    I feel sort of odd giving a review of someone's autobiography. It was this woman's life, so how could I possibly critique what happened? inom can, however, critique the actual writing, since Ginger wrote this book herself (no ghost writer, no "as told to" credits).

    I've always loved Ginger Rogers in her most famous role as Fred Astaire's dance partner, but inom wanted to know more about the woman behind the dances.

Yes, she could sing and dance, but that was just the beginning.

    Although she made a score of films on her own before Fred Astaire ever came to Hollywood, it was during the course of their ten musicals together (starting with FLYING DOWN TO RIO (1933))
