She was Fred Astaire's elder sister. Her birthdate was often given as 1897 or 1898, but the 1900 U.S. is a children'spicturebook biography of the early years of celebrated singer, dancer,and movie star Fred Astaire and his older sister Adele Astaire. Whenboth siblings siblingsnpl (formal) → fr��res et s?urs mpl (de m��mes parents)were young, they had to work hard learning to dance andperform for vaudeville vaudeville(vôd`vĭl), originally a light song, derived from the drinking and love songs formerly attributed to Olivier Basselin and called Vau, or Vaux, de Vire. theater; the money they brought in helped supporttheir family, and in hard times dinner might be no more than a singleegg split between the two of them. In their youth, Adele was recognizedas the better performer when both were children; Fred labored to matchher natural talent, and honed his creativity inventing new acts toperform. They grew up together, and when Adele chose to get married andretire from dancing, Fred faced a whole new challenge--he'd almostalways performed with her before; now he had to face the stage byhimself. He dared to venture to Hollywood, and so began his legendaryfilm career. The illustrations are upbeat without making light of thehard times of the Great Depression, and the text of Footwork is justinvolved enough to be suitable for young readers who are almost ready tomove on to chapter books. Highly recommended.
