Arline Hunter
Arline Hunter (born Arlene J. Hunter; December 16, 1931 – September 11, 2018) was an American actress and model. She was perhaps best known as '' Playboy's'' Playmate of the Month for August 1954. Her centerfold was the first not to be purchased from the John Baumgarth Co. by Hugh Hefner, and was instead photographed by Ed DeLong, who went on to become one of the more prolific ''Playboy'' photographers in the 1960s. Career Much of Hunter's fame was built upon her resemblance to Marilyn Monroe; indeed, her ''Playboy'' pose was obviously inspired by Monroe's notorious 1949 nude photo session with Tom Kelley from which her own ''Playboy'' photo came. The similarity in look between Hunter and Monroe also came into play when a nude Hunter starred in a stag film called, ''The Apple-Knockers and the Coke''. For many years there have been those who have seen the film and have mistaken Hunter for Monroe. Hunter went on to have a film career that consisted mostly of sexy parts in B-movi ...

Bombshell (sex Symbol)
The term bombshell is a forerunner to the term "sex symbol" and originally used to describe popular women regarded as very attractive. The '' Online Etymology Dictionary'' by Douglas Harper attests the usage of the term in this meaning since 1942. Bombshell has a longer history in its other, more general figurative meaning of a "shattering or devastating thing or event" since 1860. History The first woman to be known as a bombshell was Jean Harlow, who was nicknamed the "blonde bombshell" for her film '' Platinum Blonde'' (1931). Two years later, she starred in the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film '' Bombshell'' (1933). One of the blurbs on posters was "Lovely, luscious, exotic Jean Harlow as the Blonde Bombshell of filmdom." Hollywood soon took up the blonde bombshell, and then, during the late 1940s through the early 1960s, brunette, exotic, and ethnic versions (e.g., Jane Russell, Dorothy Dandridge and Sophia Loren) were also cultivated as complements to, or as satellites of, the ...
