Born July 16,1911 in Independence,Mo. , Ginger began at an early age trying to live out her dreams. Ginger's mother , Lela Rogers was her best friend and support thoughout her career.
After winning a Charleston contest that led her first to Vaudeville; and then to Hollywood, she made her first musical " Top Speed ". She met Fred Astaire in 1933 and with him becre she starred in many productions including " Mame", and " Hello Dolly ". She definitely followed her dreams. She died April 25, 1995; but will always be remembered.
