Pin up photos and posters of beautiful women reached its peak during the Second World War in the 1940s. Almost all American servicemen had one pin up photo or poster inside his locker room, on a wall near his bunk bed and even inside his wallet. A lot of men went so far as having the image of his favourite pin up girl tattooed on his arm or some other part of his body.
Actresses Who Became Renowned Pin Up Girls
To this day, the most popular pin up girls were the classic and iconic actresses who were famous decades and decades ago. Below are some of the most famous pin up girls who were also great actresses:
Rita Hayworth. Rita’s most famous picture wherein she was wearing a black negligee is one of the most popular pinup photos in all of World War II and of all time. During the Second World War, she was also very active in selling war bands and she appeared in USO shows – making her one of the most patriotic pin up girls during this period as well.
Betty Page. Betty has probably the most eternally famous and easily recognizable pin up picture even today. Although her pin up photos and posters were popular in the 1950s, to this day, her natural and fun aura in her pictures are still copied and emulated in modern pin up photographs in fashion magazines and other publications.
Ava Gardner. One of the earliest “MGM girls”, Ava had so many photos typical of pin up pictures in the 1940s: wearing a bathing suit on a beach. She also became a famous siren and femme fatale in various movies and she is also known for being married once to Frank Sinatra (they separated in 1957).
