She suggested using a monocle and this also set her apart. One song she popularized in the film was the now famous, “We’re in the Money.” Also in 1933 she was in 42nd Street (1933). She did not have top billing, but her beauty and voice was enough to have the public want more. But the movie that enamored her to the public was Gold Diggers of 1933 (1933). The following year she began to get better parts in films such as Office Blues (1930) and The Tip-Off (1931). For a while she did both movies and theatre. Later that year, Ginger appeared, briefly in two more films, A Day of a Man of Affairs (1929) and Campus Sweethearts (1930). Her first film was in 1929: A Night in a Dormitory (1930). She went to New York where she appeared in the Broadway production of Top Speed which debuted Christmas Day, 1929. She acquired an agent and she did several short films. She married in March, 1929 and, after several months, realized she had made a mistake. She also appeared in vaudeville acts, which she did until she was 17 with her mother by her side to guide her.
Ginger won a Charleston contest in 1925 (age 14) and a 4-week contract on the Interstate circuit. He was transferred to Dallas and Ginger (who treated him as a father) went, too. After leaving the Marines, they married in May, 1920 in Liberty, Missouri. During this time, her mother met John Rogers. Lelee became a Marine in 1918 and was in the publicity department and Ginger went back to her grandparents in Missouri. McMath found herself with an income good enough to where she could send for Ginger. Ginger’s mother left her child in the care of her parents while she went in search of a job as a scriptwriter in Hollywood and later to New York City. She was kidnapped by her father several times until her mother took him to court. She had a baby earlier in their marriage and he allowed the doctor to use forceps and the baby died. Her mother, known as Lelee, went to Independence to have Ginger away from her husband. Ginger Rogers was born Virginia Katherine McMath in Independence, Missouri on July 16, 1911.
