YouTube Gem: Ginger Rogers and Lucille Ball Dance the Charleston

When I quickly researching Stage Door last night, I stumbled upon this glorious YouTube gem. From 1971, it is Ginger Rogers and Lucille Ball dancing the Charleston in the sitcom Here’s Lucy. It is pure bliss. Enjoy.

I’ve watched this a few times now and Ginger’s line as she leaves, “Please, please become a Katharine Hepburn fan,” just makes me giggle with delight. Even more having watched Stage Door, which stars all three actresses, just last night.

And how does Ginger’s Charleston above compare to her Charleston in Roxie Hart from 1942? It is pretty damn good.
