RIP Ginger...

So first of all it has been 16 years since Ginger Rogers passed away. July 16, 1911 – April 25, 1995.

I know I don't usually post things about people's deaths, but this one is very important because Ginger is my favorite actress. So I'm working on a video and decided to upload some pictures I have collected, from various websites and some wonderful people who have shared.

It is also her centennial year, she was an amazing actress and will always be my favorite. I was able to watch all her movies and she had incredible talent and always did the roles she played flawlessly.

RIP Ginger!

Three Little Words

So I'm finally going to watch a musical that I have been wanting to see for awhile.

It's called, Three Little Words.

Starring: Fred Astaire, Red Skelton, Vera Ellen, (and playing a not-so-very-important-role) Debbie Reynolds. Who appears as Helen Kane.

Here is a short clip of Debbie singing in it:

And here is a quote from the movie, Fred Astaire plays Bert Kalmar, and can't you just picture him delivering that last line?

Bert Kalmar: I wouldn't write that song with you if you begged me.
Harry Ruby: Begged ya? I didn't even ask ya.
Bert Kalmar: I guess you just can't help it, Harry. I feel sorry for you.
Harry Ruby: Feel sorry for me? You must think I'm just a...
Bert Kalmar: I could tell you what I think of you in just three little words. You're a dope!

Anyways, I'm really excited to watch it, and if any of you have seen it, please let me know if you liked it! :D
