Ginger Rogers
We love watching old movies in our house. My husband grew up watching them with his dad and I’ve just loved them for as long as I can remember. We love the old black and whites, even those that have since been colorized.
One of our favorite actresses of the old movies is Ginger Rogers. Did you know she appeared in over 70 films, of which I believe 9 were made with Fred Astaire. Those two could really dance and sing, it was amazing to watch. One of my favorite songs is “Dancing Cheek to Cheek”. I don’t think we’ll ever see another couple dance like them, even with all the Dancing with the Stars wannabes!
In February, 2008, the Ginger Rogers Musical will debut in her home town of Rancho Mirage, California and then in North Hollywood in April. The musical is a tribute to her life which has some very interesting twists and turns including the fact that she was kidnapped by her own father when she was a baby and later found by her mother.
If we get out to Southern California in the spring I would love to go see this musical.
