Alice White, Wowzers

Speaking of old films (I was speaking about old films, wasn't I?) I was reading about a Cold War communications system called White Alice, a part of the Dew Line system. One theory about the name White Alice is that they originally wanted to call it Alice White but there was an actress with that name. So naturally I looked up Alice White.

Ho Lee Toe Lee Do.

There are some tribute reels on YouTube, each a few minutes long. Alice White was in films from the late 1930's to the late 1940's. Now, this is going to sound stupid but I had no idea girls were so smokin' hot back in the day. 

Oh, the White Alice system was interesting, too.
