Betty Grable Declines Drama to Stay Musical Star
Betty Grable, on the last day of shooting for How to Be Very, Very Popular, says she cannot act and prefers light musical roles. She notes studios used her to break in new blondes, cites past double acts with June Haver and Marilyn Monroe, and jokes she would rather stay with songs and dance than tackle serious drama.
