I'm sorely disappointed that you didn't mention the most famous USO entertainer of the Viet Nam War and her infamous (or wildly popular) photo (depending on your perspective) she handed out (this one is edited as orginal is NSFW..the dress is very, very short and leaves absolutely nothing to the imagination).

I'm not sure that even qualifies as a dress by todays standards...

Another hint or two. This no run of the mill starlet, she rise to super stardom by 1963 as major screenstar way faster than Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Anniston put together. Bob Hope included her in his March 1966 USO Entourage to great delight of the troops.

Her eventual marriage was a faith-based long term relationship. She's been nominated for for several Academy Awards as a lead and supporting actress as well as Emmies but only won several Golden Globes and other prestigious awards. Her relationship with the troops she entertained was everlasting and she still calls them "My Gentlemen".

Contrast that with her contemporary who "entertained" the North Vietnames and even sat on an anti-aircraft battery. She was presented to POWs who knew of her protests and she called them liars when they spoke of torture.
