Movies starring the most gorgeous of gals... Hours of superb fashion and guys going gaga over a lady's charms.

Every Wednesday, TCM will showcase movies with the likes of Hedy Lamarr, Jane Russell and Betty Grable.
TCM's Robert Osborne always regales us with behind the scenes trivia before the movies. Last night's nugget for The Road to Singapore, featuring Bing Crosby, Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour, was neat! He mentioned Lamour's photo in the July 7,1941 edition of LIFE magazine. Lounging in a tropical sarong, something she often donned her south-seas themed films, Dottie Lamour is the perfect 1940s woman. After some serious Internet digging, I found the picture!
The heading touts Lamour as the most pinned picture by our nation's troops in 1941. I just watched The Hurricane from 1937 featuring the famed actress and pin-up. She had barely any dialogue, but I do remember thinking how her sarong was teeny tiny.
Robert Osborne's article for June's pin-up girl feature is neato-here it is!
