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.
Stella Stevens
Hollywood bombshell Stella Stevens was so much more than a pretty face, playing roles in the 1963 flick “The Nutty Professor,” the rom-com “The Courtship of Eddie’s Father,” and the musical “Girls! Girls! Girls!” With Elvis. In 1960, she starred as Playboy’s January Playboy of the Month and would go on to appear in the magazine multiple times. She was also voted #27 in Playboy’s roundup of the 100 sexiest stars of the 20th century.
