Actress Profile
Betty Grable (December 18, 1916 – July 2, 1973) was an American dancer, singer, and actress . Her iconic bathing suit photo made her the number-one pin-up girl of the World War II era . It was later included in the Life magazine project "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[citation needed] 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 .[citation needed] She was born Elizabeth Ruth Grable in St . Louis, Missouri to John Conn Grable (1883-1954) and Lillian Rose Hofmann (1889-1964) . She was the youngest of three children. Most of Grable's immediate ancestors were American, but her distant heritage was of Dutch, Irish, German and English stock. She was propelled into the acting profession by her mother. For her first role, as a chorus girl in the film Happy Days (1929), Grable was only 12 years old (legally underage for acting), but, because the chorus line performed in blackface, it was impossible to tell how old she was. Her mother soon gave her a make-over which included dyeing her hair platinum blonde. For her next film, her mother got her a contract using a false identification. When this deception was discovered, however, Grable was fired. Grable finally obtained a role as a 'Goldwyn Girl' in Whoopee! (1930), starring Eddie Cantor. Though Grable received no billing, she led the opening number, "Cowboys." Grable then worked in small roles at different studios for the rest of the decade, including the Academy Award-winning The Gay Divorcee (1934), starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, where she was prominently featured in the number "Let's K-nock K-nees". .
