GRABLE BETTY: (1916-1973) American dancer, singer and actress, the number one pin-up girl of World War II. An excellent vintage signed and inscribed sepia 8 x 10 photograph of Grable in an iconic full-length pose wearing a tight fitting one-piece bathing suit and heels, with her back to the camera, playfully smiling as she looks over her right shoulder. Signed in red fountain pen ink to a light area of the image, ´To Herbert . Best wishes, Betty Grable´. A wonderful signed image of the legendary pin-up girl. VG

The present image was captured by photographer Frank Powolny in 1943 and released as a poster, becoming the most requested photo by G.I.s stationed overseas during World War II.
