Biography (TMDB):	Cyd Charisse (born Tula Ellice Finklea; March 8, 1922 – June 17, 2008) was an American dancer and actress. After recovering from polio as a child and studying ballet, Charisse entered films in the 1940s. Her roles usually featured her abilities as a dancer, and she was paired with Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly; her films include Singin' in the Rain (1952), The Band Wagon (1953), Brigadoon (1954), and Silk Stockings (1957). She stopped dancing in films in the late 1950s, but continued acting in film and television, and in 1992 made her Broadway debut.

Profile Picture

Quantity rather than quality - there are over a dozen scenes, but nothing really great. Elsa is spotted at first clasping a pack of cigarettes, then holding, then dragging on a balcony, smoking in her negligee, drooping prior to lighting up, and lighting up in her bra and panties. Cyd drags in a couple of scenes, but it is unconvincing. In what appears to be product placement, Alexandra takes a cigarette from a soft pack, but returns a pack of Rothmans to her bag. Tracy, Maggie and Penny have brief smoking scenes.

Singin' in the Rain

during the long ballet scene, Cyd Charisse plays the wicked temptress to Gene Kelly. She is complete with holder and a great exhale shot. May be the basis for my fetish

The Band Wagon

Two Weeks in Another Town

Trevor smokes in five scenes, Charisse in one, Roos pretty much all the time. Lavi holds while dancing and later accepts a light.
