Ginger Rogers (1911–1995)
Autor de Ginger: My Story
Sobre El Autor
A dancer in American theater and film as well as an actress, Ginger Rogers began her career in vaudeville, which led to engagements in Broadway shows. She co-starred in George Gershwin's Girl Crazy (1930), and that role led to Hollywood contracts. Blessed with a comedic gift and the willingness to mostrar más engage it, Rogers played opposite Fred Astaire, offsetting his sophisticated presentation while matching his dancing skill. Among the many films in which she starred are Gay Divorcee, Top Hat, Kitty Foyle, and Monkey Business. (Bowker Author Biography) mostrar menos

* Networking constantly kept her in the film business.
* So did dating inside Hollywood's social set.
* An aggressive mother as manager helped her become a success.
* Her mother made up most of her contracts with the studios.
* Ginger liked to retreat to nature when she needed to recuperate from her busy schedules in Hollywood.
* This is why she bought and kept a remote house in Oregon for more than 50 years, in addition to her Hollywood house.
* She was an amateur artist and a self-made actress.
* She learned on the job to apply her natural talent.
* She was a gifted writer, as her mother was before her.
* She had a gift for storytelling and descriptive language.
* Instead of performing in Dolly and Mame, perhaps she should have written several books.
* She had poor taste in men, so she married many times.
* She dated fellow actors.
* She was introduced to intercontinental travel when she was in her 50s.
* She was a believer in angels and in faith healing through Christian science.
At 500 pages, this was a thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining read.
The book made me nostalgic for her films.
Over a couple of Saturdays after reading the book, I binged on Ginger Rogers - Fred Astaire movies from my collection.
She was a great actress, dancer, and writer.
