Grable Pin-up Resurrected

Hollywood (UPI)---Producer Arthur Hornblow was seeking a collector's item for the Columbia production of "The War Lover." The item was a pin-up picture of Betty Grable.

A favorite of GIs during World War II, the picture is to be displayed in Steve McQueen's pilot's quarters. McQueen, Robert Wagner and Shirley Anne Field star in the World War II epic.
