Ginger Rogers discusses her long stage and screen career in this candid 1980 interview with Tom Snyder, while preparing to open at the Radio City Music Hall.
Very refreshing to see such a down-to Earth lady, while having been an immense talent in Showbiz. Love her sensible attitude to life and loved her in all the dance ensembles with Fred Astaire , famous and unforgettable pairing. Apparently, she insisted on designing all her own outlandish costumes, clearly, a lady of so many diverse talents.
Ginger had gorgeous eyes. I did some research on her family and saw a picture of her father, Mc Math, he was a electrical engineer, died at age 45 yrs, but he remarried, could not find much on him, unfortunately she never met him. Her eyes I would say came from her fathers side.
I really miss Tom, he was a great interviewer. He would ask a question and listen, not start asking another question before they ended what they had to say!
Thank you SO much for posting this interview I it's entirety and not a teaser! I adore Ginger Rogers. There's nothing I don't love about her. I think her fans deserve better than some of the teaser clips that are out there that show 18 seconds of an interview. Anyway, thanks again! It's very much appreciated!
Tom Snyder was just wonderful. I remember these shows that I could occasionally watch late at night when all was quiet. The format and style made you feel like you were in the room and in on the conversation.
Beyond her legendary dancing, she was a great comedic talent, very quick and funny. Many of my favorite GR movies are her playing a wisecracking role. She was also a fantastic actress in dramas, like Kitty Foyle. I would have loved to have met her and chatted with her. A great lady.
What she had more than anything- and she had great talent - was sex appeal. Even at that age, you just want to cuddle up with her and make her happy. There were better actresses, better dancers etc. But only she had the personality and combination.
Plus, I don't believe there was ever a black cloud over him regarding any sort of scandal, like groping or harassing his staff or conducting a sleazy personal life. I may be wrong though, I just don't remember anything at this.moment.
Really well I was in Europe last year and the golden age of Hollywood most I met kept mentioning Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire same thing in the young generations in Hollywood where I live
@@felixsebaoun8266 Great!! There are some quite rude people in the comments, that's what I was talking about. Love to hear about Ginger/old star fans !!😁😍
Ginger knew and said it already then why musicals didn't do anymore in Hollywood. They didn't have then or even today musicians, producers, directors, songwriters and most of all, didn't want to do it. Fact.
I've been reading the Bible for 30 yrs. and I have never seen or heard that verse before! Just saying! Love Ginger Rogers but I think she's got the wrong verse and the wrong book!
