    A wonderful friend of mine had the opportunity (due to his work in the entertainment field) to meet many Hollywood celebrities. He mentioned to me several times that Betty Grable was the nicest, most down to earth celebrity he ever had the pleasure of meeting - and even got to know her a bit as a fun friend! This is a great clip - Bless Betty's good and kind heart for always!

      RivaRidge'72 she was certainly stunning, she was probably 57 here and just gorgeous. Sadly, she would die the next year at just 58. Such a talented, gorgeous lady. It’s nice to know she was a kind lady. Some people are beautiful on the outside & inside. Very few of them, but lovely to know they exist.

      Unfortunately, due to her own terrible childhood, Betty did not treat her daughters very well, which is why they were not close to her and have rarely spoken about her publicly.

    At one time these were 2 very talented, attractive, and well known performers. Here they are in their 50's and for Betty Grable, her final year. The talent was still there but they and most of their contemporaries were largely unknown outside of their generation. How unlike the 70 year rock stars you still see today. I find this video to be very poignant. Dick Haymes was the finest male singer of his era in my opinion.

    This came from 'Diamond Horseshoe' (also billed as 'Billy Rose's Diamond Horseshoe'), a 1945 Technicolor musical film starring Betty Grable and Dick Haymes, which I still adore. Betty had a beautiful polka dot yellow sundress. I remember. I guess she was feeling pretty lousy here as I think she may have been undergoing chemotherapy.

      Alot of the perfrmers then , had a good base,like most people, but were abused as children in one form or another,
      and brought that ptsd into adulthood, without the "counseling " to adress their unhealed emotional injuries,
      couple that with, that a plurallity of creative people have mental health disorders, such as bipolar,
      untreated, that's a recipe for erratic, unusual and hurtful behavior, which would be a mitigating factor.
      I think he was a good person,look at the love and kindness he's showing Betty Grable here,
      that without meaning to , made some serious mistakes, hurting others as well as himself,
      but always,even when he was young, heseemed sad about something,
      those dark issues aside,
      he was a great singer,one of my favorites, movie star gorgeous Betty Grable was a truelly one of the greatest stars as well.
