and Eleanor Powell were both in Queen High from 1931 if this video is correct - the only time Maven knows of that
had both ladies in the same movie and before either danced their way into Hollywood History with Fred Astaire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTncL89alok&feature=related
| Ginger Rogers' Home |
|
| Beverly Hills, California |
This is from an
Time article that has a brief mention of Rogers' home:
Ginger Rogers' precocity
was not confined to her stage career. At eleven, she played a piano solo of MacDowell's To a Wild Rose in a Fort Worth auditorium.
At 17, she married a vaudeville hoofer named Edward (Jack) Culpepper. Ginger left Culpepper three months later, divorced him,
married Hollywood Actor Lew Ayres in 1935, separated from him the same year. At present unattached, she lives with her mother
in the highest house on Beverly Crest, in Beverly Hills.
Designed and furnished by
Ginger and her mother, the Rogers house is equipped with standard Hollywood conveniences of tennis court, bird's-eye view,
projection room, outdoor bath, and such eccentric Hollywood conveniences as a built-in soda fountain. Ginger enjoys making
herself chocolate sodas behind the fountain, but goes around to sit properly in front of the counter to drink them. In her
studio, she makes portrait sketches and sculptures.
