Beautiful vintage 10x13-inch black and white linen portrait dating to the early 1940s, looking lovely in her prime, boldly signed in black felt-tip pen for noted collector William Hosking in her later years. In good condition. In step with Fred Astaire, gorgeous, redheaded Ginger Rogers was one half of the most legendary dancing team in film history.  The two were unforgettable in magical musicals like The Gay Divorcee (1934), Top Hat (1935), Swing Time (1936), and Shall We Dance (1937).  She was also a successful dramatic actress, snagging a Best Actress Academy Award for Kitty Foyle (1940) and marvelous in Roxie Hart (1942), Tales of Manhattan (1942), It Had to Be You (1947), and other films.
