The comic book strip Frank and Ernest popularized a well-known Hollywood factoid: “Ginger Rogers did everything (Fred Astaire) did, backwards and in high heels.” Rogers earned critical and commercial success through her partnership with Astaire, with the two starring in multiple hits like The Gay Divorcee, Swing Time, Top Hat, and Shall We Dance. Rogers won the Best Actress Oscar for the classic Hollywood melodramaKitty Foyle, establishing herself as a prestigious actress outside her partnership with Astaire. Rogers’ other famous projects include the films Storm Warning and Monkey Business and numerous Broadway hits.
