Who Was Fred Astair's Straight Man?

[Scotticher]

Okay, I was fairly sure that in “Springtime In The Rockies” EEH got the girl. I just googled it, and I am now more sure than I was. I think he got Carmen Miranda, who would be quite a handful anyway you look at it.

I think there were other movies where he “got the girl” as well, but I’ll have to think about it some more.

Not that this means anything, one way or the other. He was quite gifted, and that is all that matters.

As far as the Astaire-Rogers RKOs go, this str8 guy has the impression that pretty much every male involved but Fred and the composers had t3h gh3y, and I’m not totally sure on Fred.

Translation please?

Happy to be of service!

As for the the movies produced by the original RKO Pictures that starred Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, I, a heterosexual male, was given to believe all of the men acting in or in a production capacity with the films, with the exception of Mr Astaire and the composers, [del]had t3h gh3y[/del] were of a homosexual bend, though I am not convinced of Mr Astaire’s heterosexuality.

For my money, I am, but note that one of the composers whose songs he sang and danced to during his RKO period was Cole Porter, who was as gh3y as a tree full of parrots.
