Dancing for Dollars

Regarding “The American Way . . . That’s Litigation!” (Film Clips, April 24):

I was appalled that Robyn Astaire is charging to show clips from Fred Astaire’s movies; how rich does one have to get? I understand he left her millions. Fred & Ginger movies are part of our American heritage; they are part of movie history.

You’d think she’d be proud to lend out clips from his movies so that many more people in the world can be enriched to see Fred & Ginger dancing, like only they could do.

I can’t believe Fred would have wanted it this way!
