[@niltamims3137]

[@elissaschornstein5903]

Wonderful dancer, singer, and actor. Plus gorgeous to look at. George Chakiris is One of my favourite performers.

[@georgemccoy3598]

Was always my wife’s favorite. She had her bedroom painted purple to match his shirt in West Side Story.

[@jeffreymclaughlin6143]

WOW I DIDN'T REALIZE HE WAS ONE GREAT GREAT SINGER AS WELL AS DANCER THAT WAS TOTALLY FANTASTIC GREAT GREAT JOB GEORGE HE IS ONE EXTRAORDINARY PERFORMER.

[@terryjohn39]

Didn't realise that George Chakiris had made so many films. What a talented person he is !!

[@waynenorth3791]

He's quite wonderful. And his singing and acting add to the magic.

[@2034916]

So talented and so handsome. I met him at his book signing a few months ago. He was so kind and nice. Such a lovely gentleman.

[@alisonmadden6471]

Great Bernardo - so graceful - loved his performance and delivery ….

[@SaudiaTate]

so graceful in his every move

[@troyannbladsacker1811]

Elegant!

[@angserran]

Dude could sing! He could have been a crooner easily. Sing, dance, act. Today, there are superstars that don't have half his talent. I don't know how his stardom from West Side Story didn't propel him to mega stardom, but he sure could have been for many years.

[@carolechapman731]

But the same thing happened to Rita Moreno. Such a talent, yet she didn't get any parts for, I think it was 8 years, after winning the Oscar for West Side Story

[@crystalfreeman9295]

George is a amazing dancer he floats on air when he moves. Not to mention totally gorgeous. Even now in 2021 soon to be 2022.❤️❤️🥰🥰💋💋🔥🔥🔥😘😘.

[@sherrelhauhe7791]

Loved seeing him in this very special montage of his dancing and singing...truly a very talented star !!!

This was great to watch. He was so sexy in West Side Story. I never knew about the rest of his career.

[@lindalcoomes]

See him in all his glory with Yul Brynner = Kings of the Sun. Amazing, both of them.

[@carolanestanley4030]

[@johannastromberg1224]

[@saunders49]

He still looks terrific!

[@Loveoldies50]

I wish that you had included a listing of where these performances came from. I'm surprise that he didn’t become a greater star. He was SO talented!

[@lalalivy2854]

Loveoldies50 agreed 100 percent

[@terryo1530]

[@alisonmadden6471]

[@terryo1530]

[@cactusbound]

Of course, West Side Story; a 1967 television production of Kismet With José Ferrer, Barbara Eden, Anna Maria Alberghetti and Hans Conried; the others were probably variety guest spots and the last one was with Catherine Deneuve and Gene Kelly in Jacques Demy's French musical Les Demoiselles de Rochefort (1967) 🙂

[@julianadamico4702]

I didn't know he could sing because he didn't sing much in West Side Story. he had a beautiful voice.

[@shviewjames126]

Icon! And it should be noted how much Michael Jackson apparently was influenced by him. “Beat It”and “The Way You Make Me Feel”. Both Virgo ♍️

[@artsmeme]

You captured all the highlights. We are screening "Les Demoiselles de Rochefort" at UCLA Film & Television Archive in a Tribute to George Chakiris Saturday November 16, 2013. George will be there, in person, for an interview.

[@eduardoibazeta8157]

I would like to was there!! I watched this movie many times and admire him very much

[@EricLehner]

Interesting! Thank you...

[@saranghae8160]

George Chakiris is the Enormous. If it is too ecstatic to see his dancing too. Other images you'll wish he was dancing up a lot ^ ^

[@kristineburbey4710]

I never saw this before!

[@lindahuetson5779]

I was waiting for his dance number with Rosemary Clooney in White Christmas.

[@blackmore4]

Or 'Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend' with Marilyn in 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes'.

[@chrisjeffries2322]

@@blackmore4 Yes! And he was at Marilyn's 60th memorial this year also.

[@skippyd89]

Many of these sequences are from TV as well as film.

[@SaudiaTate]

what was the last film?? (The one in color)

[@Necromancer66]

The Young Girls of Rochefort (France, 1967)

[@kaneno-san9292]

Can someone tell me the name off the song 1:09

[@neecicoleman3063]

Not sure which one you're speaking of. The song in the black and white sequence is "Stranger in Paradise" from the musical Kismet. The color sequence is "Just the Way You Are" by Billy Joel. Just a heads up, the og by Billy Joel isn't as upbeat as this rendition.

[@kaneno-san9292]

@@neecicoleman3063hey it’s been a Year since your comment ! And let me tell you i haven’t found the video yet even though I’ve been searching everywere…But thank you so much for your comment ❤

[@bobhogg4174]

I had no idea George Chakiris was such a flamboyant homosexual.

[@phillycatlady]

Flamboyant? I’ve never heard a single thing about his lovers, although I knew he was gay.

With a name like HOGG, I'm sure you can't get a date!

[@Croneposse429]

I think all of the Jetts and Sharks were gay! 😂

[@annacrowder9548]

​@@phillycatladyI agree. Never heard a negative thing about him. Everybody's comments always mentioned his kindness and positive attitude.😅
