Nice to see a shot of Betty Brosmer - always a favourite of mine. Sometimes called the Fourth Marilyn after Marilyn, Jayne and Mamie. Check her out on Google Images.

Oh, don't get me started on Sabrina (not the teenage witch but the real one) - Norma Ann Sykes from Stockport.

Search Google images for 'Sabrina actress 60s' to see her before your very eyes - and understand why British schoolboys went ga-ga over her. Diana Dors got all the kudos as the British Marilyn - but Sabrina ran her close.

Just as a point of interest - purely for the purposes of research obviously - was there an Australian, German or Canadian Marilyn we should know about?

Andrew,

You do go off on Unexpected tangents!

If so, I can't remember one. We are mostly talking about the 50's and that was a bit too early for me, and if any 'Blonde Bombshell' had had a career continuing into the 60s and 70s, I think I would have been aware of it.
We had no movie industry in that period, although we had had a healthy one up to WWII, and TV was just starting. Many magazines had pin-up pictures tho.
Look at 'Cavalcade magazine' here on CB+
https://comicbookplus.com/?cid=3303 
There were a lot of this kind of little softcore booklets with cheesecake pictures in the 50s and into the 50's -
Eventually there was no market for them. I assume that, given the overall quality of them was so bad, they must have sold well.
I supposed they helped some cartoonists make a steady buck.
At the time they 'saucy English seaside postcards' were also quite common - even out here. Anyone remember them?
I think they are collectors items now.

Cheers!

The photo of a very young Joan Collins made my day. What a knockout!
Any images of Betty Page improves the value of any such publication.

As an aside, there's a new BD on Jayne Mansfield which looks fun:

Indeed - seaside postcards are  much underrated form of graphic entertainment - though possibly a bit of an acquired taste.

For a fair sample, use 'seaside postcards' on Google Images

Donald McGill was considered the master - replaced by Arnold Taylor in the sixties (Arnold was well into his seventies at this point I believe). With a change in attitudes, saucy postcards died out in the eighties.
