Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire
"Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did but backwards and in heels."
---------------------------------------------???
Treasurer Ann Richards from Texas made mention he quote in her1988 keynote address at a Democratic convention. Treasurer Richards thought she got the line from TV journalist Linda Ellerbee. Ellerbee said she got it from a passenger on an airplane. Former President Ronald Regan is said to have used the gag before Richards. It has also been attributed to Republican politician Faith Whittlesey. Some say the words came from Ginger Rogers herself. In her autobiography Rogers states that she saw the quote in a 1982 Frank and Earest comic strip.
