Fact	Made her film debut at age 13 in a Fox quickie, "Let's Go Places" in 1930. She lied about her age, stating she was 15.

Betty Grable was an American actress, dancer, and singer. She is known for her roles in musical films, such as Down Argentine Way (1940), Moon Over Miami (1941), and Footlight Serenade (1942). Grable began her career as a dancer in vaudeville, before moving to Hollywood in 1930. She signed with Fox Film Corporation, where she made her film debut in Happy Days (1930). She became one of the studio’s most popular actresses and one of the top box-office draws of the 1940s. Her dancing and physical appearance were her key selling points. She was known as the “girl with the million-dollar legs”.

Grable’s popularity continued into the 1950s. She made several comedies, including How to Marry a Millionaire (1953), which was one of her biggest box-office hits. She also appeared in dramas, such as The Farmer Takes a Wife (1953) and Betrayed (1954). She retired from acting in 1955 after she married bandleader Harry James.

Grable was born Elizabeth Ruth Grable on December 18, 1916, in St. Louis, Missouri. She was the youngest of three daughters born to Lillian Rose (née Hofmann; 1884–1973) and John Charles Grable (1880–1943), a stockbroker. She had Dutch, English, German, and Irish ancestry. Her father was a Catholic, and her mother was a Protestant. Grable grew up in a strict household and was raised as a Methodist.

Grable’s mother died when she was 11 years old, and her father married actress Helen Willis in 1928. Grable attended Soldan High School, where she took lessons in tap dancing and acting. She also took voice lessons, but she never sang professionally.

Grable began her show business career as a dancer in Broadway revues during the early 1930s. She appeared in the Ziegfeld Follies of 1934 and 1935. She also appeared in Earl Carroll’s Vanities (1935) and George White’s Scandals (1936). In 1936, she was signed to a film contract by Fox Film Corporation.

Grable made her film debut in the musical comedy Happy Days (1930). She had a small role as a flapper girl. The film was not a success, but it led to Grable being cast in other musical films.

Grable’s big break came in 1940 when she was cast as the female lead in the musical film Down Argentine Way. The film was a hit and made her a star. She followed it with another hit musical, Moon Over Miami (1941).

In 1942, Grable starred in the musical comedy Footlight Serenade. The film was another box-office hit for Grable. She also starred in the drama Song of the Islands (1942) and the musicals Pin Up Girl (1944) and Diamond Horseshoe (1945).

Grable’s popularity continued into the 1950s. She starred in the comedies How to Marry a Millionaire (1953) and Call Me Madam (1953). She also appeared in the dramas The Farmer Takes a Wife (1953) and Betrayed (1954).

Grable retired from acting in 1955 after she married bandleader Harry James. The couple had two children: Victoria Elizabeth James (born 1956) and Jessica Lily James (born 1958). Grable died of lung cancer on July 2, 1973, at the age of 56.

Quotes

#	Quote
1	[In 1942] Maybe it's a wholesome quality or an American girl quality. People write to me as if I were a sister or friend.
2	Grable played the only two straight roles of her career in 1941, "A Yank in the R.A.F." and "I Wake Up Screaming".
3	[on her November 19, 1937 marriage] I want to be Mrs. Jackie Coogan for life. [They divorced three months later]
4	[When asked if her status as new mother threatened her image] I never thought of it. If they don't like it, the devil with 'em. Fact is, I've more fan mail since, especially from servicemen telling me about their wives and babies.
5	[Concerning her and other stars' status as World War II pin-up queens] A lot of these kids don't have any women in their life to fight for - I guess what you would call us girls is kind of their inspiration. It is a grave responsibility.
6	[on Marilyn Monroe] It may sound peculiar to say so, because she is no longer with us, but we were very close. Once when we were doing that picture How to Marry a Millionaire (1953) together, I got a call on the set: my younger daughter had had a fall. I ran home and the one person to call was Marilyn. She did an awful lot to boost things up for movies when everything was at a low state; there'll never be anyone like her for looks, for attitude, for all of it.
7	My legs made me.
8	There's nothing mysterious about me.
9	[on Alice Faye] Alice is a darling. Everybody loves her.
10	The practice of putting women on pedestals began to die out when it was discovered that they could give orders better from there.
11	I'm a song-and-dance girl. I can act enough to get by. But that's the limit of my talents.
12	I'm strictly an enlisted man's girl.
13	It's loud, it's cheap, it's gaudy. It's like everything I've ever done - I LOVE IT!
14	There are two reasons why I am successful in show business and I am standing on both of them.
15	You're better off betting on a horse than betting on a man. A horse may not be able to hold you tight, but he doesn't wanna wander from the stable at night.
16	The woman's vision is deep-reaching, the man's far-reaching. With the man the world is his heart, with the woman the heart is her world.

