Cinema Sex Sirens

2013 | Gender Studies

A celebration of the last great era of the cinematic sex siren - a time when the cultural revolution resulted in unprecedented liberation in the treatment of nudity on screen.The Sixties and Seventies was an era when actresses were not ashamed to be associated with the tag of 'Sex Goddess' or 'Sex Siren' and were not embarrassed to exploit their beauty and bodily charms to enhance their career. Sex Sirens centres around a select number of actresses who capitalised on their natural beauty during this era. They range from cinematic legends to some whose names are barely known by the general public. Each chapter focuses on one actress with a biography, commentary and complete filmography. With an introduction by Roger Moore. Features full colour photos, rare international movie poster artwork and magazine covers. Actresses featured include Sophia Loren, Raquel Welch, Brigitte Bardot, Elizabeth Taylor, Ursula Andress and Gina Lollobrigida.
