  • Summary

  • What was the secret behind 1932 Wampas Baby Star Ginger Rogers and her astronomical success? A Svengali-like dance mentor? A relentlessly ambitious stage mother who didn't really care about her daughter? Pure luck that allowed "not a real actress" to get by on charm and dancing alone? Hint: It's none of the above, but plenty of people have suggested it might be!


    This special Close Up episode features (of course) Ginger Rogers, as well as Fred Astaire, Lela Rogers, Howard Hughes, Lew Ayres, James Stewart, Katharine Hepburn, Joan Fontaine, and more!


    This episode contains (mild) language that may be inappropriate for some listeners.
