her legs were insured for a million dollars and she was a knockout

Ciao,
mario

Actually it was -
Betty Grable. Actress Betty Grable was probably the most famous pin-up in history. She was also the first star to own million-dollar legs when in 1943, her studio took out a $1 million policy with Lloyd's. That would be nearly $14 million today (May 20, 2015).

To put it into perspective, the base price of a Series 63 Convertible Coupe was $2,020 in 1942 (a year shy of 1943).

$1,000,000 would have bought 495 of them.  ;)
