Been meaning to put this up for awhile. This is probably my favorite shot of Sabrina, I hope the reasons are clear.
The New York trip comes to an end today, I'll have shots up tomorrow, big thanks ahead of time to my sweet ass hosts Jen & Scott, the folks who met up with me, knowing nothing more than my photos, the folks who came out to a vaguely smelly bar in Brooklyn to watch me in the middle of my four day alcohol binge, hell, thanks even to the one dame that showed up at the bar only to disappear less than two minutes later.
Thanks to Jim & Jeremy, to Elizabeth, Barbara(who shall forever be my number one), to the B.A.T. crew, and a special thanks to Blaise, who posed and posed, despite rain, odd laundromat light, and me late because I was lost in Brooklyn. Easy to be sweet on a girl like that.
But them's pictures for the future. Today's Sabrina. Enjoy.

Voluptuous pinup, cabaret star and actress Sabrina (1936) was the British answer to Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield. With a 42½ inch bust and a 17 inch waist, her nickname became Britain's finest hourglass. Although she made just a few films, she was one of the most photographed celebrities of her day. Was she just a dumb, talent-free blonde or a promotional genius?
Sabrina was born Norma Ann Sykes in Stockport, England in 1936. Her parents were Annie Sykes-Haslam, a seamstress, and Walter Sykes, who worked in Mechanical Engineering. She attended St George's School, Cheshire, from 1940-1949 where she won several medals for swimming. Her family moved to Blackpool in 1949, where she acquired a strong Lancashire accent. As a teenager, Norma Ann contracted polio for four years, and was hospitalized for two years. A doctor prescribed a rugged series of exercises to develop her muscles. Each day, she spent hours swimming in a heated pool and performing bodybuilding feats. Her remarkable chest expansion is a direct result of these workouts. At 18, she was modelling in London to show off her new physique. TV producer Bill Ward was looking for a girl for the Beauty Spot feature in Arthur Askey's TV series Before Your Very Eyes. Sabrina's photograph was sent in by her agent, Bill Watts, along with 23 others, he decided his search was over. In the TV show she was a gimmick: a dumb blonde with an impossibly-proportioned figure. In his biography Before Your Very Eyes, Askew later recounted: “We held auditions for a suitable dumb-cluck and found one in Norma Sykes. She had a lovely face and figure, but could not act, sing, dance, or even walk properly, although she had come to London to try her luck as a model. I asked her what she was doing and she told me she was making artificial jewellery, as her broken nails bore witness. Anyway, she was exactly what we wanted.” Till then, Before Your Very Eyes had been only moderately well received by critics and public alike. The introduction of the completely dumb voluptuous blonde, with her tight fitting dresses was a big success in the show and even outshone Askew himself. Fleet Street reporters and interviewers flocked to the studio. ‘British TV's first sex-symbol’ took acting, singing, dancing and elocution lessons with the money she earned. So when the TV contract stopped, she presented a polished cabaret act. She caused a scandal when an old nude picture turned up on the five of spades in a deck of playing cards. Photographer Russell Gay had made a series of nude pictures of her when she was 16, alone and hungry. American actor Steve Cochran later claimed that Sabrina had welcomed the exposure: "She saw her chance for a terrific piece of Marilyn Monroe kind of publicity and grabbed it." In fact, the photos had started her in show business. Glamour photographer Alex Sterling had seen the pictures and he summoned her to his studio. The resultant work was viewed in such men's magazines as Blighty and Spick & Span.
Sabrina made her film debut as Trixie in the adventure film Stock Car (Wolf Rilla, 1955). Despite the elocution lessons, Sabrina’s voice was dubbed with a harsh cockney accent. Ronevickers at IMDb: “Another in the long line of films distributed by Butchers Film Services, who specialised in British B-Movies. Stock Car is not without a certain period charm and, along with other similar efforts such as Wall of Death and Mystery Junction, it does pass away a pleasant enough hour or so.” By then, Sabrina had become a phenomenon. Millions of Brits who watched The Goon Show on television wet themselves whenever Spike Milligan slipped another reference to Sabrina past the BBC censors. The new star made personal appearances at £100 a time, lent her name to advertisers' products, and was on the front cover of English, French, German, Italian and American magazines. She had a cafe, boats, frocks and cocktails named after her. Sabrina debuts in variety: French Capers at venues including Palace Theatre (Leicester), Chiswick Empire (London) and Palace Theatre (Chelsea). She also appeared with Arthur Askew in the comic Western Ramsbottom Rides Again (John Baxter, 1956). For more than a year, she was one of the stars of the West End revue Pleasures of Paris. The Encyclopaedis Sabrina, Mark the ‘SabrinaMaster’ writes: “She was a model, TV hostess, actor, singer, stage performer - and had no talent. Even she admitted that. Why then, was the Western world and the bearded president of Cuba so keen to see her that - at one time -10,000 people in Perth caused an airport terminal to collapse?” She loved publicity stunts. In 1956, Sabrina's dress was torn off by a mob in Birkenhead. She had affairs with Steve Cochran, Prince Christian of Hanover and Harold Rothschild of the London banking tribe. In 1957, her 42,5 inch (39 or 41 inch according to other sources) bust was insured for £125,000 (£100,000 according to some sources). That year she made her best known film, Blue Murder at St. Trinian's (Frank Launder, 1957) with Terry-Thomas and Alastair Sim. Sabrina played one of the sexy school girls in the second film in the series about the anarchic boarding school based on the cartoons by Ronald Searle. She also appeared in the sitcom series Living It Up (1957-1958), a TV version of the popular radio series Band Waggon with Arthur Askey. She signed a lucrative contract for TV appearances in the United States and engagements in Las Vegas, Hollywood, and New York night clubs. After that, she toured through Europe and Australia, where she starred again in Pleasures of Paris. She did a cameo in Make Mine a Million (1959). However Hollywood ignored her.
During the 1960s, Sabrina worked mostly in the US, but also performed in Australia, South America, South Africa and Great Britain. In 1960 she made a controversial visit to Cuba where she 'consorts' with its new revolutionary leader, Fidel Castro. She toured with her cabaret show and in the revue Playgirls. Sabrina also made a few B-movies. The first was Satan in High Heels (Jerald Intrator, 1962), which was not a success. She played a belly-dancer in the horror film House of the Black Death (Harold Daniels, Jerry Warren, 1965) with Lon Chaney jr. and John Carradine. On TV she appeared in an episode of Tarzan (1967) featuring Ron Ely. Tragic circumstances role lead to her role in the horror slasher The Ice House (Stuart E. McGowan, 1969). Jayne Mansfield had already signed to star in the film as the go-go dancing victim 'Venus De Marco'. Filming was slated to begin in July in Mexico, but Mansfield was killed in a car crash near New Orleans on 29 June 1967. Sabrina took over, but the result was disastrous. In 1967, the 31 year old Sabrina married Dr Harold Ludwig Melsheimer, a wealthy Hollywood surgeon. They settled down in Encino. Sabrina was seen in one more film, the Western The Phantom Gunslinger (Albert Zugsmith, 1970) starring Troy Donahue. Then she quitted show business and eased back into an opulent married life. She only appeared in 1974 on Briish TV in This is Your Life to celebrate Arthur Askey. In 1977 she divorced Harold Melsheimer. Sabrina lives in North Hollywood, US.
