Disastar: A Laddered Stocking on a Famous Leg - Mistinguett, the iron butterfly, the indestructible, the deathless vamp, who, it is said, is roughly 20 years older than the Eiffel tower is pictured in London with her niece. Mistinguett (of the legendary legs - she has a ladder in her right stocking) has come to London to launch her book of memoirs. The famed Mistinguett, the queen of the Paris music-hall who has refused to abdicate, the darling of the Folies Bergere, who numbered four kings among her admirers, is around 80 thought she doesn't look it. She wears a heavy mink coat, which sports a large orchid on the lapel, which a black hat. As Mistinguett raised the hem of her skirt revealing her black silk slightly laddered stockings, her niece Mlle. Micky pulled her own skirt further down. Mlle. Micky is an actress -- but not in music--hall. October 10, 1954. (Photo by Sunday Express Picture).
