Top Five Favorite Classic B-Movie Bombshells
When thinking about B-movies, some may consider the “B” to represent a lesser quality film. Some however, may consider the “B” to represent “Bombshell”. There are many actresses to date that have shown that they are not afraid to get their hands dirty when it comes to B-movie madness. B-movies are a trend, more often than not even considered a cult. They can range from the absolutely absurd, Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes, to such greats as the Exorcist, and The Fog. The fact remains, many lovely ladies have graced the big screen with less than high quality productions under their belts. Many people may not know that some of the most prominent actresses today have even had their share of B-movie stardom.
One of the biggest cult attractions to date, which are still adored by millions of followers, is The Rocky Horror Picture Show. This fine piece of work did indeed star a lovely bombshell by the name Susan Sarandon. This great title made in 1975, captures the true essence of B-movie madness.

With an awesome soundtrack that is still being hailed as great, and an outstanding cast, this is a sure-fire winner. It is however, Susan Sarandon that steals the show, making her one of the true silver screen B-movie Bombshells.
Topping in as another top five B-movie Bombshells would definitely have to be Adrienne Barbeau. This lovely vixen who graced the big screen in classics like The Fog, had fans steamed up over the not so ideal weather conditions. This film was about a Northern Californian town by the name of Antonio Bay. It was a small fishing town that had a less than picture perfect past. On the eve of the town’s 100-year celebration, the dead that paid the price for the towns completion are back to redeem what they believe is rightfully theirs. Setting a tone for sheer horror, The Fog places light house attendant and radio host Stevie Wayne (Adrienne Barbeau) in the thick of the action. Her sexy and voluptuous role landed her a ticket to the B-movie bombshell all time greats list.
When dubbing a queen of B-movie madness, few can argue the true sexy vixen stardom of Fay Wray. This champion of B-movie scream had few competitors in the ring. A lead role in the classic film King Kong released in the year 1933, this true bombshell with the satin veil captured the hearts of fans, without reserve. Men around the world fell in love with this true film goddess. Time after time, this delicious film starlet gave men the quivers with her B-movie magic. This lends to the throne of one of the most dynamic women in the history of the silver screen. There really is no timeframe laid out as to when a starlet was to be deemed a bombshell, which leads to the strong case that Fay Wray is the epitome of true bombshell.
When you think about true bombshells, silver screen or not, few people will dispute the prowess of Jane Fonda. This flavorful starlet of countless films has driven the demand for sexy vixens on screen to the point of epic proportions. This lovely star of the classic B-movie Barbarella, that entailed basically nothing more than intergalactic sex, is not without serious accolade in her lifetime. She has appeared in countless films that have won very prestigious awards. Yet few can forget the true powers that Barbarella held over the male population. For this very reason, Jane Fonda will easily fit into the bill of true B-movie Bombshell for years to come.
Finally we come to perhaps the most noted and most recognized starlet in movie history. We are speaking of Marylyn Monroe. She left her family only to become one of histories most notable characters basically abandoned this sexy bombshell born under the true name of Norma Jean Mortensen. This scrumptious full figured blonde bombshell, had men at her fingertips. She could command the attention from any male she desired. This included the likes of the President of the United States John F Kennedy, and even his younger brother Robert Kennedy. Starting out as a swimsuit model, she moved on to the very first Playboy centerfold in Playboy’s history in 1953. This model turned starlet made perhaps the biggest impact on men, out of all the big screen actresses in the history of movies. Albeit the fact that she was a bombshell and, she had Hollywood at her finger tips her movies were still considered at best B-rated movies.
