1923: Fred and Adele
Before Fred Astaire was paired with Ginger Rogers, he and his sister, Adele, had a vaudeville act that took them to Broadway. There, they produced hits like "For Goodness Sake,” "Funny Face,” and "The Band Wagon.” Although Fred enjoyed more fame than his sister, some have suggested that Adele was, in fact, the more talented of the two. In this photograph, the siblings are seen dancing on the rooftop of London’s Savoy Hotel.
