Description
In 1946-47, the Treasury Department noted that Betty Grable was the highest paid woman in America, receiving $300,000 a year. During the late 1940s, 20th Century-Fox insured her legs with 'Lloyds of London' for a quarter million dollars. She was a successful film star until Hollywood musicals went into decline in the mid-1950s. Grable's final film role was in the comedy How to Be Very, Very Popular (1955) with newcomer Sheree North. This film was meant to reunite Grable with Marilyn Monroe, but Monroe turned it down, complaining the script was poor. Afterwards, Grable wanted the role of Miss Adelaide in the 1956 film Guys and Dolls, but it went to Vivian Blaine. The introduction and a parody of the first verse are sung by Betty Grable during the graduation scene in How to Be Very, Very Popular (1955).
