Who was the first actress to have her legs insured for a million dollars?

One of the most beatiful actresses of her time just ask any WWII veteran.

As a kid I sent for an autographed picture of her...She was posed in a bathing suit with her back to the camera, and a beach log post next to her. My dad stared a long time at that picture, and then announced that the log was fake!

I believe it was Loyds of London which insured her legs. Could be wrong. Got it.

Beautiful,great actress!!

Weaver Cynthia, I always did too.

my favorite paper dolls!

Why is this under “TV?”

Did she have a Life Insurance policy?

Didn't know it was a publicity stunt till now, believe it or not.

Had some Betty Grable paper dolls when I was a little girl.

You are right: Betty Grable Elizabeth Ruth "Betty" Grable (December 18, 1916 – July 2, 1973) was an American actress, pin-up model, dancer, and singer. Her 42 movies during the 1930s and 1940s grossed more than $100 million. She set a record of 12 consecutive years in the top 10 of box office stars. The Treasury Department in 1946-47 listed her as the highest-salaried American woman. She earned more than $3 million during her career. Throughout her career, Grable was a celebrated sex symbol. Her bathing suit poster made her the number-one pin-up girl of World War II, surpassing Rita Hayworth. It was later included in the Life magazine project "100 Photographs that Changed the World". Hosiery specialists of the era often noted the ideal proportions of her legs as thigh (18.5 in (47 cm)), calf (12 in (30 cm)), and ankle (7.5 in (19 cm)). Grable's legs were famously insured by her studio for $1 million as a publicity stunt.

At least proved the photo of this person & add what year they was insured.. as the question was asked, "who was the 1st". Then we can relate the others or provide any info who else had they're legs insured for that amount+ if any. I heard that Tina Turner also had her legs insured as well. Not sure if fact or fiction. But this could have been additional facts covered here..

I love watching those old movies, and Ms. Grable's are some of my favorites.

I knew 4 a fact that Taylor Swift is NOT the correct answer because she's NOT a(n) actress....yet.

DannyBoy, yes I believe it was!!

Seems you have the same name as my husband!!! Interesting!!! DannyBoy,

Annie, YES. I had two brothers in WWII.

Good variety of questions.

great Hollywood star symbol Glad the WWII guys had something to lift their spirits. Hard to beleive she was only 57 when she died. I remember her throughout all the musicals and movies of the 40's. ( Wife of harry James. ). qQUIZ NOTES & COMMENTS MADE ME FEEL REAL OLD.
