(MONEY Magazine) – Hemlines may go up and down, but shapely legs--particularly those belonging to prominent actresses, dancers and singers--are always in style. Indeed, the best legs are worth millions to their famous owners, who go way beyond aerobics to protect their prime assets.

In 1949, Betty Grable insured her legs (at right) for $2.8 million. In 1995, Tina Turner insured hers for $2 million. How do they compare with Jennifer Lopez's reported $300 million policy (rear end included) in today's dollars? Here's how these great legs stack up. --ERICA GARCIA
