Extension 720 Audio Archives, November 2008

It was seventy-five years ago that the on-screen partnership of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers began. Our guest on this program thought this a good time to examine the life of one of America's most beloved performers, Fred Astaire. Joseph Epstein, an old friend of the program and an incredibly talented writer, has just finished his biography (aptly titled Fred Astaire) and provides us a window into his life, personality, and accomplishments. Join us for a great night with one of our favorite guests...and recorded musical highlights of Astaire singing (and dancing!). (11/10/2008)
