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 [tag]Ginger Rogers[/tag]. Did you know she appeared in over 70 films, of which I believe 9 were made with [tag]Fred Astaire[/tag]. 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 [tag]Ginger Rogers Musical[/tag] 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.
