The Swans Pod on Instagram: "Moira Shearer (born today) and James Mason in THE STORY OF THREE LOVES (1953). Scottish-born Moira Shearer was a trained ballerina and juggled her dancing with acting for a time. Due to her popularity after this film, producer Arthur Freed hoped to convince her to stay on at MGM to play Fiona in Brigadoon (1954) but her dance schedule conflicted with film and the role went to Cyd Charisse. #theswanspod #oldhollywood #vintagestyle #classicmovie #goldenageofhollywood"
