32B or not 32B? That is the question. And the answer is CELEBRITY SLEUTH's definitive dossier of documented dimensions, "Star•tistics."
"Call us indiscreet, call us sexist, call us whatever you like," Premiere magazine admitted in July 1989, "the fact is, you want to know, don't you? Well, we did. The minute we heard that Christie's auction house was going to sell the fittings book kept by Adrian, MGM studios' chief costume designer from 1931 to 1942, we just had to take a peek at the measurements of some of Hollywood's golden girls {a// of Adrian's assessments are contained herein}. What we're wondering is," Premiere posed, "will we have to wait another50 years to get comparable statistics on today's top stars?" You won't have to waitanother minute...
"Today," noted Bold magazine in 1960, "a movie gal's vital statistics are not her age, height and weight; they are arrived at with a tape measure." But ever since being P.C. took precedence over being A, B or C, "Modern beauties guard their bust sizes jealousy." We've managed to let their guard down...and let the figures out.
"We live in a tit culture," Bette {36C-25-36} Davis denigrated our interest in the numbers game, while comedian Terry-Thomas observed: "I say, you Americans are positively obsessed with mammaries!" But perhaps his fellow Brit, actor Richard E. Grant, put it best: "My ideal woman has a bust, waist and hips. She doesn't have to have legs, but it is wonderful if she does." It's not by coincidence that the inventor of the brassiere was Otto Titzling and, until recently, the President of Jantzen's sexy swimwear was named Jay R. Titsworth. Or that a major cigarette company boosted sales by boasting: "It's what's up front that counts."
During World War II, 20th-Century Fox president Darryl F Zanuck overheard his publicity director Mike Romanoff, the restaurateur, complaining that "all the fan-mail letters I see are from people who want to know the anatomical dimensions of our players. I tend to ignore these ignorant missives." Zanuck fired him "for pomposity," but not before reminding Romanoff: "Mike, what those people want to know is how big are Betty Grable's tits, and the moment they stop asking and we stop telling them, we're out of business." In case you're asking, they measured 34X.
When Movieline ran an April 1997 feature called "They Might Be Giants" detailing the height of actresses, an angry reader remarked: "Come on! Who cares how tall these chicks are? But since you delved into such matters, why stop there? Why not bust, waist and hip sizes? How long are their legs? What's the distance between their pierced belly buttons and their pierced nipples? Hey, shouldn't we be worried instead if they can act?" They'll be plenty of time for that; for now, to echo Mae West's farewell to a parting paramour: "Thanks, I enjoyed every inch of it."
