She appeared in the original Broadway stage version of "The Band Wagon", in which she danced with
Fred Astaire.
Ginger Rogers met Astaire in New York in the early 1930s and saw Astaire in the original stage production of the show. She was enraptured by his dancing with Tilly Losch, and she wrote: "If I had known that I was going to be Fred's partner in a matter of months, I would have paid closer attention to each move and pause".
