What can be said about Betty Grable that isn’t already known? It took years for Betty to reach the top. But by 1940, she was definitely there, and she was appearing in one hit musical for 20th Century Fox after another. Most of her movies were filmed in Technicolor and they almost always featured shots of her trademark legs– the legs were a large reason for her being the era’s most well-known pin-up girl. Betty’s movies did extremely well with audiences during the 40s and early 1950s. They made a lot of money for the studio, and they brought a lot of pleasure to people.

My favorite Betty Grable quote: "I've got two reasons for success,and I'm standing on both of them."
I think she underestimated her own talent. She was a very good dancer, a good comedian, and had a wonderfully silky singing voice.
