A tribute to Betty Grable:
A tribute to Betty Grable:
The Queen Of Technicolor, The Pin Up Girl,
The Girl With The Million Dollar Legs...
In the 1940's, she was the highest paid star in Hollywood,
During WW2 she was the number one pin up girl,
20th Century Fox insured her perfect legs for a million dollars,
She was married to bandleader Harry James for 22 years.
In 1943, 1944, 1947 and 1948 she was number 1
at the box office, and she appeared on the list every
year throughout the 40's - she holds the
record for continuous years on the top box office draw list.
Betty is one of the greatest stars of Hollywoods golden age,
she could sing, dance, act, she was a brilliant comedienne and one of the most beautiful women in the world.
She really had something that nobody else had. And she was also a very down to earth, sweet, funny person that everyone loved to work with.
She is most remembered for starring in so many great Fox technicolor musicals, like Pin Up Girl, The Dolly Sisters, Moon Over Miami, Coney Island, Down Argentine Way, Springtime In The Rockies, Sweet Rosie O'Grady,
That Lady In Ermine, The Shocking Miss Pilgrim, The Beautiful Blonde From Bashful Bend...
And she made four movies with pal Dan Dailey, they are one of the greatest team-ups in movie history, and it was their 'Mother Wore Tights' that was Betty's favorite of all her movies. They loved working together and were good friends for the rest of their lives.
" Betty was big...how big is big?...Betty was the biggest! "
---Debbie Reynolds
"Comedy is the most difficult of acting tasks. Goodness knows how a star like Betty Grable can make people laugh, cry and set their feet tapping - all in one film. That takes talent."
--- Ava Gardner
"She was one of the most natural dancers I had ever worked with. She was what I called an intuitive dancer, and always ready to adapt to any new style."
--- Dan Dailey
"Betty Grable was a funny, outgoing woman, totally professional and easy."
---Lauren Bacall
"I had the best of both worlds. A family and a career. And millions of friends all over the world."
---Betty Grable
"Somehow I will never be able to believe she is gone... Those beautiful legs, and the pin-up blonde looks,
still dancing and dazzling whenever they show her old wartime movies on the television screen.
Betty Grable was a star, and there will never be another one like her. When she went, they destroyed the mould!"
