Ginger Rogers, star of 73 motion pictures, returned to the nightclub scene to open a singing engagement at the Waldorf-Astoria’s Empire Room on March 2, 1976. Her one-hour show, with four young male dancers, featured songs she made famous on the stage and screen. She was rewarded with a standing ovation from a packed house that included such ardent admirers as Andy Warhol, Marisa Berenson, Barry Manilow, and Sylvia Miles. At the post-performance party she was reunited with her cousin, Phyllis Cerf Wagner, Bennett Cerf’s widow and present wife of New York’s ex-mayor Robert Wagner.
