She didn't drink, but she had her very own ice cream soda fountain.
Always the outdoor sporty type, she was a near-champion tennis player, a topline shot and loved going fishing.
She turned down Donna Reed's role in It's a Wonderful Life.
She was good friends with Lucille Ball and Bette Davis.
She was born Virginia Katherine McMath, but was nicknamed Feathers by one of her co-stars.
She was a fashion consultant for the J.C. Penney chain from 1972-75.
She won a Charleston contest in 1925, at the age of 14, and appeared in vaudeville acts until she was 17.

Doris Day?
Ginger Rogers (one of my all time favorite photos of her is in waders in the middle of a stream fly fishing. One of the most stylish women ever completely at ease "roughing it.")
I see it now! I love the soda fountain idea. Do we have one of those at the Happy Trails Resort?
Ok seriously when are you opening said resort? I wanna visit.
Correct!
And yes, we *definitely* need one at Happy Trails.
I read once that Ginger Rogers was Fred Astaire's only dance partner who was never reduced to tears by Fred's demanding rehearsal schedule
