“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” -Winston Churchill.

If Fred Astaire had taken the comments about his first screen test to heart, we wouldn’t have most of America’s beloved musicals today!

In 1946 Kay Mulvey of the Women’s Home Companion (magazine) told about how Fred Astaire showed her his FAVORITE memento. A casting director’s report of his first screen test 12 years prior. “CAN’T ACT; SLIGHTLY BALD. CAN DANCE A LITTLE.”

Brutal! Are you holding onto something negative that someone spoke over you? “You’re always late! You don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re too old for a career change.” We must encourage each other to LAUGH OFF the nay-sayers and passionately pursue even our most impossible dreams. jazzyjoy21 📸
