On A Boat
In April 1956, for an unknown reason, Sabrina was in a boat And everyone was happy she was there
Astride a Wooden Chair
Sitting astride a chair is a little saucy in the 21st century. It would've been even more titillating in the 1950s

Off the shoulder (1955)

A series of early photos taken at the beginning of Sabrina's career in 1955

Sabrina appears over British TV.

London, England.... Here's an example of what British televiewers will see when they turn on their TV sets in September 22, the day Britain takes her first step into commercial TV. This young lady is known as Sabrina, a BBC discovery, who might be described as a 40-inch edition of Jane Russell. Up to this time Sabrina has never spoken a word in front of the camera. The BBC will remain a government-chartered corporation without commercials but after Sept 22 it will have to compete for viewers with the new commercial telecasting firms operating under a new government agency, the Independent Television Authority.
