Description

On this episode of Our American Stories, for Steve Stoliar, working for Dick Cavett meant crossing paths with some of Hollywood’s most legendary names. But nothing compared to the weekend he spent in the company of Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly. They were both older at that point, long past the silver screen, yet their presence carried the same quiet command that had once filled theaters. Over those forty-eight hours, Steve watched how two very different men moved through the world they had shaped. Astaire carried an air of precision and grace, while Kelly brought warmth and strength to everything he did. Together, they represented two halves of the same art form, and for a brief moment, Steve saw what made them timeless.
