Marilyn Monroe is arguably the most iconic of them all. Before she was a household name, Monroe posed nude for a calendar photo in 1949, later published in Playboy’s debut issue in 1953. Rather than damage her career, the photo helped cement her image as a sex symbol and empowered a generation of women to embrace their sensuality.
Lynda Carter, best known as the original Wonder Woman, also posed for suggestive yet elegant photos during the 1970s. Though she was often seen in her iconic costume, Carter appeared in revealing yet tasteful images that embraced the era’s glamour aesthetic. She later admitted feeling conflicted about some of the more suggestive photos taken without her full consent, but they remain part of her vintage legacy.
Suzanne Pleshette, known for her smoky voice and roles in films like The Birds and on The Bob Newhart Show, also embraced a sultry, stylish image in the ’60s and ’70s. While she didn’t pose nude, many of her promotional photos featured her in seductive poses or suggestive attire. These photos, often shot in black-and-white or soft focus, added to her mysterious appeal.
Pam Grier, the queen of 1970s Blaxploitation cinema, confidently posed for sensual photo spreads that matched the boldness of her on-screen characters. Her photos exuded strength and sex appeal, reflecting her roles as powerful women who didn’t conform to stereotypes. Grier’s vintage pin-up shots are now seen as feminist statements from a woman who owned her image and refused to be boxed in.
Today, these vintage images are celebrated not just for their beauty but for their cultural impact, showing how these actresses helped redefine femininity and agency in their time.
