In the 1970s being a “sex symbol” meant something very different than what it does today, but it was the beginning of tight pants and low cut shirts. This decade saw a lot of stunning women make their way on to both the small and big screen, many of which are still considered Hollywood’s iconic beauties. From Bond girls to blockbuster stars, these women were not only beautiful but had a wide array of talents to match and they quickly became the A-list, dominating the spotlight. Many had careers spanning several decades, but some of their biggest and most recognizable works all happened in the ’70s.
