MILESTONES, Page 23
DIED. Charles ("Honi") Coles, 81, dapper, light-footed actor
and tap-dancing virtuoso; of cancer; in New York City. He began
dancing in the 1920s and, like most vaudevillians, was
self-taught. His masterly footwork was generally unrecognized
until he went on Broadway in 1949 in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
With his cohort, dancer Cholly Atkins, he created one of
Broadway's legendary soft-shoe teams. Coles won a Tony Award for
My One and Only in 1983 and last year received a National Medal
of the Arts.
