Ginger was 64 when she made this appearance. Truly classy and wonderful lady. My absolute favorite.

[@hellokitty777able]

She aged beautifully. I mentioned that, in another thread, a few years back.

[@oscar646]

I believe, also Ann Frank’s favorite, which I find so very touching.

[@Seratan144]

Me too! She is wonderful!

[@Cward303]

Mine too! She was the full package and then some!

[@Joe_Hill_030]

What a talented host with class! Miss that style today.

[@OuterGalaxyLounge]

The jazzy segues by the band and bumper cards on the old Carson were so sophisticated and cozy feeling. Really miss that.

[@bellebeauty67]

I just had the sweetest smile on my face, a rich emotional response the entire performance of Ginger singing…extra extra lovely ❤

[@dwderp]

I’ll always be glad that I was alive at the same time as these breathtakingly great people.

[@francobina]

Quite honestly this performance brought tears to my eyes. I have no idea why. So classy and elegant, such a nuanced control yet rooted so deeply in real emotion. I have always been a huge fan of Ginger's and this only intensified it. Thanks for posting this!

[@barbaramcelhiney5934]

I recommend reading her auto bio. Five hundred pages and every chapter fascinating!

[@EK-fl8yz]

I’ve never seen an interview with Ginger Rogers .Fabulous….Thank you ❤

[@bobgastreichCars71]

The lovely and sexy GingerRogers dancing with JC and singing. What memories. So nice someone put this out, just one time.

[@lelawessner3345]

That is a beautiful woman with great class. He was a great actress also.

[@darthpc2503]

She is such a sweetheart! 💗💗💗

[@Sarasdad91]

Gingers mother Lela, I understand, was an incredible woman, and responsible for bringing, not just Ginger, but Lucille Ball and other girls to RKO that helped build the studio.

[@lindakucma9840]

Wow, I love her outfit....Such Grace, and her dancing with Freda Astaire was Heaven scent and mesmerizing. Linda

[@MadlenDuval]

Absolutely gorgeous Ginger looks here even better than in her youth. Her dress is beyond any words. Women of those years had exquisite taste and manners. Unfortunately it's all gone now. This video is a real gift. Thanks a lot.

[@Dpb-236]

It's Hollywood system, Training the actor.. it's got many good point. That have been 😊 their all life.

[@Dpb-236]

A handful of stars had all they needed was a commercial system around Hollywood, a good variety of now-defunct stores, rich and beautiful food, and so on. They hate the Hollywood system, but education on manners and other basic knowledge must have had a lifelong influence on them.

[@elainerinaldi-tt6kg]

Great, thanks to a.hollywood we'll never have again..all gone. Too bad.

[@pstick9934]

Yes , happened to watch an old movie with mcqeen , baby the rain must fall , with LEE REMICK as costar , what a beauty , classic look and great actress .

[@emmgeevideo]

My friend, Ginger "had some work done". Of course she looked good. The best face and breasts that money could buy.

[@johnflynn9619]

Ginger was a Doll. RIP

[@Twentythousandlps]

She sings a Gershwin song that Astaire originally sang to her.

[@philiphoffman4740]

Now, that is a star!!

[@DavidLee-rx6uo]

During WW2 she invited GIs to her ranch. My uncle went and he said she was a class act. She spent time with everyone.

[@jay-zeelterbilinsky3977]

Very talented

[@BradHoover-m1i]

At 64 yo and STILL gorgeous!!

[@Mushu342]

Gorgeous lady.

[@MrJoeybabe25]

I've heard it said that Ginger had it even harder than Fred. She had to know all of the steps and then do them BACKWARDS!

[@williamryan1772]

In heels

[@hellokitty777able]

Love that outfit. Classy.🤗

[@genniferkelly]

❤ Johhy Carson.. My aunt got me into a lot of old shows and movies growing up... They really don't make these shows anymore 😢 how I miss the 70s and the 80s.. WISHING EVERYONE A WONDERFUL AND SAFE AND HEALTHY 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND 🥰😁🤗🎉🎉

[@hawktchr8]

How can this be almost 50 years ago?

[@jillkjv3816]

Yay Ginger!!! ❤😍🥰

[@permijitdunkley1697]

Ginger Rogers year 2023; work from above ^ µ

[@michaelcullen5308]

She had some great stories to tell, I wish he had let her speak.

[@terry4137]

Those were the days!

[@robertallen6710]

I'm glad this total class act isn't alive to see what her America has become...🧐

[@helbitkelbit1790]

You are correct Robert...

[@avifalco]

Same age as Lucille ball but didn't smoke and drink

[@dougfredricks2017]

She believes in the Bible. How refreshing

[@jamsid33]

they dont make stars like her anymore

[@filipeferpe]

Afi legend . ❤ ginger

[@jakela671]

Ginger was 65 here. Wow.

[@akrenwinkle]

After Ginger's "six day" schtick, Johnny realized she was nuts, but handled it brilliantly, let it pass.

[@freedomforever6718]

Ginger Rogers was a class act.

[@barrybrown9104]

Boys and Girls that's the definition of class and true Hollywood.....

