As a regular feature, every Monday I shall be sharing with
you a famous Ginger.
Who better to start with than… GINGER ROGERS!
Not named, Ginger for her fiery hair or temperament. In fact;
not named Ginger at all! Virginia McNath (as she was really born), was
allegedly nicknamed Ginga when her small cousin couldn’t pronounce her full
name. “Ginga” stuck and she later took the last name of her Grandfather; “Rogers”,
as growing up she became very close to her Grandpa and even bought him a house
so, he could be closer to her when she was filming!
Ginger, built her career from Vaudeville, to the more
serious stage and then, on to film where she appeared in scores of films that
your modern actress can only dream to achieve.

And of course, everyone needs a Fred to their Ginger. Unfortunately,
if you find a Fred, you are probably not going to get very far with him.
However, he will be a lot of fun to dance with!
The beautiful Ginger Rogers was and is an icon of; strength, endurance, beauty, durability, grace and humour. The girl could dance and act too!I hope she brightens up your day and inspires you, just as she will be inspiring me this week.
