Donald O' Connor (1925-2003) was truly one of the greats of the dancing world. He made it look so effortless that he is often overlooked when you are talking about Hollywood dancers. He definitely deserves to be ranked up there with Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly. Here are some great picture moments in the life and career of Donald O'Connor...

He really was one of the greats, wasn't he? It's too bad he doesn't get the acclamation he deserves... which is why I gave a little cheer when I saw this tribute.