Facts

#	Fact
1	Died five days before Veronica Lake.
2	Had appeared with John Payne in five films: College Swing (1938), Tin Pan Alley (1940), Footlight Serenade (1942), Springtime in the Rockies (1942) and The Dolly Sisters (1945).
3	She was offered the Anne Baxter role in The Razor's Edge (1946) but turned it down. Baxter ultimately won an Oscar as Sophie MacDonald.
4	At one point during the 1940s, Grable reportedly earned $300,000 a year, making her one of the world's highest paid women. Her films earned over $15 million for 20th Century Fox.
5	Very early in her career, she sang with the Ted Fiorito Band. According to Grable: "The only trouble was I couldn't sing.".
6	While attending Hollywood Professional School, she developed a musical act with friend Emlyn Pique, who later took the name Mitzi Mayfair.
7	Made her film debut at age 13 in a Fox quickie, "Let's Go Places" in 1930. She lied about her age, stating she was 15.
8	Samuel Goldwyn considered her seriously for Guys and Dolls (1955), but when her dog broke its leg, Grable canceled an appointment with him. A miffed Goldwyn then gave the original Adelaide, former Fox co-worker Vivian Blaine, the role.
9	When Shelley Winters bowed out of Pickup on South Street (1953), a pregnant Grable turned down the offer of starring in the film noir, and the role went to Jean Peters.
10	She appeared with former Fox co-star Dick Haymes as presenters at the 1972 Oscar ceremony.
11	Betty's famous pin-up pose (in bathing suit, back to the camera, smiling over her right shoulder) was taken that way because she was pregnant and it showed. They felt that showing her from the front would not be in good taste.
12	She was a lifelong Republican and conservative.
13	Inducted into the St. Louis Walk of Fame in 1990 and the Hall of Famous Missourians in 2009.
14	Her stepson, Tim James, was an attorney working with the then Attorney General of Texas and became responsible for enticing television personality Marvin Zindler of Houston to investigate the famous Chicken Ranch brothel in La Grange, Texas - eventually closing it down. The story became the basis of the Broadway and movie musical The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982).
15	In Italy, her films were often dubbed by Rosetta Calavetta and Dhia Cristiani. She was occasionally dubbed by Lidia Simoneschi and Clelia Bernacchi.
16	In How to Marry a Millionaire (1953), her character makes a pointed reference to Harry James while listening to the radio at the lodge (Grable was married to him at the time). The song playing on the radio is "You'll Never Know", from Hello Frisco, Hello (1943), and was sung in the film by Alice Faye. It won the Academy Award as Best Song in 1943 (Source: AMPAS).
17	She and Harry James had two daughters: Victoria Elizabeth James (born March 3, 1944) and Jessica James (born May 20, 1947).
18	Portrayed by Jayne Mansfield in the biography The George Raft Story (1961). However, at the time she was not public domain so the character's name was changed to Lisa.
19	Singer-songwriter Neil Sedaka's song "Betty Grable" was totally dedicated to her memory.
20	Did Playtex 18-hour Shortie commercials in the 1960s using her famous pin-up pose -- purportedly because she needed the money after her husband had spent her savings.
21	She was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6525 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California on February 8, 1960.
22	Suffered from "demophobia" (fear of crowds) and was a somnambulist (sleepwalker).
23	Voted Best Figure of 1941.
24	Niece of actor Vinton Hayworth.
25	Was one of the 20 original The Goldwyn Girls, among whom were Lucille Ball, Virginia Bruce, Ann Dvorak and Paulette Goddard.
26	Following her death, she was interred at Inglewood Park Cemetery in Inglewood, California.
27	In 1946-1947, the Treasury Department noted that she was the highest paid woman in America, receiving $300,000 a year.
28	In the late 1940s, 20th Century Fox insured her legs with Lloyds of London for a quarter million dollars.
29	Ex-husband Harry James died on what would have been their 40th anniversary.
