Jane Fonda as beautiful 41st-century astronaut Barbarella (1968)
Barbarella is a 1968 science fiction film directed by Roger Vadim, based on the French comic series of the same name by Jean-Claude Forest.
The film stars Jane Fonda as the title character, a space traveler and representative of the United Earth government sent to find scientist Durand Durand, who has created a weapon that could destroy humanity.
Vadim attempted to cast several actresses—in the title role before choosing Fonda, his then-wife: Brigitte Bardot, who was not interested in a sexualized role, and Sophia Loren who was pregnant and felt that she would not fit the role. Fonda was uncertain about the film, but Vadim convinced her by saying that science fiction was a rapidly-evolving genre.
The film was particularly popular in the United Kingdom, where it was the year’s second-highest-grossing film. Contemporary film critics praised Barbarella’s visuals and cinematography but found its storyline weak after the first few scenes.

Ursula Andress as Honey Ryder in Dr. No (1962)
Honey Rider is a fictional character in the 1962 Bond film Dr. No. In the film, she is played by Swiss actress Ursula Andress, with her lines dubbed by Nikki van der Zyl due to Andress’ heavy accent.
Honey Ryder is a beachcomber making a living selling seashells in Miami. She is a very independent woman claiming to not need help from anyone. Resourceful and courageous, Honey Ryder states that she can defend herself against any hostile when she first meets Bond. Although she is at first wary of Bond, he is allowed to get closer when he comments that his intentions are honourable.
Honey Ryder is generally regarded as the first Bond girl. Ryder’s entrance, emerging from the ocean in a white bikini holding two large seashells, the sun shining on her wet blonde hair, is considered a classic James Bond scene, establishing both the character and actress as a sex symbol. Ursula Andress referred to the Dr. No bikini as the “secret of her success.”

Iconic Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra (1960s)
Cleopatra is a 1963 American epic historical drama film directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, with a screenplay adapted from the 1957 book “The Life and Times of Cleopatra” by Carlo Maria Franzero, and from histories by Plutarch, Suetonius, and Appian.
The film chronicles the struggles of Cleopatra, the young queen of Egypt, to resist the imperial ambitions of Rome. The film stars Elizabeth Taylor in the eponymous role. She was still married to Eddie Fisher at the time, but began a highly public affair with Richard Burton on set while filming.
Three weeks into its theatrical release, Cleopatra became the number-one box office film in the United States, grossing $725,000 in 17 key cities. It held the top position for the next twelve weeks before being dethroned by The V.I.P.s, which also starred Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. It recaptured the number-one spot three weeks later, and proved to be the highest-grossing film of 1963.
The film won four Academy Awards and was nominated for five more. It also earned Elizabeth Taylor a Guinness World Record for the most costume changes in a film (65).
