Who was she?
Anybody know who the blonde girl was, who was paired with Cyd Charisse in the "On your toes" number? She must have been a good dancer and was in perfect synchronisation with Cyd throughout.
shareWha-- Cyd Charisse was the blonde girl! She was wearing a wig. Gene Kelly was her partner, fyi.

Please look again. Cyd Charisse was the brunette in the "On Your Toes" scene. I also am wondering who the blonde dancer was. I too noticed how she was in perfect synchronization with Ms. Charisse, who was a wonderful dancer. The blonde looks something like June Haver, who also was a wonderful dancer and vocalist, but Ms. Haver's name does not appear on the cast list.
For those who are taking another look at the "On Your Toes" scene, the two principal dancers are wearing red, and the corps dancers are wearing light pink.
In the party scene near the beginning of the film, Cyd Charisse and Betty Garrett arrive on the arms of Perry Como. Cyd is wearing a gold and orange print or embroidered dress, and Betty is wearing a red print dress.
