Betty Grable was an American dancer, singer, and actress.

Her iconic bathing suit photo became the number-one pin-up girl of the World War II era. It was later included in Life 100 Photos that Changed the World. 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 calf , and ankle . Grable's legs were famously insured by her studio for $1,000,000 per leg at Lloyds of London.
