Now I'm older than when I first saw it, I did notice her pose. In those days, it wasn't unusual for women, especially desirable women to pose in such a way as to indicate a sort of "lovely simpleton", the idea being that men would be less intimidated by a beautiful woman if she was stupid and easily entertained. It had the reverse effect though, as the boys who knew these images grew up to see them as old-fashioned, and sought more in a woman than someone who is easily entertained.
