A highly desirable 8×10 pre-code 1933 pinup photo of Ginger Rogers who is wearing very little in this teasing pre-code image from “Sitting Pretty” a film made just before she became an instant super-star when she was paired with Fred Astaire in “Flying Down to Rio”. One corner torn and pin-holes, slight creasing. The Hollywood pinup which began with Mack Sennett’s famous “Bathing Beauties” reached its zenith in WWII. Evelyn Keyes, one of the most popular of the WWII era pinup girls, wrote in “Scarlett O’Hara’s Younger Sister”: It was our patriotic duty to answer the gallant servicemen… With pinup pictures, the nakedest the Hays Office would allow… We females spent hours posing in bathing suits, negligees and shorts, jumping out of candy boxes for Valentine’s Day. The pinup would endure through the Korean War and into the 1950s, when the more aggressive Men’s magazines made them seem quaint and old fashioned. Today these photos, also known as “Cheesecake” are valuable collectors items symbolizing a time of more innocent glamour and beauty.
