In the 1940s when the big studios ruled Hollywood, their rising starlets were required by contract to visit the local Veterans Hospitals on a regular schedule, and hand out autographed pictures of themselves. Veronica Lake was famous among the vets for doing that, even when she became famous.
Like Aragorn, I've always been fond of Gloria Graham. A knockout scene from It's A Wonderful Life, when she flirts with the guys and then walks away.
