It’s easy to see why model-turned-actress Dusty Anderson was a perfect choice for pinup shots like this one in the 1940s. She was first seen as a model in the Rita Hayworth movie Cover Girl, then appeared in a cluster of Columbia pictures over the next few years before retiring from the screen and raising two children with director Jean Negulesco. I dare say no one ever rode a broom more attractively.

That Bow picture--with the light from the jack-o-lantern reflecting on her face--is stunning. They really knew how to shoot photographs back then.
