"How to Marry a Millionaire" is one of my favorite movies. Betty was such a natural beauty and class act. That pinup photo of her gorgeous legs is beyond iconic. Next to Tina Turner she had the best legs in the game. Women didn't have to get naked, have extreme plastic surgeries, or be hypersexual back then in order to be viewed as beautiful and valuable. I wish Betty lived a longer life. RIP to her 🌹
Betty Grable and Harry James lived the high life, owning race horses and the like. It was reported, at one time, they were the highest earning couple in the United States. But tax rates on high earners were very high then. Harry James did lead his own band, but his talent playing the trumpet is legendary.
Sort of surprised he didn't know who Harry James was. But of course that was three generations ago, so I guess most of today's people wouldn't know of him. James is regarded as one of the best trumpet players of all times. His band was among the best of the Big Band era and wildly popular with the WWII generation. Today's stars will be forgotten as well. As for tax rates back then, income exceeding $200K (about 2M in today's money) was taxed at 91%! Yikes!
Fun fact...Betty was actually pregnant when she photographed the photo which was used on the wwII airplanes with the green bathing suit. They could not show pregnancy at that time. Betty was a cousined of mine. So as a kid i heard the stories of her when she came to Ohio. Great video. ❤ Thank you for making this.
Some mothers become obsessed with their child being becoming very successful because when they were a child that's what they wanted but for some reason or another it didn't happen so they feel that they live their dream through their child.
My favorite song as a kid used to always play when driving on highway to my relatives during the holiday in mid-late 90s and early 00s. Probably still does.
@@jct300m Oh yes. Coogan played Fester in the mid 1960s, 25 years after he was divorced from Grable. By then he was fat, bald, and struggled to get bit parts. As a kid back in the early 1920s, in silent movies, he was a very attractive young boy. .
Betty was more talented than she is credited for. As well as her musical and dance attributes, she was a fine actress with great timing and wonderfully photogenic. One of her hobbies off screen was completing puzzle books and was known to sit for as long as it took to finish every puzzle in the book. That says something about Bettys determination and work ethic which she applied so brilliantly to her work on stage, screen and in the photo studio.
A very sweet choice for a crush Lamont. Nice video. I just want to add that Harry James had a terrible gambling addiction to add to his other problems. She financed a lot of that. She was a nice lady. Rest in peace Betty
Betty Grable would be in my top 10. One of my favorites from the past is Renee Adoree. She was a French silent screen actress. She was a marquee name back then. Unfortunately her career was cut short due to contracting tuberculosis and she died. She was only in her 30s. Whenever i go to Hollywood Forever Cemetery I go to the Abbey of the Psalms Mausoleum where her crypt is and I blow her a kiss. You should do a vlog on her if you ever go back to Hollywood Forever.
Daze with Jordan the lion does beautiful work when he goes to famous people’s homes. It is very tastefully done also. I think it is all in how it is presented! Would love to see you do that!!
Isn't Carmen Miranda the girl dancing in the background of the old Bananarama video called I heard a rumor? Bananarama was a British female pop group from back in the 1980s.
In 1945 Betty Grable was at the peak of her career, she was the "Pin-Up Girl" during World War II. With her corn-blonde hair, polished pink cheeks, wall to wall smile and her "million dollar legs" made her the sweetheart of the fighting forces. When Betty Grable was signed to a long-term contract at 20th Century-Fox she was to be the replacement for Alice Faye and when they starred together in Tin Pan Alley (1940) the press expected fireworks from the two actresses but they got along very well and became close long-life friends. In fact Grable was a very down-to-earth person who never played the "Star." It was during the filming of How To Marry A Millionaire (1953) that the press expected sparks to fly between Grable and Monroe on the set of Millionaire. But Grable was incredibly kind to Marilyn, harboring no resentment towards the newest blond on the lot Grable even told Marilyn that it was her time to enjoy being the top blonde at Fox and that Grable had had the same opportunity and it was her time to shine. Betty Grable's forte was the backstage musical in which her famous legs were put on display. Betty was, at best, a sort of great American girl next door and her appeal to lonely servicemen was that of every hash-house waitress with whom they ever flirted with. Grable in her look back on her career, was hard on herself: As a dancer I couldn't out dance Eleanor Powell or Ginger Rogers. As a singer I'm no rival to Doris Day, As an actress I don't take myself seriously. I had a little bit of looks yet without being in the glamour department. Maybe I had these qualities: sincerity and warmth as these qualities are essential. I don't think I've ever had a good review (Betty's being modest she's had many). Yet almost all her films from the early 1940's did exceptionally well at the box office. Had Betty Grable wanted to, Grable might have boasted more of that box office golden glow: she really had her contemporaries beat. Grable was one of the Exhibitors' "Golden Ten" in the United States for 10 consecutive years -- four of them the Top Female draw, with Greer Garson the runner-up. The British preferred Greer Garson, and nowhere outside the U.S.A. was Grable's home popularity equaled. Grable was always bright, friendly, brash (in a good way), and comfortable to be around. She was one of the crowd. Her films earned over $15 million dollars for 20th Century-Fox back when $15 million dollars was a huge amount. When she signed a contract at 20th-Century-Fox she became a star in her first musical Down Argentine Way (1940). Grable would appear in 26 other films for Fox, 18 of them expensively mounted in Technicolor to