Sex symbols of the last century

Sophia Loren
The passionate Italian from the suburbs of Naples became an international sex symbol in an instant.

The hourglass figure, stunning cinematic and photogenic character, boundless charm and desire to become famous have made the girl from a very disadvantaged family a world star.
Brigitte Bardot
French actress, a recognized sex symbol of the 1960s. Her life is divided into periods of male reign: it was with Roger Vadim, it was with Jean-Louis Trintignant, here it was with Gilbert Bécaud, and then – with Jacques Charrier … In her youth, she often fell in love with movie partners. Subsequently, her men became younger, and their occupation became increasingly indistinct. Some are already very much like Alfonso. After a painful affair with Gilbert Bécaud, she swore never to fall in love with a married man again.
In recent years, Brigitte Bardot has lived in complete solitude in the resort city of Saint-Tropez, settling her farm with all kinds of wildlife.
Audrey Hepburn
