From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia... Cyd Charisse was an American actress and dancer. After recovering from polio as a child, and studying ballet, Charisse entered films in the 1940s. Her roles usually focused on her abilities as a dancer, and she was paired with Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly. She stopped dancing in films in the late 1950s, but continued acting in film and television, and in 1992 made her Broadway debut.

To arrive at the final location, you will first need to do some research and some basic math. The final is located at N 38° NN.NNN W 121° WW.WWW. Let's do the North first.

NN.NNN = Posted coordinates minus AB.CDE
A = The number of movies with Fred Astaire times the number of daughters she had from her first husband
B = The number of movies with Gene Kelly times the number of daughters she had from her second husband
C = The year she died minus the year she was born divided by the number of husbands, then minus forty
D = The number of appearances on Fantasy Island (TV Series) plus the number of appearances on Hawaii Five-O (TV Series)
E = The number of times she appeared as herself on The Bob Hope Show (TV Series) times the number of times she appeared as herself on The Dean Martin Comedy Hour (TV Series)

WW.WWW = Posted coordinates plus PQ.RST
P = The number of movies with Bill "Bojangles" Robinson times the number of sons she had from her first husband
Q = The number of movies with Shirley Temple plus the number of sons she had from her second husband
R = The year she married her second husband minus the year of her first credited movie
S = The number of appearances on The Love Boat (TV series) plus the number of appearances on Laugh-In (TV series)
T = The number of times she appeared as herself on Donny and Marie (TV Series) plus the number of times she appeared as herself on The Linkletter Show (TV Series)
