So! We continue our look at the greats! We’ll be taking a closer look at the 1957 movie “FUNNY FACE” for a week or so. Today’s video of the day is of Kay Thompson and Audrey Hepburn performing “On how to be lovely”…it is one of my favourite performances of the movie, but, that said…we havn’t got to Astaire yet! I have to add though. Kay Thompson, who plays the Vogue editor in the movie was the MGM coach…she taught Judy Garland, and staged Astaire and many of the greats. In fact I have to say, that she was such a professional that I feel that if she was asked to under perform to make the star look better…that she would do it. I think that in this performance, that is the case.

People love to ask me “what type of music do you listen to?” or “Who inspires you?” and when I usually give my answers, people generally don’t have a clue about who i’m talking about…unfortunetly…usually the greatest artists of all time! Obviously, although nobody told you, you generally like the music that is marketed to you at a particular point in History. Music and entertainment are used to divide as well as bring together. So, you might think “17 year rock lover” or “Fashion ripped jeans lover”, that it’s your own statement of individuality…but think twice! A 17 year old “rock” music lover would never dream of listening to his father’s Sinatra collection and visa versa. The father would look to Manson as bad, violent and a destructive influence…forgetting that his own father probably said the same thing about his Elvis obsession! You probably do not enjoy great music…only great music that has been marketed to you in your lifetime. Think about this; a teenager today should enjoy any type of music that ANY teenager in History has previouly enjoyed. From 500 years ago, to a million years ago, to top of the pops last week. An amazing piece stands for ever. What would make a young teenager today hate the music that he would have loved if he was living a few years earlier? And that’s my point…think about it if you get the chance…it’s a big one. Anyway, i’m going to introduce some great entertainers that you might not of heard of and some greats that you might…from all over the place, and all time periods. One great a day. one video a day, some of the greatest entertainers in History…my teachers, real genius.

Today let’s start with a great 1956 Hollywood movie “FUNNY FACE“, staring Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire. I think that I fall in love with Audrey everytime I see her on the screen, especially in the bookstore scene waffling about her philosophical ideas! Hepburn trained as a Ballet dancer…danced in a chorus. After she danced she was so beautiful that they whisked her off to Hollywood. Possibly too tall to be a “real” ballet dancer, she has a kind of “neatness” and if you look closely really nice Port de bras. We will be delving into “FUNNY FACE” and ASTAIRE but you can’t mention the movie without mentioning KAY THOMPSON, who plays the “Vogue” editor. It was probably Astaire who insited that she be included, and if you don’t know who she is…you will when i’ve finished with you! A Hollywood genius, she staged many of Astaires and Hepburns choreographical wonders which we will be taking a closer look at.

VIDEO OF THE DAY - “Audrey’s self expression dance”

Todays “video of the day” is Hepburn’s “self expression” performance in the french club…so beautiful. You might want to take a listen to what she’s saying too! Enjoy!
