1. I love watching them dance, especially Ginger Rogers

She did everything he did, but in a long dress, high heels and frequently backwards.

And Fred’s pretty good, too.

Ginger takes my breath away, every single time.

2. What beauty & enjoyment they gave the world in dark times

of the Great Depression. Ginger's dancing and style are breathtaking; how strong and determined they were, dancing and practicing since early childhood like Fred's sister and partner Adele who left show biz in 1936 when she married a British aristo.

'Fascinating Rhythm' Fred & Adele Astaire dance & sing to George Gershwin playing piano, 1926.
