The Most Famous Smoking Pic of All Time
In my opinion, this is the most famous smoking glamour pic of all time. As most of you know, its Rita Hayworth in the studio publicity shot from the 1946 movie Gilda.
As much as most people have seen this pic, I could not find it to post when I was blogging about Rita Hayworth a while back, but I just decided to post it now.
Almost anyone with any knowledge of popular cultiure recognizies this picture, even though its from a little remembered movie made sixty years ago.
To me, it is the epitome of the allure of smoking, at least as its been developed by advertising and in the popular culture over the years.

I think Breakfast at Tiffanys would be a more famous pic, but this one is of course very familiar.
