Betty Grable was one of the most successful singing actresses during the 1940's. She was the epitome of the all-American girl, apple pie, girl-next-door and she was loved by millions around the world, men and women alike. During World War II her legendary "one over the shoulder" pin up photo graced foot lockers and barracks to over 1,500,000 GI's who were inspired by Betty's million dollar legs. Thirty movie stills, studio promos, and wire photos span three decades of her unforgettable career (40's-60's) and include highlights such as her at The Stork Club, with Mario Lanza, with Victor Mature, appearing in "Coney Island" (1943), and during her and Harry James' divorce hearing. Overall EX-EX+ photos range in size from 7x9"to 8x10" with most wire photos having original paper or front captions.
