18 March 2024 We have a Sabrina Mystery! A 1956 contract between notorious nude photographer Russell Gay and Sabrina regarding pictures of her to be used in a book to be released.
Remember when Sabrina appeared on stage in plays? 16 March 2024 English glamour model and actress Sabrina in rehearsal for her appearance with Arthur Askey on 'Sunday Night at the Palladium' in London, UK, 18th March 1963. Greetings from 1955. A new picture from the little Wall Collection. British actress Sabrina stands in a street surrounded by male admirers while on a visit to the London Stock Exchange, London, April 29th, 1958. Actor and comedian Harry Secombe (1921 - 2001) dancing with model Sabrina during a BBC Television Tea Party held at the Television Centre in White City, London, September 26th 1955. The party was given by Cecil Madden, assistant controller of the BBC, to inaugurate the new extra hour of afternoon TV. Due to the large number of guests, the event was filmed in the TV Centre's scenery dock. Sabrina gatecrashes the Ascot Races in 1957
13 March 2024 Some things bug me: Donald Trump, inaccurate weather forecasts, and anal itching. But especially Sabrina pictures with no back story. Like this one: Sabrina with Kenneth More, Nigel Stock, and Windsor Davies and two ladies... but I don't know why, where or when. But today I may have found the why, where and when of this mystery pic. Why: to plug ITV's autumn shows: "All are scheduled to appear in shows for ABC TV are (l-r) Jeremy Brett, Diana Rigg, Ian Carmichael, Vanessa Redgrave, Francesca Annis, Kenneth More, Sabrina, Nigel Stock, Pauline Yates and Donald Churchill." Where: Hyde Park, London When: 23 September 1964 So. That's what I achieved today (2024-03-13). What did you accomplish? :-) 12 March 2024 Some colourised enhancements to the page in which Sabrina tosses Joe Robinson down.

Sabrina was the impossibly-proportioned darling of Britain, the cast of the Goon Show , and most discerning testosterone-enabled beings during the 1950s and 1960s. Sabrina, Norma Ann Sykes , D.Litt (Hon) was the voluptuous British Stockport lass who became Sabrina and accomplished above the hips what Elvis accomplished below . She was the Cheshire cheese-cake pinup, actress, singer, cabaret star, publicity pioneer, and sex-queen who didn't like to be touched. She was a 'dumb blonde' who was a genius at self-promotion, an ill-educated teenager because of lengthy hospital stays, and an honorary Doctor of Letters with an impossibly-proportioned figure. A victim of polio, mocked for her lack of talent and excess of bosom, she became an international phenomenon who dated princes; charmed dictators, the public and cynical reporters; and generated more myths, lies, legends and throbbing memories than anyone else of her era. Falling more or less accidentally into an industry for which she was - at first - unqualified, she endured, trained, paid her dues, and thrived to become the biggest, least talented, most photographed celebrity of her day. Was she, as she herself once said, just a dumb blonde with a 42½ inch bust and a 19 inch waist? Or was she an pioneering promotional genius with a native sense of publicity that would make most agents weep with envy? |

If you have found Sabrina stuff , I would be delighted if you contacted me . There are precious few undiscovered pictures still to be on the internet but I'm sure there are still a few knees trembling out there, especially in the UK, and those knee-owners may have a buried Sabrina treasure or two in the sock drawer. This is an international philanthropic enterprise, for the benefit of red-blooded males everywhere. Go on - the wife will never know. Young men :
go to your aged fathers and grandfathers and say, "Do you remember
Sabrina?" If their eyes glaze over and they start drooling, let
me know . You! You were a knee-trembler of the Sabrina
generation . There may just be a magazine, a photo, or a single
hair of hers that you have treasured for more than half a century. Go to it, lads! Sabrina is the last great
unexploded bombshell from the blonde and busty 1950s. (Wipes tear from eye.) And the final appeal is from Sabrina herself (from Mountains of the Moon ) Thank you - thank you all !Can you support the Sabrina Site? |

The golden keys beneath
some of the images on this site are remnants of the " B est O f O ur B eautiful S abrina" scheme whereby special folk who contributed valuable Sabrinastuff could get privileged access to high-quality versions of pix and video. The Elite BOOBS Society - B est O f O ur B eautiful S abrina - for discerning and deserving gentlefolk
only. But fear not: contributors of rare and wonderful Sabrinastuff can still get mega-sized pix or videos - such as Odysseas from Art & Hue who produced a wonderful Sabrina pop-art poster from a high-resolution image I sent him. Thanks to all past B.O.O.B.S, members for your support. |
