Betty Grable (18 December 1916 – 2 July 1973) was an American actress, pin-up girl, dancer, model, and singer.
Her Place at the Table
Her 42 films during the 1930s and 1940s grossed more than $100 million; for 10 consecutive years (1942–1951) she reigned in the Quigley Poll’s top 10 box office stars list. – adapted from Wikipedia
As a box draw, Betty Grable
Had a run that was strikingly stable,
And though the G.I.s
Were enthralled with her thighs,
She transcended her pinup girl label.
