    "The winsome beauty who specialized in frothy comedies in the 1940s and whose career was capped by her starring role in the controversial Elia Kazan classic "Pinky," died Sunday. She was 78."

    Most probably have never heard of her, but if your grandpa was a doughbiy in the war, he'll remember. If not show him this:

    (pic doesn't display here, but it is safe for work, even in 1942.) :D

    "With her lovely features, slender figure and demure manner, Crain became a leading star in the wartime and postwar years. For faraway GI's she seemed the ideal girl back home. At 20th Century-Fox studio, her fan mail was second only to that of pin-up queen Betty Grable."

    Just gotta give props to the pin ups.
