  1. You found a really beautiful picture of Ginger, Dawn. I'll never forget when I must have only been 9 or 10, seeing her dance with Fred Astaire in "Cheek to Cheek" That beautiful feathered dress, the romance, the gorgeous song -- that was my first introduction to Ginger, and she will always be that way to me.
