"As any red-blooded U.S. male will testify, the sexy, well-turned legs belonging to Elizabeth Ruth Grable have been one of America's star attractions for all of twenty years now... Experts have declared her leg measurements - ankle 7.5, calf 12, thigh 18.5 - the paragon of physical proportionment; and the motion picture industry, highly mindful of all this, has produced 40 Betty Grable films largely featuring, well, her legs... The pictures have been seen by more than 200 million people, have grossed more than 100 million dollars and have been successful in inverse ratio to the amount of clothing the pin-up queen has worn."
'People who remember her from the old days insist that money and success have wrought remarkably few changes in Betty's character. With little schooling, she is still no 'brain', prefers the racetrack to the library, the comics to the editorials. She still chews gum, wears slacks and sweaters, admits she has no 'clothes sense whatever".