showcase her beauty. Her stardom was an industry triumph: yet attempts to copy her image, either by her own studio or other studios were at best moderate successes, which proved again and again, if anything, while she may have been in the right at the right time, the mold she fitted was a glove no one else could wear. Like all stars she was one of kind and unique in every way. When asked about her most famous pin-up photo she told the press that she had just finished the film Sweet Rosie O’Grady (1943), and the studio needed some bathing suit pictures. Grable remembers that “the session wasn’t going too well; Frank Powolny (the photographer) was trying to achieve something different. After about a dozen shots, he told me to turn my back to the camera and he would catch my face in profile. I asked Betty if she’d like to have a back shot, just to be different, She said, "sure, why not," and began to clown around. "You want it like this?" she asked, posing. And I said, "Yeah." I made only two shots of that pose. It was the second shot that became world famous. When asked if her status as a new mother (her daughter Victoria Elizabeth James (was born March 3, 1944) threatened her image I never thought of it like that. 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. In 1947, the United States Treasury Department noted that she was the highest paid star in America, earning about $300,000 a year - a phenomenal sum even by today's standards. Later, 20th Century-Fox, who had her under contract, insured her legs with Lloyds of London for one million dollars. Elizabeth Ruth Grable was born on December 18, 1916 in St. Louis, Missouri, to Lillian Rose (Hofmann) and John Charles Grable, a stockbroker. She had German, English, Irish, and Dutch ancestry. Her mother was a stubborn and materialistic woman who was determined to make her daughter a star. Grable 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 since it was her mother's decision to lie about her age. When asked about what made her a star her response was,"There are two reasons why I am successful in show business and I am standing on both of them." On July 2, 1973, Grable died of lung cancer at age 56 (she had been a long-timer smoker) in Los Angeles, California. Her funeral was held two days later and was attended by ex-husband Harry James and Hollywood stars Dorothy Lamour, Shirley Booth, Mitzi Gaynor, Johnnie Ray, Don Ameche, Cesar Romero, George Raft, Alice Faye, and Dan Dailey. "I Had the Craziest Dream", the ballad from Springtime in the Rockies, was played on the church organ. She was entombed at Inglewood Park Cemetery in Inglewood, California.
Her house In celebrity neighborhood paradise palms in vegas is still safe 3398 Seneca Dr The one by wayne newton on Picos before sunset is now a tire works. My friend had the hearse that was used in her service.
Thanks Lamont. One of my fav actresses. Going to ask dumb question: How did they fit two coffins in the same burial plot? Looks too small to fit. Or the bodies placed in something else??
I was watching the honey boo boo show and her mother had to put so much of her earnings in a trust account due to the coogan law. She only put 20% and kept the other 80% for herself.
Shame these Parents don't know the darkside of Hollywood. At least she got to married Uncle Fester at one point in her life. Shame she didn't appeared in a Adam Sandler film. Thanks for the video good sir. You really are a great History Teacher.
Good video Lamont. I learned 50 years ago while in grammar school, that the cutest kids, the actually good looking children in school, were going to have it rough in the future. It was one thing to be confident around other kids as a loner, but if you're cute, people will mess with you for standing out. That thought kept me from burning up from envy. Some beautiful people are just that. Someone to look at, someone to envy, but not to be approached. The beauties back in the golden age were amazing. Thanks for covering this story.
Ever look up her filmography? She just cranked out movies. That's her with EE Horton in the The Gay Divorcee ("Let's Knock Knees" 15yr-old jailbait) She must have been in 50 movies or more and a half dozen plays. Makes you wonder if she ever took a vacation.
Yes, Judy had a bullying stage mother. They exist in two varieties: purely living vicariously through their daughter’s fame, and before the Coogan laws, for financial gain.
In the tour of the cemetery you spent alot of time wondering around and continuously talking about the well known actress miss grable but it seems almost to the end of the video before us viewers see where she's interred, greetings from oakville Ontario Canada thanks
I’m sorry but not really but there are VERY few classically beautiful actress these days. Everyone is so pulled right and tight except a handful. I know many of the golden era have had some nip and tuck but nothing outrageous and if you see their former selves they are still beautiful. There was also a sincere kindness and love for the fans as well as a public self respect that we barely see now. Hollyweird is full of sloppy talentless nepo babies in 2024. (The Great Jamie Lee Curtis is excluded from my rant)
@@chrisboyer4194 YES!!!! I love me some HER!! And Geena Davis omg I always thought she had that Golden Age Look like no other and hasn’t screwed up her face. 😍 There’s still a handful around that are aging gracefully but Hollyweird keeps pushing the plastics and even some of our icons are turning to the knife.
@@razzyp I would also say Drew Barrymore. I'm 52 years old so she's a couple of years or so younger than me but she looks great for someone pushing 50. I remember her as a lil girl in ET and I was 10 yrs old back then 😂. I feel like she's a sister that I've been seeing on screen all these years
They not only had to be beautiful back then. But they also had to be talented. Theysang, they danced, and they usually played an instrument. Oh and also act.
Beautiful women without surgical enhancement
Even back then they had plastic surgery Marilyn has a few procedures
@@68lyn68 true but not as common. Lips typically natural, bodies not as thin. Even in the 80s they looked different than today’s actresses. Jessica Lange in Tootsie is a good example.

