Class Act
Any time I think of Fred Astaire, I smile. He was dapper, debonair, and so talented that I actually believed he could suspend himself in air. Fred hated the dress Ginger wore in this famous scene from Top Hat. Once in a while those ostrich feathers would hit him in the face as they twirled around the dance floor. A true professional, he successfully disguised his annoyance.
