“I like to do something with snap to it. I don’t know why I should prefer more peppy roles, but that’s the way I’m constituted. I’ve tried often enough to get romantic leads in serious productions, but people don’t seem to think of me that way.” – Ginger Rogers in 1932Photo: Elmer Fryer (1933)

“You’re not a man - you’re not even a good sample.”
~Barbara Stanwyck in Ten Cents A Dance(1931)
