Which stinks because most people attach him to Ginger, so no Fred biopic likely means none for Ginger either.<br /><br />Oh, and Meredith-- I checked out you blog, but was unable to leave a comment for some reason. Anyway, it's lovely...I never knew Barbara Stanwyck had a birthday the day after mine. :)Juliette.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02779055836350808401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952132016236201534.post-69418134917896807192009-07-14T22:16:40.739-04:002009-07-14T22:16:40.739-04:00ginger rogers was a true triple threat and i wish ...ginger rogers was a true triple threat and i wish more people would recognize her individual talent! i absolutely adore her films with fred astaire, but as you point out there is so much more to her work. as she put it so aptly (i think in an interview i watched with her) it was a partnership, and as much as I love fred it doesn't seem fair that her side of the pairing always gets overshadowed.<br /><br />i think the major and the minor is probably my favorite of hers. classic!Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15156051197099180915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952132016236201534.post-79480003249523334422009-07-14T20:31:22.682-04:002009-07-14T20:31:22.682-04:00a beautiful drawing wendy :)

Gotta agree 100% with C.K Dexter, even as part of a chorus Ginger shines, this is for me particularly noticable in 42nd street during the final numbers, especially young and healthy, where perhaps not the most gorgeous, she catches your eye every time she's on camera! And the Major and the Minor is a must!BethRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17624623145754672429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952132016236201534.post-77876548674171155952009-07-14T17:31:34.868-04:002009-07-14T17:31:34.868-04:00Kate, thanks for letting me come play on your blog...Kate, thanks for letting me come play on your blog with this post.

I always thought it was shame that most people thought of her only as a dancer (although she was one of the greats), as she was a great dramatic actress as well.Terence Towles Canotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397088843628331615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952132016236201534.post-2635099882374405592009-07-14T15:40:56.291-04:002009-07-14T15:40:56.291-04:00Terrific post!

Even among the many chorines in those Busby Berkeley musicals you just knew that she had "it."

I admit that while I never actively watch something just because it has Ginger Rogers in it I have enjoyed just about everything I've seen her in and am heading to Netflix right now to see what I may have missed. Stage Door is one of my faves but now you've got my curiosity up for The Major and the Minor.vivienne strausshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07950873670326776362noreply@blogger.com
