“The night of the Academy Awards, I dressed in a black lace and gray peau-de-soie gown dressed by Irene and was ministered by Louise, my hairdresser. Eddie Rubin, my dear friend and publicist, also helped prepare me for the ordeal by bolstering my morale. I wish deep inside me that I didn’t have to be a part of this parade. However, I bit my tongue and pulled up my long silk stockings, along with my courage.”  – Ginger: My Story.

Update: accurate year is dated 1938. Getty lists it as 1940. I was wondering really hard why was her hair blonde in 1940.

“As for Ginger Rogers, her lips are like a rose in full bloom. They are full and reflect her joy in living and her exuberance. Because most of her parts are of the joyous type, we give her lips a little more up-tilt than they naturally have so her mouth will be in harmony with her role” (x)

—Don’t you ever get tired of quarreling?

—What’s the matter, can’t you take it?

—Oh yes, I can take it, if you want it that way.
