May 8, 2018 · During the 1940s and 1950s Astaire appeared in several outstanding musical films produced by the celebrated Freed unit at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, including the highly self-reflexive The Band Wagon (the title of the last show Fred and Adele starred in on Broadway in 1931), constructed as a stirring reassertion of Astaire's value as an entertainer in a world losing its glamour.
Fred Astaire died in 1987 from pneumonia, at the age of 88. With his passing, the world lost a true dancing legend. His effortless lightness and grace may never be seen again.

In der Filmsatire Ginger und Fred von Federico Fellini aus dem Jahr 1986, in der das überkommerzialisierte Fernsehshow-Geschäft parodiert wird, spielt ein in die Jahre gekommenes Tanzpaar die Hauptrolle (dargestellt von Giulietta Masina und Marcello Mastroianni), das in jungen Jahren als Rogers-Astaire-Imitate durch Nachahmungen von deren Stepptänzen Karriere gemacht hat.
