She was born Virginia Katherine McMath, but the world would come to know
her--and love her--as Ginger Rogers: Broadway star, Academy Award-winning
actress, and the ultimate on-screen dancing partner of the inimitable Fred
Astaire. In Ginger: My Story, the legendary entertainer shares the triumphs of a

some of Hollywood's major leading men, including Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, and
damaged daredevil billionaire Howard Hughes; and the strength of her religious
convictions that got her through thick and thin.
