Whatever. You. Want!

 Gwen Verdon (with the flower...I know, WHAT flower?)
and Tab Hunter
in the movie version of Damn Yankees.
She'll get "Whatever Lola Wants" on Sunday...




 In The Bandwagon,
Fred Astaire got to dance with Cyd Charisse (above)
and this great dancer below...Leroy Daniels
(in the Hawaiian shirt!), who was paired up with Fred
for a wild "Shine On Your Shoes".


 The Bandwagon gang:
Jack Buchanan, Nanette Fabray, Oscar Levant (front and center),
and Fred, of course.

 Stanley Holloway
as Alfred P. Doolittle,
above with beer.
Below, with Robert Coote and Rex Harrison
in the Broadway production of My Fair Lady, 1956.



 Popular in the UK prior to "Lady"
as a humorist and character actor,
the role of Alfred (in the Broadway, West End, and movie versions)
brought Stanley a Tony "nod", an Oscar,
and Stardom (with a capital S)!
