During World War 2 all of the big Hollywood stars posed for pin-up photos to raise the morale of the troops. The official US Army magazine was called YANK (is it just me that finds that funny?)
Lots of the big silver screen starlets of the time are here: Lauren Bacall, Ingrid Bergman, Rita Hayworth (above), Gene Tierney, Esther Williams, Betty Grable, Ann Miller and even Lucille Ball! Whose pin-up is your favourite?
Apologies for this photo being so small, but I couldn’t find it any larger, and I thought this dress was just wonderful! Rita Hayworth is also one of my favourite silver screen actresses. Who are your favourites?

I love this clip of Rita Hayworth and Fred Astaire tap dancing to The Shorty George from the movie You Were Never Lovelier by Columbia Picture (1942). Isn’t she incredible?
