Ginger Rogers

Artist: Ginger Rogers
LP: 7" single
Song: "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off"
[ listen ]

There was a blond woman in line at the Swedish pancake breakfast on Sunday who looked just like Ginger Rogers—but about 28 years after the above photo was taken. She was wearing a luxurious green fur-collared coat and was carrying the largest black patent-leather handbag I've ever seen. You can read all about Ginger Rogers and see a list of movies she appeared in here, and go here to watch her twirl around the dance floor with Fred Astaire in "Swing Time," made in 1936.

[ Ginger Rogers: July 16, 1911 — April 25, 1995 ]
