Can you name all these pinups, models and movie icons of the 1950s?

These stars continue to shine decades later.

 

They came from Italian, Sweden, England and all parts of America, of course. They ended up in Hollywood, on posters and splashed across marquees.

These women were massive icons in the 1950s, setting fashion trends, recording albums, and drawing fans to the box office.

Let's see if you know your Marilyns from your Avas and Evas. Try to I.D. these Fifties icons!

I remember getting a transistor radio for my birthday and I went walking around the neighborhood, playing music to show off to people.

What about Barbara Hale from Perry Mason? Or Audrey Meadows? Both were stunningly gorgeous in their younger years ❤️❤️

How many did you get right? Audrey Meadows wasn't very good looking when she played Alice Kramden in ''The Honeymooners''. She wasn't bad looking either.
