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)

Among the actresses celebrated in Cinema Sex Sirens include Natalie Wood (sister of Lana Wood), Luciana Paluzzi, Ursula Andress, Jill St. John, Anita Ekberg, Valerie Leon, Caroline Munro and Ingrid Pitt.

Note: This book is for mature readers and includes nudity.
