Jon, I am probably as obsessed with Ginger Rogers as you are with Ms. Ziemba. I knew about the production of Babes in Arms that Ginge directed... I however have NOT seen the picture of her and Karen. Do you know where I can find myself a copy of that???
(Have I mentioned I own over 40 of Ginger's movies? Doubles of some... right, I told you, obsessed.)

The Ginger Rogers photo appeared in the late lamented Theatre Week Magazine in a tribute to Rogers after she died. I was always sure that someone on the editorial staff was obsessed with Karen, because it seemed they managed to get a picture of her into every single issue. If there was an opening night party for some show, and Karen was there, her photo made it into Theatre Week.
