's "Alright" video from 1990. Which also featured greats like Cab Calloway & the Nicholas Brothers.

Rest in peace to another of the wonderful performers of the Golden Age of Hollywood.
