Fred Astaire Buried; Site Is Undisclosed

Fred Astaire, who died Monday of pneumonia at age 88, has been buried, a family attorney confirmed Thursday.

Attorney Jim Taylor said he could not divulge any details of the burial Wednesday.

“I’m sorry I can’t say more,” he told the Associated Press, explaining that the family had requested privacy.

At Astaire’s graveside was his wife, Robyn; daughter, Ava; her husband, Richard McKenzie; son, Fred Jr., and longtime friend and choreographer Hermes Pan, Daily Variety columnist Army Archerd reported.

Neither Archerd nor Taylor disclosed the location of Astaire’s grave. Archerd reported that Astaire was buried alongside his first wife, Phyllis, and his sister, Adele.
