Pictured here with a presumably content swan, Sally Rand was named after a Rand McNally atlas by movie director Cecil B. DeMille at the beginning of her career in silent films. Little did she know that it would be an entirely different idea of globes that would make her a – nearly – household name in the years to come. Sally is best remembered by people of your grandpa’s generation for a saucy routine involving a bubble, and of course the classic ostrich feather dance.
