How many stars do you remember?

A couple of weeks ago appeared a post on Awakenings for an opportunity to Guess the Celebrity. This offering followed the posting This Day in History, July 6, 1946, the day which marks the introduction of the bikini.

Since very view (in fact, only two) have been identified let's add a little trivia to help you decide. Here are the names and focus on the decades from 1920s through 1960s. Keep in mind the names or pictures are in NO particular order.

See how many of these past fabulous 'babes' you can match correctly.

 And the celebrities are. . .

Lana Turner, Mary Thurman, Barbie, Virginia Mayo, Tina Louise, Ann Miller, Susan Hayward, Elizabeth Taylor, Betty Grable, Gloria DeHaven
