<p dir="auto">Hello. Im turning 25 this year and Ive always been a movie buff. Back in 2011 something terrible happened ( sorry, I dont want to say what it was ) and it impacted me and my family greatly. I used to cry every single day and I even considered ending my life. Then out of the blue I came across a video on youtube of Ginger and Fred danci5b4ng,  Cheek to Cheek , and I dont know what happened but that scene somehow changed my life and I smiled for the first time in several months. Then I rented their movies, not all unfortunately, and it was one of the greatest things that happened to me. I never thought about suicide again since mid 2012 and every time Im sad I watch them and I stay happy the rest of the day.<br />
I realize they passed away but Id really love if I could contact someone that met them in person and let them know how Fred and Ginger literally saved my life.<br />
Sorry any mistakes, english isn't my first language.</p>

<p dir="auto">Very touching story<br />
because G Rogers<br />
and F Astaire<br />
have been very professional<br />
throughout their careers<br />
separate and together<br />
together and separate<br />
and at points in between<br />
Never met em<br />
but that would have been great<br />
because G Rogers<br />
and F Astaire<br />
would have been great to meat<br />
on screen or off screen<br />
Even G Rogers<br />
and F Astaire<br />
have said that fans mistake em<br />
for being a couple off screen<br />
but they clarified that<br />
by marrying a bunch of others<br />
Where were we<br />
oh back to G Rogers<br />
a real<br />
all around<br />
entertainer<br />
even when she was not<br />
entertaining<br />
but when she was<br />
entertaining<br />
then G Rogers is unbeatable<br />
she could sing<br />
she could dance<br />
she could do comedy<br />
she could do drama<br />
she could even do interviews<br />
Nobody could do all that<br />
except for G Rogers<br />
and maybe F Astaire<br />
P Goddard<br />
V Mayo<br />
J Garland<br />
Gn Kely or<br />
Gn whatshisname Nelson<br />
Okay so G Rogers interviews<br />
are a little mean sometimes<br />
mean to the ladies<br />
mean to the men<br />
and even mean to her exes<br />
but that's Hwood for ya<br />
where even L Ball was affected<br />
by breaking ups and downs<br />
How great to hear<br />
that G Rogers<br />
F Astaire<br />
and probably L Ball<br />
who appears in T Hat<br />
have saved another life<br />
and then there's Church<br />
to keep up the good work<br />

<p dir="auto">Thank you for your support. To be honest I was afraid to tell my story cause I thought you guys would judge me.<br />
I should have mentioned before that my dad was born in 1934 and he watched their movies shortly after they were released. Now that I think about it,he tried to introduse me to their movies but I wasn't into musicals back then. Silly me.<br />

<p dir="auto">and BTW, my mom lives next door to a lady who met Ginger back in the early 70's when she was promoting her clothing line at J.C. Penney I talked to her once about it, but really not much info, other than the lady said Ginger seemed real nice sigh</p>

<p dir="auto">wowa heavy story with a great ending Life is great, even when it's not so great one cannot fathom the experiences, trials, traumas, and tragedies an individual endures, but keep faith that there IS a Higher Power watching over us all even when it doesn't seem that way<br />
as for Ginger and Fred, I think we Gingerologists are VERY aware of your feelings regarding how they affect one's persona SO much for the better. Keep in mind that in the 'general sense', G&amp;F were so popular in a time when things were quite rotten (Great Depression, or the hangover from it, at least), so their joyous syncopation was an exhilarating escape for those folks who got to view the premiere of these classic films and they STILL affect folks in a MOST beguiling way!!!<br />
And it DOES make you feel better!<br />
Praying for you and yours, my friend and fellow Gingerologist!<br />
Keep It Gingery!!! (KIG!)<br />
Sincerely,<br />

<p dir="auto">I never met either of them, but I hope someone who did meet them sees your post here and replies. What a wonderful story, and thank you for sharing it. I believe that Ginger - and Fred, too - would have been happy to know that their movies continue to make such an impact. <img src="https://filmglance.com/discuss/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f642.png?v=8570fb93240" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--slightly_smiling_face" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":)" alt="🙂" /></p>

<p dir="auto">Hi Salo Marc,<br />
All the best to you as you continue to heal.  I note from your history that you are busy writing school papers on 'Persona,' 'Into the Wild,' John Ford' and others.  These tasks must be a comfort to you.  We, Gingerologist, frequently check into this board and I hope someone who met Ginger and Fred in person will visit this board and respond.<br />
K.I.G.</p>
