Raquel Welch

The words Raquel Welch and fur bikini are synonymous these days. The legendary bombshell wore it in the film “One Million Years B.C.,” where she only uttered three lines. However, her voluptuous figure turned her into an instant sex symbol, and a photo of her in that bikini ended up being a best-selling poster. This brunette beauty would go onto international stardom.

Claudia Cardinale

Cardinale once won a 1957 competition, earning the title “Most Beautiful Italian Girl in Tunisia.” The Italian beauty queen was known for her sensual roles in “The Pink Panther” and “Big Deal in Madonna Street.” However, she was prominent in both Hollywood and Italian and French cinema. With her husky voice and seductive eye contact, Cardinale’s glamour has transfixed the world for years. 

Natalie Wood

Although Natalie Wood’s life ended in a mysterious drowning tragedy, she’ll never be forgotten as a talented movie star and sophisticated beauty. She brought a certain classiness to the phrase “sex symbol,” but she didn’t always start out that way. Wood entered Hollywood as a child actress, but as she grew older and took on more adult roles like Judy in “Rebel Without A Cause” with James Dean, audiences started to see her in a new light.
