Cyd Charisse & Ricardo Montalban – Bar dance
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Wow!
She’s hot.
And a fabulous dancer.
What a dame, as they used to say in the movies…
And Montalban was very talented. Far more talented than what most people seem remember of him in Star Trek II Wrath of Ahab…er .. I mean Khan.
One of the great beauties, and great dancers, of the age.
Montalban and Charisse were in four movies together and danced together in the first three of these – Fiesta, On an Island with You and The Kissing Bandit. The last of these was a Frank Sinatra-Kathryn Grayson picture in which there is the delightful specialty number ‘Dance of Fury’ in which Charisse and Ann Miller play two senoritas fighting over Montalban. A lot of the number is a choreographed slap fight between Charisse and Miller employing Spanish fans.
The fourth movie Charisse and Montalban were in was Sombrero, some years after the first three. Both danced in this one, but not with each other. Montalban was coupled with Pier Angeli and Charisse with Rick Jason. Charisse dances an impressive solo number that seems to be a plea to the Old Gods of Mexico for rain. It was choreographed by Hermes Pan who is best known for his choreographic collaborations with Fred Astaire. Charisse co-starred and danced a lot more Hermes Pan choreography with Astaire that same year in The Bandwagon.
I never would have recognized Montalban.
