They have appeared at such iconic events as the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and the Super Bowl and on TV shows like America’s Got Talent and Night of 100 Stars. The Rockettes are taking a moment to reflect on their favorite stardust memories.

I just loved music. One day, the TV was playing an old movie starring Ginger Rogers, and, for the first time, I walked. I walked to the TV and kissed it and said to my mom, “Mommy, pretty.”</p><p>As I was telling Ginger my story, her mouth was wide open with such a heart-warming grin on her face, which I will never forget.</p><p>“You see, Darlene?” Ginger said. “You didn’t even realize it. You had a dream as a baby to be a dancer and to work with me. And you did. Dreams can come true and remember to stay true to your passion.”</p><p>Not only did I grow up to become a Rockette, but I was also able to star in a performance with a kind, elegant, sweet and talented woman who showed me never to give up on my dreams.</p><p><em>Darlene Wendy Frank was a Rockette from 1980 to 1997. She currently resides in Forest Hills, New York.</em></p></div></div></div></div></article></div><footer
