Can't act, can't sing. Dances a little.
 

If you add "isn't funny", I would say that was a fair assessment
of Fred Astaire and several others of his ilk.

(Just caught a bit of "Singing in the Rain")

Can't act, doesn't know the meaning of "ilk"
 

Sadly, I'm not of that ilk[*]. At least, not for several generations.

As I recall, Singing in the Rain (the movie) featured
Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor and Debbie Reynolds,
not Fred Astaire.

Good to get the facts straight, don't you think?
