The first Kennedy Center Honors program from 1978 saluted Fred Astaire, Marion Anderson, Richard ROdgers, Arthur Rubenstein. Unfortunately, I only saved the ASTAIRE segment offered here in two parts. Part one is hosted by Douglas Fairbanks Jr and has a nice biographical video on Astaire, part two has a salute from the original cast of 'A CHORUS LINE'. enjoy!
