Pin-Up Girl Rita Hayworth

Rita Hayworth (Margarita Carmen Cansino, 1918-1987).

Her first big hit was "Strawberry Blonde" in1941, but it was her next film, "Blood and Sand" in 1941, that brought stardom. Rita was nicknamed "Love Goddess" after she was photographed wearing a pink satin with a black lace-topped negligee nightgown for the cover of Life magazine. Rita's "bombshell" status led to her picture being painted on the first nuclear bomb tested in the Marshall Islands, and the Navy named her: "The redhead we would most like to be ship-wrecked with." - Rita did a lot for the morale of our troops!

WW2 Pin Up Girls Allied Nose Art

"Nose art is a decorative painting or design on the fuselage of a military aircraft, usually located near the nose, and is a form of aircraft graffiti.

While begun for practical reasons of identifying friendly units, the practice evolved to express the individuality often constrained by the uniformity of the military, to evoke memories of home and peacetime life, and as a kind of psychological protection against the stresses of war and the probability of death. The appeal, in part, came from nose art not being officially approved, even when the regulations against it were not enforced." Read More Wikipedia

Veronica Lake ~ Pin-up Girl

Veronica Lake (Constance Frances Marie Ockleman, 1919-1973).

After winning a beauty pageant in 1938, Veronica's mother took her to Hollywood to see if she could break into the movies. In 1941, her studio gave her a featured part in "I Wanted Wings", her break-through role to stardom . Although she starred in several films, her studio did not appreciate her true acting abilities, and principally used her beauty to spice up mediocre films, so by the end of the decade her stardom was fading out. During the World War 2 years she was one of the most popular pin-ups, and was known as: "The girl with the peek-a-boo bangs."
