She's clearly been working on the stage rather than for movies, her motions and expressions are much 'bigger' than the way she acted for the camera. Her dancing is terrific, hard to believe she was well into her fifties here. A few months after this clip, Rogers would take over 'Hello Dolly' on Broadway, for more than 1100 performances. She burned the town down with critics raving and every single performance sold out. And from here, Hugh O'Brien went to work with Lana Turner in 'Love Has Many Faces.'
Wow, Ginger was absolutely gorgeous in the 60s! Great dance number. I just realized that she was doing what she did in a number from 'Follow the Fleet' where she gets "stuck" doing the same step over and over, while the other dancers have moved on....very cute and funny:)
Yes, she loved the out of doors and her ranch in Oregon. After she sold it, she lived in Medford for part of the year. Did you ever meet Ginger? Ginger loved fishing along the Rogue River which went through her property.
Ginger Rogers is such a great, eternal star. Thanks for this delightful clip! By the way, why didn't Hugh O'Brien do Broadway musicals? He has a terrific voice and great stage presence. He even has the courage to drop with the great Ginger. I think that the not-so-secret of Ginger's fantastic dancing is that she she is a wonderful actor.
I never did, but we did attend some performances at her theatre, and I don’t think there’s an Oregonian on Earth, who isn’t proud to have known she lived in our state and enjoyed it. I grew up in Grants Pass after being born in Eugene and then moved up outside of Portland. It just seemed pretty neat that she (and Jack Elam among others) liked Oregon and chose to live there. Walter Brennan also retired to eastern Oregon near Joseph, I think. 😊
Rogers was great, back in the 30's, but clearly not up to par, even remotely, in this performance. The tap steps are so basic that...well, Hugh O'Brien was able to learn them. No wonder Astaire steered clear of his former partner...
@@carlingtons Miller, Donald O'Connor, Sammy Davis Jr. and many others could dance well into their 50's and 60's, while Rogers looked like she was WALKING throughout ALL of her 60's and 70's bit parts -- with one exception -- her Charleston dance on The Lucy Show. And one more important exception -- her entrance with Astaire at the 1967 Oscars. They glide like just like they did 30 years earlier...with the exception of Roger's surprised expression and look of gratitude to Astaire... ruclips.net/video/B6JnJJNo4N4/видео.html
Did you even see her 1964 performance? Which was also on Hollywood place, this was a more simple dance, but on a different episode, she was twirling and be swung around like crazy. And at 53

Shes 53 here? WOW!

She was hot when she was in her 70s
@@Ranwolfe it’s crazy how she was 53 years old here
Ginger is wonderful here. She was such a versatile talent, she excelled at comedy, drama, farce, and of course dancing and singing.
Ginger was very talented.
GInger is no Cyd Charisse or Ann Miller. Her choreography is rather simple and tailored to her limited dancing ability.
Head of her time and what a beauty
I agree!
Love Ginger- she looked fabulous.
"Oh Golly Ginger!" My sentiments exactly!
Yes, Ginger was a GENUINE beauty and a very talented lady!!!
How cool she is! :)

I disagree Hugh done ok
DON'T KNOW WHY HUGH NEVER WAS IN A MUSICAL??? GINGER WAS GREAT AS USUAL....
You must be blind. Ginger wasn't 'dancing' here, she was barely almost walking. Painful to watch...
Before "Spanks"....before Lyposuction...before Photoshopping and computer enhancement I give you a REAL lady.................
A great Oregonian, too. :-)

I'm a proud Oregonian who loves Ginger!
Hugh o Brian is so handsome here. He also can do everything.
I think this was actually 1/18/64
DDumbrille Astaire never steered clear of Ginger. I think she's a pretty grand dancer for someone in her 40s.
I totally agree with you.
I agree as well but I have to point out that Ginger was born in 1911 making her 53 and that's even more impressive!
Yes, you are correct about Ginger's age.
Джинджер здесь 53 года! Вау!
Ginger makes me dizzy with love
I also can't stop thinking about how hot she was in her 50's

@@carlingtons Tell that to Ann Miller, here in 1987 at age SIXTY THREE.

@@carlingtons I saw her dance. I swear I thought she was mid to early 30s, I cannot believe she’s 53 here.
