CRAP !!
Although Ms. Lamarr is sometimes mistakenly credited for being the nudity pioneer for her work in that film, the truth is that the first actress to appear completely nude was Audry Munson in Inspiration (1915) in which she models for a sculptor. The next year, Ms. Munson followed with another nude appearance, in Purity.

Everybody have a safe and happy Fourth--- My third Burger of the day will be for y'all.

PATRIOTIC TRIVIA
• At the time of the American Revolution there were about 2.5 million people living in the colonies. (Today the population of the United States is about 300 million.)
• In 2004, $5.2 million worth of American flags and $172 million of fireworks were sold in the United States: 92 percent of the flags and 95 percent of the fireworks were made in China.
• Looking for a place to spend the day? Try Independence, Missouri; Freedom, California; or Patriot, Indiana.
 
Happy 4th, lt.

(I went to H.D. to but a flag after Dessert Storm
I walked out. The flags were made in Pakistan!)
