Bee Jackson, world charleston champion, dancing at the Picadilly Hotel Cabaret, London (1925)

Joan Crawford in the Hollywood Boot Shop with Salvatore Ferragamo, 1928.
“D.W. Griffith- Ferragamo writes- early in my career suggested that I run a beauty competition for the best feet, ankles, and legs in the city. He would offer the first price- a six months’ film contract- and I could give second and third prizes of shoes. The event was organized, and the winner, according to te panel of judges, was a girl named Marjorie Howard. My only choice was a girl with beautiful legs who was trying hard to break in films. Her name was Joan Crawford. I forget wheter she won second or third prize; but I know that those were the first shoes of mine she ever wore, and she is my costumer still.
