GINGER ROGERS. My absolute favourite. I get excited about a lot of Old Hollywood actors and actresses and call them "my favourite"- but Ginger Rogers is, undoubtedly, my favourite actress of all-time. I wish I could articulate all that she means to me, but honestly I don't think I could do her justice, such is the admiration and love I have for her. Hopefully this video does the talking for me. I will say though that Ginger really could do it all. Comedy, drama, musicals, film noir...she was great in any and all roles and genres. There was no one quite like her and there never will be again. She was an incredibly special woman and I hope I captured all that she was and the energy she brought to every single performance.
I actually clipped a total of 47 Ginger films for this video, but only 41 made the final cut. I would love to make another Ginger Rogers video down the road (one that features all 47 of those films)- but for now this is what you're stuck with lol. The clipping process for this video was more intense than any other video I've ever done. 47 FILMS!!!! It probably took me (AT LEAST) an hour for each film...THAT'S A LOT OF WORK!!!! Hopefully it was worth it. I'm not entirely sure that it was. I held myself to such a high standard with this video, so I'm not entirely happy with the outcome. I just wanted to create something worthy of her talent and hopefully I've succeeded in doing so. We'll see...
For my actor and actress tributes, I like to provide a few film recommendations in case you feel inspired to go out and watch a few of their films! Ginger is best remembered today for her partnership with Fred Astaire and, while I adore her solo work, the Astaire/Rogers musicals are where I'd start if I was introducing someone to Ginger. This also happens to be how I first discovered Ginger! My favourite Astaire/Rogers musicals (in chronological order) are "The Gay Divorcee" (1934), "Roberta" (1934), "Top Hat" (1935) and "Swing Time" (1936). To be honest though, they are all great films and you really can't go wrong. As for Ginger's solo films, my favourites are (again in chronological order) Stage Door (1937), Vivacious Lady (1938), Bachelor Mother (1939), Kitty Foyle (1940), Lucky Partners (1940), The Major and the Minor (1942), I'll Be Seeing You (1944) and Monkey Business (1952). I also love the two Busby Berkeley films she made (though Ginger only has a minor role in both of these films)- 42nd Street (1933) and Gold Diggers of 1933 (1933). I realise I practically recommended all 47 films but she has so many wonderful films!
