    Absolutely amazing footage, wait til Ben E King finishes and Ginger steps it up a notch:



    Unbelievably agile for a lady of her years, don't try this at home!

    That is not Ginger Rogers, not the one who danced with Fred Astaire.

    The Ginger Rogers who danced with Red Astaire died in 1995 aged 83.

    Sadly Ginger was wheelchair bound in later years as well, a sad fate for such a vivacious performer. Her last real professsional high was as 'Mame' on stage (following Angela Lansbury, I believe).

    She appeared at the Palladium after that and couldn't sing or dance according to the crits but she was such a legend that it didn't matter.

    It just goes to show that you can't believe everything you see on t'interweb.

    Thanks for correcting the error.
