Beautiful vintage 9.25 x 12.25-inch black and white portrait dating to the late 1930s, looking lovely in her prime, boldly signed and inscribed in blue 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.
