fun to see Gracie dancing; in these old films or their TV show, we usually see her being the dingbat comic, providing a wisecrack reply to some serious question from George.

I don't think she was a dancer per se; at least I'd never heard of her dancing. Still, she handled herself well doing the turntable dance; first with both George and Fred; then with just Fred; and finally alone. It couldn't have been easy especially since she's on a moving, elevated stage the entire time. I was so impressed. That alone was worth watching.

She and her sisters were all dancers from childhood, though she never pursued it as much as her sisters did, for obvious reasons. She thought it nothing short of a miracle that (by her own admission) the worst dancer in her family got the chance to dance with Fred Astaire.
