In Hollywood, a sculptor named Yucca Salamunich, after carefully considering the subject of legs, was ready to make a generality: "Yunnhh! Hollywood con nects legs with sex. Legs have beauty for other reasons." Specifically, Salamunich had prepared a list of legs he admires:

i) Hedy Lamarr ("What I'd call a heavy leg ... good construction") ; 2) Alexis Smith ("willowy"); 3) Ray Bolger ("A good dancing leg ... Legs don't have to be a woman's to be beautiful"); 4) Nightclub Singer Julie Wilson; 5) and 6) Citation; 7) Jane Russell, whose pret ty legs have been "overshadowed"; 8) a Chippendale chair.
