Who were the most famous beauties of the 1960s?
In retrospect, every decade in history has had its own unique concept of beauty. In the 1990s, there was the trend known as "heroine chic," while the 1950s favored voluptuous blondes, and the Roaring Twenties celebrated boyish flappers. The 1960s were fascinating years, as the decade marked the end of the Golden Age of Hollywood and the beginning of a period of liberation. The second wave of feminism encouraged women to embrace their sexuality in a new and empowering way. However, traditional Hollywood beauty symbols still held prominence in popular culture.
