  1. My favorite show biz quote (other than how she is a heinous bitch goddess...) "Sure, Fred Astaire was great, but don't forget Ginger Rogers did everything he did backwards and in high heels!"

    1. Great quote. It must have been something seeing those movies in the theater for the first time. I think Astaire is underrated as a singer. I like his simple unpretentious style.
