Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is an excellent book which reviews Ginger Rogers career, from her early beginnings to her last film. I found that the book is very accurate, although it did not have a complete listing of the magazines in which she had been featured. I have several magazines,of Ginger Rogers, that were not mentioned.
Overall, this is a very accurate book and a "must have" for a true Ginger Rogers fan.
