Destination Hollywood Suggests


And if you enjoyed the Tribute to Fred Astaire, we think you might also enjoy these Tributes ...


A Tribute to Easter Parade

It's on TV at Easter for obvious reasons but we believe that it is a musical that is worth watching all year round – we'll show you why in our Tribute to Easter Parade.


A Tribute to Bing Crosby

They called him the crooner because of his velvety smooth vocal style. We call him one of old-time Hollywood's most diverse entertainers. You're on the Road to Destination Hollywood's Tribute to Bing Crosby.


A Tribute to Gene Kelly

He had many wonderful dance partners (even the cartoon Jerry the Mouse) but his greatest numbers often featured him alone with a song and an extraordinary dance routine. We salute all of his musical performances in our Tribute to Gene Kelly.


A Tribute to Frank Sinatra

He definitely did it his way and like Picasso, he had many different moviemaking "periods." The 1940's "Musical Period." The comedies of the 50's. The hip Rat Pack movies of the 60's. We have them all in our Tribute to the Chairman of the Board, Frank Sinatra.
