At the time, Betty was underage to act but because the chorus line performed in blackface, it was impossible to tell her age.
Betty was able to obtain a contract after her mother provided false identification however when her age was discovered, Betty was fired. It was also Betty’s mother who, while giving her daughter a make-over, decided to dye Betty’s hair platinum blond, for which the bombshell maintained for the remainder of her career.Over the next several years, Betty played small roles such as a Goldwyn Girl in 1930’s Whoopie! as well as the Academy Award winning Gay Divorcee in 1934.
In 1937, Betty Grable married Jackie Coogan who had been a famous child actor. The marriage was short lived however, and the two divorced in 1940. In 1939, for the first time, all eyes were on Betty.
