Ginger Rogers dancing with grandson...must watch to the end!
 

Wonderful video except one problem:
Ginger Rogers died in Rancho Mirage on April 25, 1995 of congestive heart failure at the age of 83.

Interesting story: snopes.com: Ginger Rogers Dances with Her Great-Grandson?

This lady is 75 years old! I don't know why the person who put this on YouTube needed to attach it to Ginger Rogers - it's remarkable enough that this 75 year-old could dance like that. I couldn't move that way when I was 40!

WOW! That lady is really something!

That "was" Ginger Rogers, and she was 92 years old there dancing with her grandson. I can only hope I live that long and wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to get around the dance floor like that.

Wow, you are right...she wasn't 92!

Did You Know?

Ginger's grandmother on her mother's side was a relation of George Washington.

She was given the name "Ginger" by her little cousin who couldn't pronounce "Virginia" correctly.

She did not drink: the bar at her house was stocked with ice-cream sodas.

Ginger brought her cousin Helen Brown to Hollywood, renamed her Phyllis Fraser, and guided her through a few films.

Miss Rogers was an accomplished artist and excelled at both sculpting and painting, but could never bring herself to sell any of her work.

She enjoyed tennis, golf, swimming and skeet shooting and held several tennis cups and some high-card records at skeet

And never had any children. At least none that were ever known about.
