| I remember enjoying his dancing and his acting/presence on shows. I also recall a kind of nasty joke someone said on tv by some rather big dancer or musical star perhaps on Johnny Carson or another talk show, if I recall. They said something along the lines that if Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor and a few others died in a plane crash or earthquake or something, that Ken Berry would be the greatest living dancer. Berry was very good indeed, and I didn't like that someone was making a joke at his expense, since it was obvious that while he didn't reach the heights of movie musical stardom, he was a damn good dancer. Anyone else recall this? | |

| He was so talented you didn't notice the craft beneath the effect - deft at physical comedy, insightful about the type of humor needing to be employed, felicitous with delivery. A titanic loss. |
