The long-awaited autobiography of one of the greatest stars of Hollywood's golden age,Ginger Rogers.
Ginger Rogers is one of Hollywood's most
enduring legends.As the exquisite film partner of Fred Astaire,she danced her way into the hearts of people all over the world,starring in such classic films as Top Hat.But she was also a serious dramatic actress,winning an Oscar for her performance in Kitty Foyle in 1940.Now,for
the first time,Ginger tells her story.
Beginning with the colourful vaudeville circuit of the Twenties,she traces her career from the stage to the big screen.
Arriving in Hollywood in 1931,she quickly
became a film star for RKO,where the partnership she forged with Fred Astaire led to some of the most magical moments the screen has ever seen.
Ginger tells the true and,at times,sad story of her five marriages - the first when only seventeen to vaudevillian Jack Pepper; and of her performing partners - Jimmy Stewart, Fred Astaire, Cary Grant, Henry Fonda,and Katherine Hepburn.
Ginger Rogers' heart-warming and revealing memoirs paint a vivid portrait of a much-loved actress; and of a glittering Hollywood era,now vanished.
