Ginger Rogers (born Virginia Katherine McMath; July 16, 1911 – April 25, 1995) was an American actress, dancer and singer who appeared in films, and on stage, radio, and television throughout much of the 20th century.
During her long career, she made 73 films, collaborating with Fred Astaire as a romantic lead actress and dancing partner in a series of ten Hollywood musical films that revolutionized the genre. She achieved great success on her own in a variety of film roles and won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in Kitty Foyle (1940).
Ginger Rogers was lifelong friends with actresses Lucille Ball and Bette Davis. She appeared with Ball in a television episode of Here’s Lucy on November 22, 1971, in which Rogers danced the Charleston for the first time in many years. She also starred in one of the earliest films co-directed and co-scripted by a woman, Wanda Tuchock’s Finishing School (1934). She maintained a close friendship with her cousin, writer/socialite Phyllis Fraser, but was not Rita Hayworth’s natural cousin, as has been reported. Hayworth’s maternal uncle, Vinton Hayworth, was married to Rogers’s maternal aunt, Jean Owens.
