Cyd Charisse, a former co-star of Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly, has died in Los Angeles aged 86, her publicist says.
The actress-dancer from Texas died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after suffering an apparent heart attack on Monday, Gene Schwam said.
The long-legged star appeared in a number of films, but her fame came from the musicals of the 1940s and 1950s.
She sang and danced with legends Gene Kelly in Singin’ in the Rain, and Fred Astaire in Silk Stockings.

“There are hundreds of WordPress Plugin posts on the web. Each explaining a few “must have” plugins you should install and use on your blog.
I have always been very big into plugins, but only if they really helped my site perform better in social media, SEO, or making my life as a webmaster easier.”

From the page: “When Fark has the ability to send hundreds of thousands of visitors to a site every single month, I’m surprised that more people haven’t written about how to leverage traffic from the site. Perhaps the main reason is that people don’t understand Fark or that it isn’t really a ‘news voting’ community. Nevertheless, there are ways to leverage traffic (lots) from the site that I’m going to show you today. “
