Cyd Charisse, who was born Tula Ellice Finklea, would have celebrated a birthday today.  This image gallery is in tribute to her style and elegance as she graced the silver screen and won our hearts in countless classic musicals during the golden age of Hollywood.  A unique talent, mesmerizing to look at.
