- ... that Alex Romero hired a shoeshiner, Leroy Daniels, to dance with Fred Astaire in the 1953 film The Band Wagon?

Interesting life, on few but good sources, book source accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed and great but only when larger. I find it rather confusing in small size. I could imagine that the Elvis one would show much better, but you will have reasons to go for this one? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:46, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: I went with that particular image because it illustrated the hook. We can go with a "Jailhouse Rock" image but it would require a new hook. Personally I think it's interesting how he picked out a shoeshiner and had him dance with Fred Astaire. But your mileage may differ. Guess I'm not that big an Elvis fan, as you can tell from my misspelling his name throughout the article! LOL Coretheapple (talk) 14:13, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
- I said you will have your reasons, thank you for explaining ;)
I aprove that hook for you, but I see coming that the image will not be taken, because you don't really see what it shows in that size. I feel that the hook would be better without "non-actor", but the wish of the nominator is my command. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:02, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
- You have a good point about "non-actor." Out it goes! You also may have a point about the illustration too. Coretheapple (talk) 22:06, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
