1. Ginger Rogers reading in satin lingerie. 1930’s.

    “Rhythm is born in all of us. To be a desirable dancing partner you don’t have to do all the intricate fancy steps that happen to be in vogue. All you have to do is be a good average dancer and anybody who spends the time and effort can accomplish this.” — Ginger Rogers

     

  2. Ginger Rogers reading Romola Nijinsky’s Life of Nijinsky, assisted by Lincoln Kirstein (1933).

    Ginger Rogers (1911-1995) was an American actress, dancer, and singer.

    Rogers more often than not had a book in her face.  Her mother once remarked that it was hopeless to read a book after Ginger had read it.  She marked it up with notes.  She was always trying to improve herself.
