December 18, 1916-July 2, 1973. Betty Grable was a fantastic singer, dancer, and actress. Grable was particularly noted for having the most beautiful legs in Hollywood and studio publicity widely dispersed photos featuring them. Hosiery specialists of the era often noted the ideal proportions of her legs as: thigh (18.5") calf (12"), and ankle (7.5"). Grable's legs were famously insured by her studio for $1,000,000 with Lloyds of London. Wasn't she gorgeous?

She is utterly stunning in that first pic.

She is so beautiful, and no wonder they insured those fabulous legs for a cool million! I would have!

...now of course, Ginger's Gams are dear to me, to be sure, but Betty definitely had some awesome legs... honestly, 'THE pose' is one of the most iconic images out there...
She was a young one in a few of the Ginger and Fred movies, specifically 'The Gay Divorcee' and 'Follow The Fleet'... just extremely cute!
