Fred Astaire bol americký tanečník a filmová hviezda.

V tridsiatych rokoch natočil sériu muzikálov ako napríklad Top Hat , v ktorých sa preslávil stepovaním so svojou partnerkou Ginger Rogersovou. Toto partnerstvo sa skončilo v roku 1939. Astaire však naďalej zostal populárnou svetovou hviezdou vo filmoch ako Veľkonočná paráda a Silk Stockings .

V roku 1950 získal Oscara za celoživotné dielo.
