Betty Grable performed as a chorus-line dancer in the 1930’s musicals, then was featured in musicals such as “Down Argentine Way (1940)”.  Noted for her shapely legs, she became a top star and a favorite pin-up girl of the troops in World War II.  In fact, hosiery specialists of the era often noted the ideal proportions of her legs which prompted her famous legs to be insured through her studio with Lloyd’s of London for $1,000,000. After the war, she starred in films such as “How To Marry a Millionaire (1953)”, but as the film musicals fell into decline…so did her career.
