...just an 'extra' pic...

...the last pic from the previous post - here's another one form that 'session'... maybe a little less 'come hither' look, but still very beautiful! ...you know, this is from some other movie, not Follow the Fleet... I am pretty sure of it...man - see, I should KNOW this stuff!!!

...Just some of my Favorite Photos...

Well, I was just thinking... I really have not just posted photos just for the sake of posting photos in a while, if ever... so, here goes! I tried to post some of my faves you may have not seen - others I'm sure you have... but either way, here you go... it's so cool to me how DIFFERENT she looks from picture to picture, yet how devastatingly beautiful she is in each!!! Well, I won't clutter it up with any captions or anything - they pretty much speak for themselves!!!

More to Come... VKMfan (PG Giza) (Huey) (jwalker) :-)

Ginger Trivia, Round Three...

Hopefully I am not in Ginger's doghouse for the long wait between posts... but she IS beautiful when angry, no? (actually, she just looks kinda...bored in this pic... but beautiful nevertheless!!!)

...I returned to work last Tuesday, after about a week, and things were quite backed up... not THAT bad, but enough to command the bulk of my time... as a result, G-ology has been dormant for a few days... BUT NO MORE! It is back with a vengeance, or at least hopefully more entertaining facts concerning our Miss Rogers, as we submit another installment of "Ginger Trivia!" And, as always, if anything is 'questionable' please open the floor for discussion regarding the issue... :-) And, the answers are, as always, just below the 'Master Movie List' on the right side of this page...

-----

QUESTION ONE: How many times did Ginger appear SOLO on the cover of Life magazine?

QUESTION TWO: What department store chain hired Ginger in the early 1970's as a "Traveling Fashion Consultant"?

QUESTION THREE: How tall was Ginger? (not counting the high heels she did everything backwards in!) - within an inch either way.

QUESTION FOUR: Which movie (inexplicably) dubbed in another female singer for Ginger?

QUESTION FIVE: What year did Lela Rogers Die?

QUESTION SIX: What was the first movie Ginger made outside "The Continental" (pun intended)United States?

QUESTION SEVEN: What movie did Ginger turn down where she would have played Jimmy Stewart's love interest, and which is now arguably Stewart's most famous movie?

QUESTION EIGHT: Ginger used to use this word at the end of many of her autographs, and also uses it as the ending thought of her biography. What is it?

QUESTION NINE: Ginger was one of "WAMPA'S Baby Stars of 1932". What is "WAMPA" an acronym for?

QUESTION TEN: Sad finish to this round, but... in what cemetery (name and city) is Ginger buried?

Reminder...

..."Weekend at the Waldorf" will be shown at 3:00 Central time tomorrow on TCM...
PLEASE NOTE: If you plan on 'burning' a DVD of it, keep in mind it is just OVER 2 hours in length... so the recording setting you use needs to be...well, over two hours! (I learned this the (sorta) hard way when I attempted to transfer it from VHS to DVD... I am 'old school' - anything on TCM is 'taped', then 'burned'... it's an arduous process, but worth the effort to ensure proper redundancy regarding copies of VKM features... so I have the whole movie, but 'wasted' a blank DVD...)
It is a pretty good movie - has multiple plot lines going on, and they jump back and forth in a pretty fair pattern, which makes the movie move along pretty well - does not really seem like a 2-hour movie. The Ginger role is nice - she plays a famous actress / stage star (a stretch, huh? :-] ) and there are some cool Ginger moments - there is also a pretty good 'plot line' with Lana Turner, also.
