Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers in “The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle”, a 1939 American biographical musical comedy directed by H.C. Potter.

Though I’m left without my Penny
The wolf was not smart, he left me my heart
And so, I cannot go for anything
But the la belle, la perfectly swell romance
Never gonna dance, never gonna dance
Only gonna love you
Never gonna dance
FRED ASTAIRE andGINGER ROGERS inSWING TIME (1936)

SWING TIME (1936) dir. George Stevens

See the sunbeams?
Every one beams just because of you
Love’s in session and my depression
Is unmistakably through
Things are looking up
It’s a great little world we live in
Oh, I’m happy as a pup
Since love looked up at me
FRED ASTAIRE andJOAN FONTAINE inA DAMSEL IN DISTRESS (1937)

“Because we are human; because we are bound by gravity and the limitations of our bodies; because we live in a world where the news is often bad and the prospects disturbing; there is a need for another world somewhere, a world where Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers live.” – Roger Ebert

I thought I’d share this for fun. A rundown of all the Oscar nominations and wins racked up by the 16 people name-checked in Madonna’s “Vogue”.

Rita Hayworth and some co-stars: Claire Trevor in ‘Human Cargo’; Cary Grant in ‘Only Angels Have Wings’; Douglas Fairbanks Jnr in ‘Angels Over Broadway’; Fred Astaire in ‘You’ll Never Get Rich’; James Cagney in ‘The Strawberry Blonde’; Tony Martin in ‘Music in My Heart’; Brian Aherne and a ridiculously boyish Glenn Ford in ‘The Lady In Question’; Charles Boyer in ‘Tales of Manhattan’ - and Linda Darnell in ‘Blood and Sand’
