EDITORS COMMENTS

"Adele Astaire: A Dazzling Star on and off the Stage" Lady Charles Cavendish, known to the world as Adele Astaire, was a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry. Alongside her brother Fred, she captivated audiences with their electrifying performances. From their early days in Stop Flirting to their iconic portrayal of Giselle, this dynamic duo left an indelible mark on the world of dance. In London, 1924, Fred and Adele Astaire wowed audiences once again in Stop Flirting. Their chemistry onstage was palpable, leaving spectators breathless and begging for more. They were truly a sight to behold. But it wasn't just her dancing that made Adele shine; she had a flair for fashion too. In Schiaparelli's designs, Lady Charles Cavendish exuded elegance and sophistication like no other. Her style became synonymous with grace and glamour. The Famous Astaires by Nerman immortalized their talent through stunning photographs that showcased their boundless energy and charisma. These images captured the essence of what made them such beloved performers. Adele's influence extended beyond just dance; she even taught others how to master popular dances like the Jitterbug through instructional sheets. She was not only an exceptional performer but also a generous teacher who wanted everyone to experience the joy of movement. Madame Yevonde beautifully portrayed Lady Charles Cavendish in all her regal glory - a true testament to Adele's timeless beauty and poise both on stage and off. Programme covers from Lady Be Good (1926) adorned theater walls everywhere as fans eagerly anticipated another breathtaking performance from this extraordinary sister-brother duo. Just as Gustav Klimt immortalized his muse in Portrait Bloch Bauer I (1907), so did audiences hold Adele close to their hearts forevermore after witnessing her incredible talent.
