Who is the biggest female sex symbol from each decade?

Marilyn Monroe 60s

Raquel Welch 70s

Farrah Fawcett 80s

Pamela Anderson 90s

After the 90s, it's the sex symbols that became small, not the pictures that got small.

Chrissy Metz....hands down...all of 'em.

I’m telling you now so that I don’t have to tell you later. You put down Madonna and you’re getting an FF.

10's-Theda Bara 20's-Clara Bow 30's-Jean Harlow 40's-Rita Hayworth 50's-Marilyn Monroe 60's-Brigitte Bardot 70's-Farrah Fawcett 80's-Kim Basinger 90's-Cindy Crawford 2000's-Scarlett Johanson 2010's-Megan Fox

R3, why?

Rita Hayworth - 40s Marilyn- 50s Raquel- 60s Jaclyn Smith- 70s Brooke Shields-80s Claudia Schiffer-90s Britney- 00s until meltdown then, JLo Gisele-10s Now?KK

Madonna is the biggest female sex symbol in music history.

Minnie Pearl is the obvious choice for each and every age.

1920s - Clara Bow, the "It" Girl

1930s - Jean Harlow

1940s - Rita Hayworth

1950s - Marilyn Monroe

1960s - Raquel Welch

1970s - Farrah Fawcett

1980s - Heather Locklear

1990s - Jenny McCarthy

No Betty Grable?

R9 is mostly correct, except Betty Grable should be for 40's; and Bo Derek for 80's (Heather Locklear? Really?)

Yeah Marilyn was '50s She died in '62

Sophia Loren fits in somewhere.

1890s - Fatima the Belly Dancer

I'm w/w you even when you come close but get it wrong with the 70s, which was obviously Farrah Fawcett. Her smile, hair, and nipples were on every boy's bedroom wall for near a decade.

Bo Derek was IT in the 1980s, but only briefly. Kathleen Turner had a good run from Body Heat to Romancing the Stone, but faded fast.

The 1990s gave us Pam Anderson and Sharon Stone.

Brooke Shields

I think many straight guys from the 90s would say Britney Spears.

Anna Nicole Smith was iconic, but not sure where she fits in. She was certainly larger than life.

I can’t think of a current sex symbol. I’m old and checked out, I suppose.

Marilyn Monroe was the sex symbol of the 50s not the 60s. The 60s had barely started when she died. I'd say Raquel Welch was the sex symbol of the 60s.

R13 Sophia Loren was such a special beauty. Beyond just gorgeous she had striking character to her face with her strong cheekbones and eyes, sort of catlike.

Britney showed up around late 1998, so she was more of a sex symbol in the 2000s.

30s Jean Harlow 40s Rita Hayworth 50s Marilyn Monroe 60s Ann-Margret 70s Pam Grier 80s Brooke Shields 90s Demi Moore 00s Scarlett Johansson 10s Margot Robbie (I guess?) 20s Beyoncé?

Elizabeth Taylor was every man's dream in the 1950s.

What about saint Angelina Jolie? She was big there for a second in the late 90s/ early 2000s?
