...Jesus Christ Superstar, performed an acrobatic dance routine in Seesaw, and was sawed in half by The Magic Show's Doug Henning, then stuffed into a cage with a 200-lb. cougar. In the current Broadway hit Nine, Morris gives new meaning to the phrase physical-fitness buff. In one number, A Call from the Vatican, she does a feline, erotic exercise for which she is so barely dressed in such sheer black that she has worn through three costumes in six weeks.

...seems a match made in the winner's circle: Astaire is a longtime turf buff who once owned a stable of thoroughbreds and still reads the Daily Racing Form. Not for him the idle reveries of days and dances gone by. He never watches his old films, and shudders to think that they are among the most popular Late Show offerings.