Bettys aunt was our next door neighbor in st louis. Her aunt was a very beautiful older woman with a big fluffy dog.
Betty Grable: She was a 20th century Fox!!!

Betty Grable was a real genuine beauty all of them were really really beautiful back then😍🤩😄
Betty Grable has an immense talent! She could sing, dance, and act.
My Dad was in the Navy in WWII and said all the guys loved Betty. Thanks for another sensitive and informative video.
Very Well Done!! I'm 66 and I've always liked Betty .
It saddens me how the parents of these child stars where exploiting them 😢
I agree. 💯

Women back then were on a whole other level ☺️
Rip Betty Grable 😢
A wonderful tribute to Betty Grable!
RIP Ms. Grable🎉🎉🎉
What a lovely, sometimes sad bit of movie history. Rest in peace Betty, well presented Lamont.
Betty Grable is legend!❤
I love the 30’s 40’s and 50’s actresses. Love their biography’s. This was a great video. Thanks
She was gorgeous and had legs to die for. 🕊️❤️🙏

Adam Sandler also referenced her in the Thanksgiving song which was really hilarious classic 🤣
My favorite song as a kid used to always play when driving on highway to my relatives during the holiday in mid-late 90s and early 00s. Probably still does.
Betty Grable was 10 years older than Marilyn and already an established star, but they were friends. That's cool.
She was in a great film Noir from 1941, I Wake up Screaming, with Victor Mature.
Betty was also married to Jackie Coogan..."Uncle Fester" from the Adams Family tv series.....
I didn't know that! Thank your so much for the info ❤

She was beautiful. Dressed appropriately
The women today can't touch the actress from that era. I have never seen such beauty today. NEVER !😊
Great deep dive into a fascinating Lady Unc 👌🏿
Interesting video. Thanks.
Rest In Peace Betty 🙏
Her mom just wanted her daughter’s money
Great video… ❤
Real beautiful ladies in those days.😊
Jean Harlow is my favorite actress from that era. And she's beautiful too
Harlow was the original blonde bombshell. She was only 26 when she died in 1937. All the big stars went to her funeral. .
