TCM March Star Of The Month

Guess who TCM chose as their Star Of The Month for March 2010? That's right, Ginger Rogers. An it's about time! I have seriously waited for her to be SOTM for 2 years people!! I am super excited, even though I've already seen all the movies the're showing. Hopefully there will be a lot of little extras, like those segments where they have co-tars or people who knew them talk about the SOTM or what it was like working with them etc. Because I've never seen one of those on Ginger yet.

And I LOVE the Now Playing cover, too. That photo is one of my favorites, and the even chose pink for the fon color. (Pink was Ginger's favorite color, if you didn't know).


Every Wednesday in March starting 8 PM Eastern on March 10 and running through April 1, TCM will be showing Ginger Rogers films. Here's the schedule:

Though they're missing a few of my favorites (I'll Be Seeing You & Monkey Business) I know I'll be tuning in. Even though I have seen most of these 50 times already, it's still enjoyable to watch them on TV. I do wish they were showing Dreamboat & Harlow though, because I haven't seen those yet. Still, I've never seen The First Traveling Saleslady so I'll get to see that one. Mabe TCM doesn't have the right to the other two films? Hmmm, I don't know, but either way Wednesday's are going to be marvelous next month for sure.
