Back when I was in the Navy, I had a friend who lived in Vegas and when ever I visited, we'd go to the MGM Grand. They had a Baccarat pit with a railing around the top, and you could stand up there and watch her play.
One of my favorites! She was actually a highly smart woman and could do it all. In addition to her work in entertainment, Rogers was also an advocate for various social and political causes. She was an early supporter of the Civil Rights Movement, and her stance on race relations was way ahead of her time. She was also an advocate for animal rights and supported several animal welfare organizations.
Astaire was such a perfectionist, he made Rogers practice their routines until her toes bled into her shoes. Rogers was the better dancer of the two in my opinion, because she did everything Astaire did, only backwards and in high heels.
