Ann Miller was 14 when this was filmed, wow! Just wow. What a talent

Katharine Hepburn, Ginger Rogers, and Lucille Ball all in one movie. And the great dancer, Ann Miller, to boot.

I was lucky to get see Ann Miller dance in her one of her last appearances. I went to a taping of Home Improvement during it's first season, so it was not popular yet and easy to get tickets and Ann Miller happened to guest star on the episode.

I love this film. Imagine Katharine Hepburn, Ginger Rogers, Lucille Ball, Eve Arden, Ann Miller and Jack Carson in the same film before most were stars.

I love Ginger's character of Jean in this movie. She roasts people so scathingly yet she's so beautiful and lovely that her insulting skills only add to her personality.

Ann Miller really was just 14 when this was shot. Watch her closely, she's just a kid. But so funny and natural. Of course Ginger Rogers was, too.

Ginger gave Ann the part, after the casters though she was to tall to dance with her. Miller's wore low heels...and I thought purposefully lets herself look more dowdy, than the huge star Ginger was at the time. This shows both Ginger's humanity and personal generosity, and Miller's gumption as a 15 year old. They remained friends all their lives. The lovely Ginger was 26 in 1937.

What makes Ginger so unique is that she could be funny and cute at the same time.

Ginger was such a relaxed and fabulous dancer, and what a gorgeous figure she had. Beautiful from head to toes.

A lot of star power in this movie.

Ginger was at one of her most beautiful in this shot...

Ann was so adorable here!

Ginger’s outfit is so cute

I didn't know Ginger and Ann had worked together. Ann a pretty talented girl

Ginger Rogers!! Good Lord... just pure talent all around. SELF MADE

This has always been my favorite Ginger Rogers scene. She looks and is amazing.

What a lovely, lanky, luscious gal Ann Miller was!

Ginger and those dancer's legs of hers....yowza !

Ginger Rogers is the queen of RomCom!!!! The queen of comedic timing, the ultimate beauty, full of talent and as beautiful and classy as it gets! I just love that woman! ❤❤❤

I agree with the poster's comments, Ginger looks so nice in that dress!

Ginger looks fabulous

Ann Miller had a stager mom so she was an old pro at 14. What a great way to play a gawky kid.

No one throws shade like Ginger in her prime!

****I find it incredible the actuality of this film, released 80 years ago, in 1937, when women still had enormous difficulties in earning a living and being financially independent. The script, based on the play by George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber, is seemingly futile for non-theatrical world, however, the variety of characters helps to enrich and make history interesting, as a human and moving drama , In which unscrupulous men use power to manipulate women. Hepburn is the rich young woman, willing to prove to the father (the corn king) that she lives in a club of actresses and that can enter the theater without support of the relatives; The blonde Rogers, in addition to displaying her talent as a dancer alongside young Ann Miller, demonstrates the talent that would turn her into a sought-after comedian. The cast also features the jokes of future TV star Lucille Ball, the great lady of the theater Constance Collier (with good scenes, but unfortunately in a small role too) and, worth noting, Gail Patrick, Eve Arden and Andrea Leeds - the only one nominated for the Oscars - notable for the sweet and distressed actress Kay Hamilton, discarded after the success by the immoral producer, lived by Adolphe Menjou, who uses the post to seduce the young actresses. His alcove scenes with drunken Rogers remind me of Marilyn Monroe and Laurence Oliver in The Prince and Showgirl. Stage Door gets relative success and Hepburn gain breath for two more movies on RKO: Bringing Up Baby and Holiday. With the commercial failure of these two productions, she would only return to the cinema in 1940, in The Philadelphia Story. Hepbun's character reminded me a bit of another part of her in Morning Glory. She is a bit clumsy at first, but she has the courage, she is supportive and generous with her colleagues, who wear her sophisticated clothes and coats. It even has a very current and politically correct joke about fur coats. The scene "The Calla Lilies are in Bloom Again" was taken from another play, which negatively marked her career in the theater. The sequel works on the film, but Kate used it as a joke, for fun.

Ann is young--but more like 16 or here. She lied to be older--and everbody has now tried to make her younger! Trust me---22 years of research and interviews with Miss Miller! Talent is extraordinary from both these dolls!!

So pretty the blonde and brown hair girl is

Ann Miller is only 14 in this.

“No, we’re getting over the D.T.s” lol

Great legs on Ginger Rogers!!!

I can't believe Ann Miller was only 14! She doesn't look 14 at all. I don't imagine myself a year ago dancing with Ginger.

I won't bet any money of her age, but according to her bio's she always had to add a couple of years to her age to be able to sign contracts and work in nightclubs, etc. She started working VERY young.

Ginger Rogers,loooong legs!

wow what a perfect body she had!

Ginger was/is my ideal--She is still the hottest wowiest that ever graced the screen=

Happy birthday Ginger ♥️♥️♥️♥️

@toober222 DTs are delirium tremens, the shakes you get from alcohol withdrawal (back then I think DTs would have meant the same thing, and it makes sense in the context of dancing). Another nickname for "the shakes" of alcoholism is "jazz hands" actually :)

both beautiful texas girls.... its something in the water down there!

Ann Miller and Ginger Rodgers are both from Texas!!

Oh, my dear, you're so young. HOURS.

unrealistic , but GREAT - in real life those two would have had him for dinner ! but WOW THE TALENT !

Ginger's style was more subtle.

*Watch Ginger Rogers and Ann Miller dance together in **_'Put Your Heart Into Your Feet and Dance'_** from Stage Door (1937)* - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mN5paqmqkrKZd4k.html

She was 14 when this was made!

Ann Miller asked to dance with Ginger and you see the results.

I want to live in the Footlights Club.

Ginger, in her prime, could curl any man's mustache!

we will never know how old Ann Miller was.

❤️

Timing, my love. Timing. . . .

Champagne, foie gras from Sarlat on fresh baguette,, assorted legumes, and then we start ALL over again!!! Of course!

Why on earth they pick a blonde back then? Ann Miller was my fave dark haired and very awsome dancer and beautiful entertainer!!!!

According to her claimed birthday. She was probably 18.

Honey, I think anyone would

0:53 😊

So do I. But probably not in the same way you do :)

oNE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES, IT SHOULD BE REMADE

@toober222 What are "the DTs"?

Oops. Sorry, hope I didn't offend. But God, I could really spend hours down there. Oh, my. . .

"Who's the little blonde?" Can't say that anymore, Adolph

Love Annie- check out my tribute here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/isudddF_x8rHeIU.html

These stars of the '30s and '40s were all virgins, who would never have dreamed of opening their legs for some Hollywood mogul . Just like the present crop. ME TOO!!!!

Ever see the famous, "Broomstick Dance" 🧹by Hillary Clinton?

creepy!

Guy acts so pervy over Ginger! Ewwww!

Ginger Rogers -- showing her lack of dance training compared to a dancer of Ann Miller's calibre. Those stiff square shoulders and terrible spins. Just shows how hard Hermes Pan had to work with her to prepare her for the Astaire dance routines.
