    • She Had a Scandalous Claim to Fame. When the United States entered WWII, Hollywood began producing content for the Americans serving abroad. One way to cheer up the servicemen was through "pin-up" photographs of famous actresses, which they made into posters and shipped overseas.
    • She Became a Star for Two Reasons. Betty Grable earned the nickname "Million Dollar Legs," and she didn't get it for nothing. Hosiery specialists and retailers often cited her gams as having the perfect proportions for stockings, and Grable was under no illusions about what brought in the big bucks.
    • She Had a Horrific Mother. Betty Grable was an adorable, rosy-cheeked, blonde little girl. But that didn't mean her life was perfect... or even well-adjusted.
    • Her Mother Forced Her to Perform. When Lillian couldn't find any new dance class or pageant to enrol Betty in, she turned to her own friends to get her fame fix.
