25 Seductive Photos of Heartbreaker Sabrina, the British Marilyn Monroe (25 Photos)

The British Marilyn Monroe—a "silent" blonde beauty with no particular talents, yet an incredible figure. She dazzled on screen in the mid-20th century, surrounded by spotlights, wealthy admirers, and compliments. But how did it all end? Find out in our article.





Briton Norma Ann Sykes—also known as Sabrina—possessed no special talents; she could neither sing nor dance, nor did she have acting skills. Yet, given her looks, none of that mattered. She boasted an hourglass figure with an incredible set of measurements: 108-48-91.

Sabrina was one of the exotic rising stars molded in the image of the sex symbol Marilyn Monroe.



Norma had been striving for stardom since the age of 19. In 1955, comedian Arthur Askey began looking for a young woman to play a "dumb blonde" role in his show, *Right Before Your Eyes*. Despite Norma’s lack of acting talent, after a screen test, Arthur came up with a stage name for her and launched her career.



Her slender waist—measuring just 48 cm—along with her stunning bust and hips, made an indelible impression on audiences.

Every week, the capricious actress received thousands of letters from smitten fans, yet she preferred wealthy and promising suitors. She was frequently spotted with global stars such as Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra.

Perhaps Ann won them over with her charisma, but her "hourglass" figure was undoubtedly her main draw. Consequently, the British star insured her "assets" for £100,000.

"I use my bust as a 'springboard' to get the best things," she once said in an interview.



Here you can see a collection of photos of the "British Monroe," taken in the 1950s and 1960s. In these shots, the woman who was the dream of so many men—and who knew exactly what she was worth—casts a flirtatious, piercing gaze at the photographer.



While the pin-up star excelled at posing for the camera, her acting skills were abysmal. Consequently, she was usually cast in "silent" roles as a sexy beauty, with very few lines to deliver.

Revealing dresses accentuated her outstanding assets. She loved the attention and the gazes of "hungry" men.

Sabrina first bared it all for the camera at the age of 16, and she didn't stop there. Why hide such a "temptation" under layers of clothing?

Without a trace of shyness, the young woman was completely at ease in front of the lens. She smiled seductively at the camera, flashed playful glances, and struck a variety of poses. No matter the angle, the focus remained on the curves of her perfect body and her huge "eyes."



News of the beauty's death surfaced online just last year.

Sabrina played her final film role in 1969, after which she gave up her acting career. She had married two years prior, but the marriage proved unsuccessful and fell apart after ten years.



After the divorce, Sabrina settled on the outskirts of Hollywood, lived as a recluse, and stopped communicating with journalists.

For many years, the former star did not make public appearances or speak to the press. In 2007, British tabloids reported that Norma was bedridden and living in poverty. She acknowledged having back problems but denied lacking money.

As reported by the *Mirror* in 2017, the elderly and solitary Ann had passed away back in 2016 at the age of 80, following a blood infection caused by a botched medical procedure.



A former star and the dream of millions of men passed away in obscurity and poverty, having spent the final years of her life bedridden.
