Amazing Youtube: The late Ginger Rogers dancing at 92 yo with grandson

[hlthe2b]

I saw this posted on another site (from someone contrasting the unearned accolades for Bristol Palin on DWTS)...
The sound and video are not great, but you can still be amazed at the 92 year old Ginger Rogers dancing with her grandon.

Watch it all the way through. You'll see why at about the half way mark. I think I'm bookmarking this one to motivate every time I don't feel like doing my work out. Bless you, Ginger! You were truly one of a kind.

5. Ann Richards said 'she did everything Fred Astaire did, but she did it backwards and in high heels.'

A great talent. I'm afraid she was a wingnut, though. (or at least a conservative.)

2. What a role model for healthy elderhood!!!

3. Oh, I don't care how old she is- when she tore that dress off and started doing the salsa...

...well, in my book it was hot. I would totally tap that past.

When I'm 92 I hope I can be that stylish and quick. Who am I foolin'? I'm not that stylish and quick now.

:rofl:

7. I'm A Fan Of DWTS

and Bristol Palin. I have no respect for her mother but watched the daughter develop her dancing skills. She was never a contender for the the number one spot yet earned her ranking in the upper level the dancing pool she joined.

I don't wish to portray that Bristol at the same level as Ginger Rodgers however. Ginger proved her skills time and time again. I just think others want to denigrate Bristol because of her mother.

8. When was this? Ginger Rogers died in 1996.

It looks kinda like Gigante Sabado - LOL

9. Just going from what was posted on Youtube & by the

person who posted on another website. Youtube has it titled as "Ginger Rogers dancing at 92 years old." But, it appears inaccurate, at least in terms of her being 92, if she died in late 1995 and was born in 1911 (per wiki).

So, sorry... While she was certainly up in years, it is unclear exactly how old she was at the time.
