Format:Hardcover
...This is truly a heartwarming experience from beggining to end. Ginger writes candidly about her upbringing, her early experiences on the vaudeville circuit, through to the beggining of her film career and the sad story of her five marriages which all ended in divorce. The best bits for me were when she talks about her family especially of her devotion to her beloved mother Lela (to whom she dedicates this book) and the chapter where she describes how she coped with Lela's death is truly poignant indeed. she describes how christian science helped her through life and how she used it to help others (she cured her third husband of warts and her fourth husband of boils!). I felt quite sad though reading this knowing that Ginger was no longer with us (it's a shame she couldn't use christian science to save herself from diabetes; she died from it in April 1995) for I would surley have written to her congratulating her on havig written such a wonderful book.

This is one of the most interesting books I have ever read. As it was written by Ginger herself it really gives you an insight into her warm and witty character. I honestly could not put it down. A definite must for Ginger fans!

Format:Paperback
I have been a huge fan of Ginger for many years now, and always wanted to read her Autobiography. It makes for very interesting reading & she has an easy style of writing. Her life started out humble & she progressed, through hard work, to the star who is known throughout the world. She & Fred Astaire were good friends - despite adverse publicity & their partnership in their 10 films together was pure gold. I am still reading the book & can't wait for the next chapters to unfold! Recommended.

A good read
This wasn't what I was expecting, but it was all the better for it. Virginia McMath (Ginger Rogers) writes in a very easy and compelling style about her upbringing and her rise to... Read more

I've read a good few Hollywood biographies and autobiographies lately. This autobiography, written by Ginger Rogers when she was pretty old, was not among my favourites, though... Read more
