Donald O'Connor (Singin' in the Rain, I Love Melvin)—Cosmo Brown in "Singing in the Rain" is literal perfection and Cosmo, Don, and Kathy are #polygoals. such an insanely talented dancer and just full of the vibes [clips below the cut]
Vincent Price (Laura, Leave Her to Heaven, House on Haunted Hill, The Masque of the Red Death)—svelte, stylish, horrifying, beautiful, wickedly funny, camp and gorgeous and evil. he was an art connoisseur who advocated passionately indigenous art, he was an actual literal gourmet cook, he was so liberal he got greylisted during the mccarthy era for being too rad, he's my favorite muppets guest of all time

Donald O'Connor propaganda:
"he's so brilliant in singing in the rain it genuinely makes me so furious he didn't get more awesome leading man parts (or at least more parts playing off gene kelly—they go together like chocolate and peanut butter I swear)"

Donald O'Connor, left, Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds star in the 1952 hit musical 𝑺𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒊𝒏’ 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑹𝒂𝒊𝒏.
Debbies breakout role would come in 1952, when she played aspiring actress Kathy Selden opposite Gene Kelly and Donald O’Connor in 𝑺𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒊𝒏’ 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑹𝒂𝒊𝒏. That movie catapulted Reynolds, who could barely dance a step when she first met Kelly on set, to stardom. She went on to make movies like 𝑻𝒂𝒎𝒎𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒓, in 1957, which gave her a number one hit on the Billboard charts, 𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑾𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑾𝒂𝒔 𝑾𝒐𝒏 in 1962 with Gregory Peck and 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑼𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒌𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝑴𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝑩𝒓𝒐𝒘𝒏 in 1964, for which she received an Oscar nod.
