Ah the Sweater Girl!
Everyone seems to have forgotten the Girl with Oomph! Anne Sheridan, a huge pin up star.

Betty Grable was another big pinup girl and I don't think she has been mentioned.
It was said at one time she was in more soldiers lockers than any other star in her day.

Quote by Dancing_Doll
To me Marilyn Monroe was iconic because she was the original blueprint for the coquettish blonde bombshell. She set the standard. There are reasons why she has been copied over and over again for generations - to name a few: Madonna, Anna Nicole, Pamela Anderson, Christina Aguilera, Lindsay Lohan. Her 'look' or image has been borrowed at times by celebs from Gwen Stefani, Scarlet Johanson, Paris Hilton, Angelina Jolie to even Rachel McAdams. All the women I named are beautiful but there is something iconic and unique about Marilyn's combination of glamour, sexuality, vulnerability and innocence that has made her a household name and still a glamour-icon to be emulated and borrowed from today. She's still appearing in Chanel No. 5 ads. It's crazy when you think about it. Beauty is bit easier - there are endless beautiful and/or hot women past and present, but it's kind of like looking at the Mona Lisa and trying to understand what makes the painting special.
