MGM had famed pin-up artist Alberto Vargas pick out twelve beautiful models to each be a "month" in the above number, and Clarence Sinclair Bull photographed them against calendar backgrounds for each month. One of those twelve models was Hazel Brooks, who went on to a successful film career, but not as much for the other eleven! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
