A Million and One Dollars


If Betty Grable's legs are worth a million dollars, then what are Ginger's legs worth?

If you want to really get a good look at Ginger Rogers' legs, check her out in "Tender Comrade" (1943). She's in a crop top and shorts (courtesy of Edith Head) and her gams are on full display. Yowza!

I'd say, 999, 871. That's with, as you said, Betty Grable setting the 1,000,000 standard.

Grable's legs were ever so slightly soft, Rogers' were more muscular. Which you prefer to look at is a matter of personal taste, although of course in the 1930s and 1940s, slightly soft legs were in fashion.

IMHO Grable made a huge deal out of her legs because she could hardly boast about her talents as an actress or dancer. Rogers was a decent actress, and a fantastic dancer, even if she spent the 1930s learning in front of the camera (she did!).
