Fred Astaire and Eleanor Powell dancing to Cole Porter's 'Begin the Beguine' was the highlight of 'Broadway Melody', 1940. Narrated by Frank Sinatra. Absolutely smooth! We just don't see talent like this anymore.

From October 18, 1953, former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt appears as a mystery challenger on What's My Line (proving it was very prestigious to be on that show during its heyday).

One of Hollywood's most underrated dancers, the lovely Eleanor Powell, does a difficult tap and hula routine from the movie Honolulu (1939).

Lava's clip of Eleanor Powell reminded me of an old pair of tap shoes that i had as a kid . . Mom got me to take tap dancing lessons . . the only thing i remember were the ribbon laces . . why this would make an impression on me is a mystery . .

This was a program I watched faithfully every day in my pre-kindergarten days. I'm not sure, but I think it was a 15 minute segment at the end of an hour-long program aimed at housewives. It might have been a Los Angeles local show. Any help here?

A newsreel produced by 20th Century Fox, circa 1936, shows their studio's biggest star vacationing in New York and schmoozing with Eleanor Roosevelt at Hyde Park--just what any eight-year-old would do during summer vaction. (This clip has been colorized.)

A few weeks ago I posted the story of the tragic Hartford Circus Fire of 1944. There were 168 fatalities in the blaze. Only six bodies were not identified. One case was particularly poignant. A little girl, whose corpse was unmarked by burns, was unclaimed by relatives. She was known as Little Miss 1565, from the number assigned to her at the city morgue. Her morgue photo was widely distributed--and yet no one came forward to claim her body. She was interred in a Hartford cemetery. Years later reseachers claimed she was Eleanor Emily Cook. She was re-buried in the Cook family plot. However, there are many doubters--and for good reason. Cook was a brunette; Little Miss 1565 was a blonde. From photos, the shape of Cook's face does not match those of Little Miss 1565, an neither do her dental records. Who is she? We'll likely never know. The best guess is that the girl's relatives wrongly identified another corpse, thus denying Little Miss 1565 of her true identity.
