Fred Astaire and Sister Adele
Funny Face was the second Gershwin show to feature the brother-and-sister team of Fred (1899-1987) and Adele Astaire (1896-1981). The siblings began their careers as a child act in 1905, when he was six and she was nine. They worked together until 1932, when Adele retired from the stage to marry a British nobleman. This photograph was inscribed to George by Adele. |
