 Frank and Rita: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmMyFCXIp0Q 

 Rita's parents were dancers.  Her grandfather, who taught Cagney and Harlow, began to teach Rita when she was three; she continued with her uncle, another dance teacher, till she was eight, and while she was still under age in California was supporting her family at it in Tijuana.  As a kid she didn't like it much, but the way she relaxes into it at the height of her career shows how second-nature it was to her.  I'd rather see Astaire with her than with anyone else.  Look how happy she is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnfKmNRfLYU

Marilyn was such a sweet singer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_IzdZDyT0w.  And she made an even sweeter singer's career when she told the owner of the Mocambo on Sunset Strip, which had never had a black performer before, that if he hired Ella Fitzgerald she, Marilyn, would come every night, meaning of course the place would be sold out.  And he did, and she did, and it was.

 Eartha Kitt, "I Want to Be Evil" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6BNzvhRlCk
Like something that seeks it's level
I wanna go to the devil

I wanna be evil, I wanna spit tacks
I wanna be evil, and cheat at jacks
I wanna be wicked, I wanna tell lies
I wanna be mean, and throw mud pies

I want to wake up in the morning
with that dark brown taste
I want to see some dissipation in my face
I wanna be evil, I wanna be mad
But more than that I wanna be bad

I wanna be evil, and trump an ace,
Just to see my partner's face
I wanna be nasty, I wanna be cruel
I wanna be daring, I wanna shoot pool

And in the theatre
I want to change my seat
Just so I can step on
Everybody's feet

I wanna be evil, I wanna hurt flies
I wanna sing songs like the guy who cries
I wanna be horrid, I wanna drink booze
and whatever I've got I'm eager to lose

I wanna be evil, little evil me
Just as mean and evil as I can be
