Betty Grable had perhaps the most famous legs of all time (in the category of Hollywood actresses), and she was right up there with Rita Hayworth as the chief pinup girl of American G.I.'s in World War II; she was also one of the biggest musical-comedy stars of the 1940's and early 1950's. In these roles, she often had occasion to wear opera gloves, as you'll see in the galleries listed below.
