An Original Vintage Color 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Still (Learn More) Betty Grable was an actress from the 1930s to the 1950s, often appearing in romantic musicals. Some of her movies include: Million Dollar Legs, Tin Pan Alley, Moon Over Miami, and Down Argentine Way. She is perhaps best remembered for her famous sexy legs, and one of her pin-up images, which was one of the absolute most popular ones displayed by soldiers during World War II (at one time, her legs were insured for $1,000,000 by Lloyds of London!). She was married to actor Jackie Coogan, and then later to bandleader Harry James (with whom she had two children). She passed away in 1973 at the age of 56 AND Dick Haymes was an actor from the 1930s to the 1970s. He was born in 1918, and was a singer as a teenager. He wanted to become a songwriter, and he met Harry James, who instead hired him as his featured vocalist. He also worked with Benny Goodman and Tommy Dorsey, before becoming a solo performer. He appeared in a number of musicals in the 1940s. He had a really wonderful voice, but was a somewhat bland performer, and didn't have great success in the movies. He also didn't have great success romantically, having six wives, including Joanne Dru and Rita Hayworth. He was an alcoholic and had great financial difficulties, but he still lived until 1980, when he passed away at the age of 71. He is not remembered in the same way as other great singers of his era, like Frank Sinatra, but in his day, he was a really major singing star! Important Added Info: Note that this still measures 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm]. Condition: good to very good. There is a tiny area of surface paper loss in the middle right edge of Grable's hair and a few tiny scuffs around the edges of the still. Otherwise, it is in pretty nice condition.
