G51-04-Ginger Rogers Laugh.wav

Ginger Rogers' laugh. Woman laughing slowly. Drawn out laughter that is close and intimate. Seems to be wild sound outtakes from the film "Carefree".

These are high-quality copies of Hollywood original optical and mag effects from the 1930s through the '60s, transferred to full-track tape by USC Cinema. I have digitized them for preservation, but they have not all been restored and may have some noise.

@Craig Smith, you're a hero. Thanks for preserving these sounds.

This is wild track that was recorded for the film CAREFREE (1938). Nothing on this clip was used, though the audible splices probably indicate places where bits were taken out and used in the film.

Although labeled "Ginger Rogers", I originally doubted that it was. But one of my brilliant students found that Carefree used very similar "hypnotized" laughter.

Since it was never part of a copyrighted work, it has fallen into public domain. Outtakes aren't given any legal attention, much like film trailers. So yes, it's CC-0.

Is this really CC-0?
