{{quote|''Sure <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Fred Astaire]]] was great, but don't forget that Ginger Rogers did everything he did, ...backwards and in high heels.''|''[[Frank and Ernest]]'' by Bob Thaves, [[:
[[Ginger Rogers]] (July 16, 1911 – April 25, 1995) was an American actress, dancer, and singer. She is known for her performances in films and RKO's [[Musical|musical films]] in which she was partnered with [[Fred Astaire]]. She appeared on stage, radio and television throughout much of the 20th century.
She entered show business by way of a dance contest which launched a successful stage career, starting in [[Vaudeville]] and then making her way to Broadway in the 1930 production ''Girl Crazy''.
After two films with Astaire in a row flopped, Rogers chose to branch out into [[Comedy|comedies]] and [[Drama]]s, eventually winning the [[Academy Award]] for Best Actress in 1940 for her performance in the title role of ''Kitty Foyle''.
In 1965, after a series of disappointing and unremarkable films, she returned to Broadway as Dolly Levi in ''[[Hello, Dolly!]]''
