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.
ReplyDeleteBeck, Ginger's performance in the film Cheek to Cheek" is also one of my favorites.
