...think sex in a movie is boring," Nichols says, "just as a scene of someone eating dinner is not that interesting" His own favorite sex scenes tend to the suggestive. "Rita Hayworth shaking off that long glove in 'Gilda' is still as sexy as it gets in movies. The (famous) scene in 'Basic Instinct,' of Sharon Stone crossing and uncrossing her legs, is very sexy and very funny, primarily because it's about control and power. To me the sexiest thing I've ever seen is in 'Repulsion,' when Catherine Deneuve is lying on the bed and her sister...
...high end, Mikhail Baryshnikov hailed him as the dancer of the century, and Jerome Robbins created a ballet in tribute to Astaire's "I'm Old Fashioned" dance with Rita Hayworth. Starchy Teutonic theorist Siegfried Kracauer praised him for injecting realism in Hollywood films by "dancing over table tops and down garden paths into the real world." Kracauer was totally wrong - Astaire didn't bring realism but rather a nonchalant nobility to movies - but it's touching that the nutty professor bent his theory to accommodate a tap dancer he loved...
...When the team split, Astaire kept doing it all on his own. His dancing partners over the next 20 years included some prime enchantresses: Rita Hayworth, Judy Garland, Cyd Charisse, Leslie Caron, Audrey Hepburn, Barrie Chase.

He defied time by dancing in slow motion in "Easter Parade," defied gravity by dancing up walls and across ceilings in "Royal Wedding," defied age by hoofing serenely through his sixth, seventh...
...that was idiocy, blindness - couldn?t the mogul see that Kelly "got-ta dance", that his feet had to do their stuff? Mayer was slow coming around too; Kelly didn?t become a star until he was loaned to Columbia for "Cover Girl," where he was paired with Rita Hayworth and, behind the scenes with an old Broadway pal (actually a young one, since he was 19 at the time), Stanley Donen. Off and on, mostly on, for the next decade, Kelly and Donen would shape their film?s dances, then their dances and direction. They co-directed...
...emphasize the powerful effect of black and white contrast. Although Huene was clearly a great influence on Horst, Huene’s career peaked in the 30s, while Horst continued to photograph well into the 80s. Horst’s photographs are of everyone from Gary Cooper, Rita Hayworth and Steve McQueen to Jacquelin Kennedy, Truman Capote and Calvin Klein. As such, Horst influenced the culture of fashion for over five decades...
