starliteyes Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 An affectation that was usually attributed to Fred Astaire alone was the wearing of a tie instead of a belt around his waist. However this fashion statement did not originate with him. He actually copied it from another male star who was a friend of his. Name the star.

starliteyes Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 On, you are so close! And since I'm not going to be around for about a week, I'll give it to you. It was Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. I thought it was Jr., too, but the source that I took it from just said Douglas Fairbanks and so I assumed it was the father. Maybe you actually are right. Anyway, the thread is yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Thanks. I'm pretty sure it's Jr. since he was always so elegant and chic up to the very end, and he was in silent pictures too, however I can't confirm it's jr not sr since I'm only guessing here.
