Ginger Rogers was born on this date 112 years ago in Independence, Missouri.
She captivated the world dancing with Fred Astaire.
She said:
"My mother told me I was dancing before I was born. She could feel my toes tapping wildly inside her for months."
and
"Part of the joy of dancing is conversation. Trouble is, some men can't talk and dance at the same time."
God Bless Ginger.

Classy and conservative lady!
Doris Day idolized Ginger Rogers. She was thrilled when Rogers and her were cast in the movie “Storm Warning”.

It was the first movie which Day not sing in.
Anything Fred could dance, Ginger could dance left-handed and backwards.
Grace and beauty unmatched. Timeless.
And in heels.
(She really couldn’t, though, not when you include Fred’s solo numbers.)
Love her comment about conversation while dancing— absolutely a huge part of the experience. Friendly, fun banter. Flirting. Whispers in the ear. Damn, I’m getting OLD!!!
Awesome video!
I bet she was good at golf as well. Anyone who has the graceful smooth dance movements, would be a natural at golf.
“Ginger could dance left-handed and backwards.”
And in high heels.

She was unlucky in love, however. Five husbands. Five divorces. No children.

Five honeymoons must have involved some fun ..........
