Ginger Rogersová citáty

Ginger Rogersová, rodným jménem Virginia Katherine McMath byla americká tanečnice, herečka a zpěvačka. Během své dlouhé kariéry vystupovala v 73 filmech, z nichž dodnes nejznámější jsou její romantické muzikálové a taneční filmy, ve kterých hrála a tancovala se svým nejznámějším filmovým partnerem Fredem Astairem. Za snímek Kitty Foyle získala v roce 1940 cenu Americké filmové akademie Oscar.

Svoji filmovou dráhu zahájila v roce 1929 nevýznamnými rolemi v krátkých filmech. Poté, co se Astairova sestra a zároveň i taneční partnerka Adele provdala, uspěla v konkurzu na Astairovu novou taneční partnerku. Společně pak do roku 1939 natočili sérii osmi lehkých tanečních a muzikálových komedií, která je oba světově proslavila. Posledním se stal snímek Život v tanci z roku 1939, od té doby se vydala na sólovou hereckou a dráhu. Wikipedia

Ginger Rogersová: Citáty anglicky

“I loved Fred so, and I mean that in the nicest, warmest way: I had such affection for him artistically. I think that experience with Fred was a divine blessing. It blessed me, I know, and I don't think blessings are one sided.”

Reported by Dick Richards in "Ginger: Salute to a Star", quoting Rogers from Francis Wyndham's story about Ginger Rogers, in London's "Sunday Times Magazine".

“Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, except backwards and in high heels.”

The line originated in a 1982 Frank and Ernest cartoon ( image http://www.reelclassics.com/Actresses/Ginger/ginger-article2.htm) by Bob Thaves as "Sure he was great, but don't forget that Ginger Rogers did everything he did, ...backwards and in high heels." On the internet and in many publications the line is incorrectly attributed to Faith Whittlesey (see [List of Websites That Have Attributed Thaves' Line to Whittlesey, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=en-us&num=100&newwindow=1&q=%22Faith+Whittlesey%22+%22Ginger+Rogers%22+-incorrect+-incorrectly+-%22Bob+Thaves%22+-%22Ann+Richards%22&aq=f&oq=&aqi=, 2009-07-25, Google]) or Rogers herself. Ann Richards popularized the line by using it in a speech but she credits Linda Ellerbee with giving her the line, and Ellerbee credits an anonymous passenger on an airplane with giving her the line (see [Keyes, Ralph (2006), The Quote Verifier: Who Said What, Where, and When, St. Martin's Griffin, 77, 0312340044]). The official Ginger Rogers website http://www.gingerrogers.com/about/quotes.html attributes the line to Thaves.
