Classic Sex Symbols

[Arginald Valleywater]

With too many skinny models and actresses being liked to sex symbols what are your all time fave beauties?

Tallulah Bankhead and Louise Brooks. Both stunning amongst many others of the golden era of films.

Today? Will have to think and come back to you though I do have a penchant for Samantha Bentley!!!!!!! It's the Goth look!!!

Uma Thurman and Winona Ryder too!!!!!!

Skinny and classic at the same time: Myrna Loy. My grandfather's favourite - and also one of mine!

Well, going way back I would have to say Ingrid Bergman, not a conventional "sex symbol" but she does it for me. Especially in Casablanca. Or a more conventional sex symbol, Jane Russell in her cantilever bra apparently designed by Howard Hughes.

As for modern day, Gemma Arterton floats my boat. She was in Quantum of Solace, the Tamara Drewe film and on the Beeb as the lead in Tess of the D'urbervilles. A rather attractive young lady.......

Gemma Arterton is a wise choice. As is Lisa Snowdon.

Diane Webber,

Diane was always in Parade magazine back in the 60s and probably the first model to really become a full frontal pin up and nudist icon, she was so clever in her poses most people never realised she stood at barely 5ft..

Oh had a liking for the 70's it was all so innocent back then - had a thing for Susan Shaw - stunning lass indeed.

Always wondered if she had crossed the line and did harder.....
