On Fred Astaire Suggesting that the Reason Why He Stopped Performing with Eleanore Powell Was Because She Danced too Much Like a Fella'

  Love Fred but I gotta' call, bullshit, on this one. The woman was about as masculine as Dick Butkus was feminine. If I had to guess I'd say that he was simply getting tired of being shown up by a woman and in a state of desperation came up with this little plum. Unpersuasively I might add.
