Ginger was very funny in "Carefree" - one of the lesser appreciated Rogers & Astaire films.

Classy and conservative lady!
Doris Day idolized Ginger Rogers. She was thrilled when Rogers and her were cast in the movie “Storm Warning”.

It was the first movie which Day not sing in.
Anything Fred could dance, Ginger could dance left-handed and backwards.
Love her comment about conversation while dancing— absolutely a huge part of the experience. Friendly, fun banter. Flirting. Whispers in the ear. Damn, I’m getting OLD!!!
She was unlucky in love, however. Five husbands. Five divorces. No children.
