"In essence, the conservative person is simply one who finds the permanent things more pleasing than Chaos and Old Night. (Yet conservatives know, with Burke, that healthy 'change is the means of our preservation.')" -Russell Kirk

Cyd Charisse, +Requiescat in Pace
Actress, Dancer, Classic Hollywood Beauty! She passed away today at Cedar Sinai, apparently of a heart attack. She was 86, and still looked as stunningly beautiful as ever.
Among her most memorable moments: Dancing with Fred Astaire in The Band Wagon and Gene Kelly in Singin' in the Rain
One of the most remarkable things about her: She remained married to the same man for 60 years! Rare in Hollywood, and as it's turning out, everywhere else as well.
As a boy, I watched a lot of classic movies, and I must say, when I saw her in Singin' in the Rain and The Band Wagon, I had an instant crush on her.
A true class-act!
+Requiem aeternam dona eae, Domine, et lux perpetuam luceat eae.
+Requiescat in Pace.
May her memory be eternal!!!!
