@PMBroussard @TheDarkPages Wow! That's quite remarkable! Jazz royalty. (PS you're a sax player too?! There's no end to your talents!)

[Miles Eady @MilesEady]

@PMBroussard @TheDarkPages Holy cow, Paula! This is BIG news! Your links and connections are fabulous.

[Miles Eady @MilesEady]

@PMBroussard Wow chick-a-wow wow! This has made my day Paula. Absolutely love it. BTW did you see The Eddie Murphy movie Dolemite Is My Name? One of my favourites in recent years.

🌟Excited to receive my signed copy of Eleanor Powell's biography! ✍️ Took me on a sentimental journey to honor her 1948 London Palladium appearance. 🎩 💃 The book is fabulous. #EleanorPowell #TapDancingLegend #LondonPalladium #HollywoodMusicals

Decoupling Ginger from Fred - @DrMatthewSweet @BoltonsMotors @PamHutch @eggsbened @MilesEady shine the spotlight on a multi-talented Hollywood star (and her formidable mother). @BFI @BBCRadio3 https://t.co/M2BTXFNxEk

[Miles Eady @MilesEady]

This was an amazing conversation about the legendary Ginger Rogers, an honour to be in such knowledgeable, erudite and witty company. Tonight at 22.00 #GingerRogers #FreeThinking #Radio3

[David Benedict 🏳️‍🌈🕎 @eggsbened]

Strong, snappy, sassy Ginger Rogers made ten, yes, ten matchless movies with Fred Astaire.
But she made SIXTY-SEVEN without him.
Let @BoltonsMotors @PamHutch @MilesEady @DrMatthewSweet and I tell you all about her at 10pm tonight on @BBCRadio3's @BBCFreeThinking.
Have a listen!

@FilmFan1971 Spooky! Maybe it was a thing in the 1930s?

[Miles Eady @MilesEady]

@LondonMovieLoon @osborn_heather @BaranowskaAga Thanks so much, Rob, that's much appreciated. I'm genuinely thrilled too have brought some Ginger love to the table!

[Miles Eady @MilesEady]

Today, I had the huge honour of delivering "The Magic of Ginger and Fred" at the BFI - two legends who continue to inspire us with their timeless style and chemistry. 3 months researching 50 books, now I can rest. #BFI #ClassicHollywood With @osborn_heather @BaranowskaAga

[Miles Eady @MilesEady]

@PMBroussard Thanks so much, Paula!

[Miles Eady @MilesEady]

@ArtisticLeader @BFI Many thanks Martin! Glad you enjoyed the afternoon.

[Miles Eady @MilesEady]

@PMBroussard Paula you are too kind!

[Miles Eady @MilesEady]

@FilmFan1971 Totally! Ginger thought that Harriet Hoctor's performance was strange and old fashioned at the time and she also hated the multiple masks! I was surprised to find out that the masks were plaster casts of Ginger's actual face!

[Miles Eady @MilesEady]

Hold on to your Top Hats! Black and white never looked so colourful.

[Heather Osborn @osborn_heather]

Prepare to be swept off your feet.
Top Hat is re-released today at BFI Southbank and selected cinemas across the country. #gingerrogers

I very pleased to say that there's plenty more Ginger Rogers chat in part 2 of my MusicalTalk chat with the excellent Thos Ribbits @MusicalTalkThos which is out now!

[MusicalTalk Podcast @musicaltalk]

Ep 794: Ginger Rogers, Musical Film Icon 2: As the @BFI retrospective of the wide career of Gingers Rogers continues, @musicaltalkthos & @MilesEady continue their chat about the legendary Ginger and learn how she was a creative force in her own right. https://t.co/AEM6zSFkPV

[Miles Eady @MilesEady]

@MusicalTalkThos Good thinking Thos. I think you're right. Bolger had been using the legomania style for years. Amazingly he's 48 in this clip!

[Miles Eady @MilesEady]

Not sure why this popped into my head, but if you had 30 seconds to see Ray Bolger dancing with himself as both Washinton and Lincoln it's magnificent. Imagine if Bolger and Donald O'Connor ever got together. https://t.co/HZqHFhTfN4
