#BTD in 1899, Frederick Austerlitz aka FRED ASTAIRE. According to peers and professionals, Astaire is considered the most influential dancer in the history of film. In 1970 Astaire was enticed to improvise a routine on the Academy Awards broadcast. He was 70 at the time.
While in Kansas City, I met the artist TSmith, who did some of the original artwork for Batman The Animated series 27 yrs ago. He surprised me with this incredible sketch of me and my alter ego! Thank you so much.