[@timsullivan4687]

This woman is the definition of "Hollywood Royalty"

[@sjtom57]

Way back when late night TV had class.

[@gouhanki5181]

Pat Boone, the perfect gentleman when she comes back after dancing with Johnny, he stands up again

[@RobertEllis-e7p]

People don't realize how hard these dancers work to perfect their craft. By the time you see the finished product on the big screen, hours and hours of stretching and practicing intricate dance moves nave been spent making it look so effortless. Much respect to all those magnificent dancers, like Ginger Rogers.

[@connieostroha8423]

OMG - how beautiful in that periwinkle gown! What woman would not want to wear it! Glamorous Ginger Rogers who did fabulous dramas as well as musicals!

[@richardgornalle4536]

A star in the true sense of the word. She is a STAR!

[@lovefromacrossthepond4567]

The genuine article! Such a warm and positive person.

[@endtimes2100]

Such a talented and beautiful woman.

[@lindadavis3728]

Ginger is everything you look for in a performer, just everything. Great performance.

[@oscar646]

A doll as a younger woman and a doll as a divine woman of a certain age! I’m mad for her.

[@janetduncan87]

Classy and elegant lady. Sweet spoken.

[@helbitkelbit1790]

Can you imagine Ginger covering herself with a bunch of hideous tattoos ??? Think of how far we have sunk .

[@hnc52]

What I miss most is celebrities dressing up when appearing on tv . Now we get Cardi B or or celebs showing up as if they just rolled out of bed,

[@genniferkelly]

Simply gorgeous...Ginger Rogers one classy lady...thats what we call class and teue hollywood...

[@MichaelCrouch-iy1yf]

That's very Christian Science. God created the heavens and the earth in 6 days. God created us in 6 days but actually we were all in God's Mind; Spirit before creation through Jesus Christ. We already existed with God in Spirit in Christ.

[@davidsheppard1362]

I saw Ginger Rogers on The London Stage many many years ago. I was just a kid. I was overawed. I have a signed photograph.

[@20alphabet]

Pure American class... unlike the decay brought by savages.

[@AlcibiadesMD]

💯 In agreement, today’s society is in a total decline, sadly at the verge of collapse.

[@helbitkelbit1790]

Get back in the kitchen Hop Sing !!.......chop-chop , Hoss is hungry

[@indyanna5683]

Ginger Rogers! HOT!

[@mp2040]

Ginger always reflected the classic glamorous star style of old Hollywood which unfortunately is long gone and replaced with over paid celebrity show offs who need to air all their dirty washing to stay in the public eye because of a lack of real talent.

[@pmafterdark]

Such a classy and talented lady, and a real hottie back in the day. 😉

[@elidavega294]

I LOVE GINGER AND FRED FOREVER❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@issues9828]

Woman could dress.

[@grahamflowers]

Ginger and Fred were dating for nine months before Ginger whent into the movies this song is all about how they met in Girl Crazy theatre production and went on dates and danced together till 3 in the morning regards Graham

[@MeeMawTx]

I agree. The line, "The way you changed my life", was profoundly true. First,for the way their personal partnership in New York, then their professional partnership in Hollywood changed BOTH their lives for the better.

[@jmartin4204]

This was aired two days after I was delivered from Macy's New York to a hospital in Kingston , Jamaica . Should not be showing my age really

[@MichaelCrouch-iy1yf]

I met Ginger Rogers in Palm Springs November 1992! Her autobiography influenced me to study Christian Science.

[@elizabetholiviaclark]

My mother was a Christian Scientist as long as I can remember. She parted company with the Episcopal church, so she and my sister went to the CS church in my hometown, while my dad and I went to the Episcopal church. Anyway, you can best believe a copy of Roger's book is in my mom's personal library.

[@jasbegs1258]

Ginger is oooozzzziiiinnnggg sexiness - looking great.

[@garyroberts9517]

O my so neat to see this beautiful lady. Has so much talent and beauty.. do not see any more.. thank you for putting this clip on Johnny's show. .

[@johnvrabec9747]

Too bad she never had kids, would have interesting to see if they would have gone into show business.

[@BradHoover-m1i]

Ginger was besties with Lucille Ball.

[@marcosalves9684]

Ginger and Astaire just too good.

[@CaesarDarias]

Lovin all the content. I previously posted a long list of music guests I would love to see here. I just want to again mention one of those names- Wes Montgomery.

[@italialibera2102]

Johnny Carson appariva come il tipico americano anni '50 della media borghesia, spocchioso e beone

[@markbirchette8740]

I wear my age with pride at 58 in August.

She didn't complete the thought.

[@terracelady]

Not a great singer but a perfect performer

[@SuperEmmitt1]

She was so talented, beyond any entertainers of today. But then she brings up the bible and I'm done.

Bwahahahaha...

[@diytom3448]

Thank you, Donald Trump Junior

[@Scorchy666]

Ginger Rogers was hard as nails but perpetuated this honey sweet public persona. She and her mother accused innocent people in Hollywood of being Communists. I love the Astaire/Rogers musicals but as a person she was vile.

[@Fbodylobby]

Elegant, classy, professional. So much better than today's entertainers

[@helbitkelbit1790]

I agree with that !!
