Fred Astaire (born Frederick Austerlitz; May 10, 1899– June 22, 1987) was an American dancer, singer, actor, choreographer, musician, and television presenter.
His stage and subsequent film and television careers spanned a total of 76 years, during which he made 31 musical films and several award-winning television specials and issued numerous recordings. He was named the fifth Greatest Male Star of Old Hollywood by the American Film Institute. As a dancer, he is best remembered for his sense of rhythm, his legendary perfectionism, and as the dancing partner and on-screen romantic interest of Ginger Rogers, with whom he co-starred in a series of ten Hollywood musicals which transformed the genre.
Fred Astaire is the third studio album by the Croatianalternative rock band Pips, Chips & Videoclips. The album was recorded in the period between May and June 1997 and released in October that same year.
Fred Astaire won the 1998 Porin Awards in the Album of the Year and Best Vocal Collaboration categories (the latter was awarded to the track "Plači", featuring Darko Rundek).
"Life Is Beautiful" is a 1974 song with music written by Fred Astaire and lyrics by Tommy Wolf. Tony Bennett was so impressed with the tune, it became the title track of his album of the same name in 1975. The song became widely known as the closing theme for The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. In 1987, in memory of Astaire, who had died earlier that year, Carson closed out his 25th Anniversary special with a clip of Astaire singing the song from an appearance on the show in 1976.
Life Is Beautiful (Italian:La vita è bella[la ˈviːta ɛ bˈbɛlla]) is a 1997 Italian tragicomiccomedy-drama film directed by and starring Roberto Benigni, who co-wrote the film with Vincenzo Cerami. Benigni plays Guido Orefice, a Jewish Italian book shop owner, who must employ his fertile imagination to shield his son from the horrors of internment in a Nazi concentration camp. Part of the film came from Benigni's own family history; before Roberto's birth, his father had survived three years of internment at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.
In 1939 Italy, Guido Orefice is a young Jewish man who is leaving his old life and going to work in the city where his uncle lives. Guido is comical and sharp, making the best from each situation he encounters. From the start he falls in love with a girl Dora. Later he sees her again in the city where she is a teacher. Dora is set to be engaged to a rich but arrogant man. He is a local government official with whom Guido has run-ins from the beginning. Guido is still in love with Dora and performs many stunts in order to see her. Guido sets up many "coincidental" incidents to show his interest. Finally Dora sees Guido's affection and promise and gives in against her better judgement. He steals her from her engagement party on a horse, humiliating her fiancé and mother. Soon they are married and have a son, Giosuè.

Chasing all the clouds of grey.
Life is beautiful
And fine.
But darling,
Only because you’re mine.
