@Dixie Paste You need a bit of common sense; applause is the universal signal of appreciation for entertainers, not for war heroes or brain surgeon or scientists or Pope's sermons or great lays. No one thinks entertainers are more important than Nobel Prize winners or brain surgeons or great war heroes, this is just the long-established way of displaying appreciation for that particular portion of society. Get a grip.

*Lucie. In the 1936 Astaire and Rogers film Follow the Fleet (costarring singer Harriet Hilliard before she married Ozzie Nelson; and in glimpses newbie Betty Grable), Lucille Ball cameoed in a long dance clip to the song "Let's Face the Music and Dance." At start of the scene, Fred is at a gambling table in a yacht surrounded by eveninggowned lovelies, Lucille to his immediate left. They all smile and approve as he wins, but the moment his luck downturns, they raise their elegant noses in the air and desert him. In the next scene he's on deck of the yacht, where a ballgowned Ginger strolls to the ship side and steps up a parapet, about to jump off in despair. Fred rushes to her side, seizes her hand and pulls her to the dance floor, where he engages her in a slow mutually consolatory dance to uplift her mood. Meanwhile the trio of earlier seen young lady "swans" glides by (Lucy in the middle, the tallest) and continue their snub of him. Fred and Ginger segue into a great dance sequence. But in other late '30s and early '40s films, Lucy was featured as a dancer, as in a beautiful and funny stage sequence 1940 of her "Doin' the Jitterbug Jive," at start of which she tosses off her mink coat. I read somewhere that Lucy and Ginger were third or so cousins.

To think that Ginger and Lucy were both 60 years old here and knocked it out of the ballpark! And Lucie did an amazing job, too. Also amazing to think that Lucy got her start as a background extra on Ginger's movies! She had a bit part as a fashion show model in "Roberta" in 1935, then a first speaking part (one line) on "Top Hat" also in 1935, and then a small part as one of Ginger's friends on "Follow the Fleet", made at the end of 1935 and premiered in early spring of 1936, thanks to Ginger and Ginger's mom, Lela, who was Lucy's acting teacher at RKO. The ladies were friends all their lives. Awesome! Two amazing women.

What a classic and memorable scene and such a catchy song to dance to, even the audience was enjoying the 1920s era dance number and what a great trio to do it too with Lucille Ball, Ginger Rogers, and Lucie Arnaz. From what I read, Ginger Rogers and Lucille Ball had a decades-long friendship that began back when Ginger's mother helped both of the two women achieve their full potential in their acting careers. Very talented and professional women. So awesome to see them both in their sixties and still having the spunk they had in their younger years especially Ginger who was perhaps one of the most talented dancers Hollywood every knew.

The most beautiful part of Ginger’s Charleston here is at the very beginning. She begins slowly and pulls her audience in with some very slight hand movements and an infectious eye twinkling at 0.33-0.34. Then she ups her game showing us her amazing dancing. I’ve watched this clip several times just to see those beginning hand movements and eye twinkling. A truly gifted professional who has never been topped.

I'm 73, so I lived through the early TV era. I never really clicked with much of the humor back then. (My favorite humorists/comedian of that era was Ernie Kovacs.) I recognized Lucy's talent as an actress, too, but never warmed to her serious roles. As I recall, her politics didn't jibe with mine, either. For years, I didn't have a lot of respect for her, just because she wasn't my cup of tea. (I never much cared for Burt Lancaster, Jimmy Cagney, and some others, either.) But I came to respect her to infinite depths when I learned that she had bet almost her entire fortune on "Star Trek" (the original series). She lost control of DesiLu productions because she insisted on continue back of that show, which obviously made 100s of $Millions for its later owners. She stuck by her people and didn't give up on them or what she believed in. That takes real courage and genuine caring. Here's to Lucy!!!

Wow that was so cool! To see Ginger Rogers after all those years. And still got the dance moves! And then her and Lucille Ball still able to move like that together so well at an older age. Talent all the way.

"Ginger Rogers' fame had an early start and was possibly all thanks to the dance craze of the 1920s - the Charleston. As The Washington Post details, in 1925, Rogers won a dance competition in Texas. The 14-year-old wowed judges and was crowned the "Charleston Champion of Texas."

Thanks for mentioning that! Ginger's doing a foreshortened version of her Charleston deleted from Roxie Hard (1942). I remember this Lucy Show episode as a child thinking it was wierd, but seeing it now it's just totally precious!!

I've heard about the Charleston but I don't think I've actually seen it, it's like the precursor to the Macarena or the Cha-Cha Slide. And Ginger Rogers is like a real-life Disney princess.

Both Lucille Ball & Ginger Rogers were 60 years old in 1971, when this episode played on TV. Ginger's legs were gorgeous, even at that age & as she got older. Not surprising for someone who danced her whole life...Loved this! Thanks for the post...Red

They met before "Stage Door" and Ginger's mother ran a group to help young performers get roles; Lucille also did the same at Westinghouse - Desilu Studios - that is when she met Robert Osbourne and recommended he go into the commentary side of the acting business - advice he followed.
