Was cyd charisse the first choice for the lead
I understand she had to turn it down as she was pregnant.
shareI read the same thing. Its funny because the first time I watched the movie and during Leslie Caron's first scene I thought it would have been an amazing scene for Cyd to have danced then I heard she was original up for the role. isn't that funny.
shareI also thought the same thing. The "Embraceable You" sequence of moods would have been killer for Cyd- especially the 'seductive' mood with the chair, and the last 'happy' mood done in full ballet.
