Epiphany

Hef saw the "crease lines" in this photo and Playboy centerfolds were invented.

A Great Dancer

I think she would have been flattered to be portrayed by Michelle Williams.

I see why they call it "Look' magazine

She is definitely worth a look!

Quite the resume she has in the world of entertainment. It seems dancing took her from leg braces (due to a case of rickets), to the stage, the big screen, and the little screen, and back to the big screen. Her career touched on six different decades, and I'm quite sure she made many a man take a 'look'.

Who knew a dancer with looks like hers would fancy the eye of Bob Fosse.

She is certainly worthy of Dave's "Pretty Girls" tag.
