The flappers were made popular by progressives, the image was to make a women look like a boy. |

View Quote thats very interesting. I knew that major advanced in plastic surgery occurred after WW1, but I was under the impression it didn't become mainstream until the late 50's-70's but.. these women were far from average. they were on another level. |

It's almost impossible for a woman to make it in Hollywood and NOT be a hottie. Attractive women have always been a thing there.
As far as doing more with their hotness I'd say the mid 80s to early 90s were the most free with nudity, so that's probably the best era for me. |

Audrey Hepburn has the added benefit of being a legitimate war hero, fought in the Dutch resistance. Hedy Lamar as well for her contributions to radar. And yeah, this was when women knew how to be beautiful without being a ho about it.
