Her character of the intriguingly titled Pussy Galore may have been a lesbian at the start of her Goldfinger escapade with super-spy icon James Bond 007, as immortalised by Sean Connery, but by the end of the films global storytelling that situation had definitely and luckily enough changed for the better for both Bond and for male fans. Never had Honor Blackman looked more stunning and physically alluring than in this 1964 movie, fresh off her success throwing guys around and generally warming up the room temperature as THE AVENGERS inimitable modern woman, Cathy Gale. John Steed's loss was very much James Bond's win, win!
A celebration of the incredibly talented, empowered, and ultra-sexy 'liberated ladies' of film, TV, magazines, and other media- from heroines to femme fatales, from actresses to glamour models, to pop star sensations and timeless icons. The known and perhaps not so well known. Enjoy our choices!

SUPERBABE 12: KATE WINSLET

She's come a long way since sitting on a piece of floating debris watching Leonardo DiCaprio suffer an icy cold death in the doomed love affair/boat sinking historical epic that was TITANIC. Going on to become a Hollywood darling, fellow Brit Kate Winslet made her mark with a strong and notable acting career, but it was when she decided to let her hair down, and let go of a lot of clothing as well, that she got my rabid attention- this very sexy stocking-clad photo shoot from a few years back for VANITY FAIR being a prime highlight, a bold and bright move for the actress which really showed the world what a sexy and classy woman she was- and setting her on course for a whole new phase in her career.
It's true- great pictures can say a thousand words...

SUPERBABE 11: CYD CHARISSE
Possessing what many in the film industry considered the sexiest legs in the world, and heavily insured under that status, dancer/actress Cyd Charisse certainly made an eyeful impact in her career. If anyone was tailor-made made for a film entitled Silk Stockings, it was certainly this thigh-caliber lady!

SUPERBABE 10: EVA LaRUE
Raising the scenic temperatures even more for male viewers, Eva LaRue's lovely smile and stunning figure made her a big success in the hit crime/forensics series CSI: MIAMI, joining a series chockablock full of lovely, spirited women. No wonder series star Horatio Caine always needed to put those sunglasses on!

SUPERBABE 9: STEFANIE POWERS
She was the THRUSH fighting sexy superspy THE GIRL FROM U.N.C.L.E. in the late sixties, and proved a glamorous foil to Robert Wagner in that other TV hit, HART TO HART. Stefanie Powers has remained one sexy lady throughout, and if I had the chance I'd be up for more than playing polo with her. She'll enjoy a different type of mallet to play with, for sure!
