    1. When asked what she would like on her gravestone, Miss Charisse apparently said: "People sometimes had a problem placing her face, but they never forgot her pins."

  5. Tall and beautiful. Her dancing and looks made up for her modest acting skills.

    1. I know! - and she's not alone. Would Steveland Judkins have been so successful had he not been re-named "Stevie Wonder"? Or Maurice Micklewhite (Michael Caine), Issur Danielovitch Demsky (Kirk Douglas), Joyce Frankenberg (Jane Seymour), Natalia Nikolaevna Zacharenko (Natalie Wood) and Virginia Katherine McMath (Ginger Rogers)..?
