Austerlitz, began his career touring in the vaudeville circuit with his sister
Adele as a dancing partner. After many stage hits, he was given a screen

little." In the 1930s, he was paired with Ginger Rogers in ten films and
continued to dominate musical films in the 1940s. Astaire was a recipient of a
special Academy Award in 1949 for his contribution to films and
was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for The Towering Inferno
in 1974. He died at 88 in 1987. Light surface creasing. Pencil notes
(unknown hand) on verso. Adhesive residue on verso. Corners lightly worn.
