DONALD
O'CONNOR
Donald
O'Connor was a teenage Swing Dance star in a
series of "B" movies for Universal in the
1940's.
By
the 1950's, he had really hit his stride,
winning a Golden Globe for his role in
"Singin' in the Rain."
We
have a trio of great Donald O'Connor
routines for you to look at ...
... just as soon as you look at
today's website items:
In
1952, the same year as "Singin' in the
Rain," Donald O'Connor burned up the floor
on "The Colgate Comediy Hour" with this
sizzling rendition of "Fascinating Rhythm":
Yesterday,
we showed you Donald O'Connor's balloon
routine from "Call Me Madam." Today,
he trades balloons for Vera Ellen, in this
romantic 1953 duet, "Something to Dance
About."
In 1954's "There's No Business Like Show
Business,"" Donald O'Connor is smitten with
Marilyn Monroe. (Could there be a
less-likely pair?)
Nonetheless,
he charmingly sings and dances about this
romance with some very talented statuary in
"A Man Chases a Girl":
