"...Everything Fred Astaire did...."

Nobody - not even Ginger Rodgers backwards in high heels - did what Fred Astaire did.

I know it's a nice line, and I do truly admire the sentiments you express, but unfortunately - it just ain't true.

Ginger Rogers was an adequate hoofer, but Fred Astaire was incomparable.
