Publication of CINEMA SEX SIRENS, published by Omnibus Press, is a unique collection of photographs of female stars of the '60s and '70s. Foreword by Sir Roger Moore.
That period marked a new era of frankness in society and the movie industry lost no time in following suit after some 25 years of censorship and self-imposed regulations. The women who became the new erotic goddesses also became world-famous and defined a generation's view of sexuality.
Dave Worrall and Lee Pfeiffer's gallery illustrates a luminous collection of idealized women and offers a fascinating insight into the movies' depiction of female sexuality during the '60s and '70s. From the indisputable legends to actresses whose used their beauty to gain fame in the short-term through exploitation movies, this book provides little-known insights into their lives and careers.
Chapters include:
• Hollywood Or Bust: The Early Years
• ... And God Created the Sex Symbol
• The Russ Meyer Ladies
• The Women of Blaxploitation
• The Continentals
• Made In England: Brit Glamour
• Drive-In Gals
• Sex Sells: The Art of the Movie Poster (rare examples of exploitation movie art)
