1964: The Pleasure Seekers

Ann-Margret, not just a pleasure seeker...

But a pleasure giver...

And a bit of pleasure-teaser as well, spending a good portion of the movie driving one young man out if his mind...

Here she throws a whole room of men for a loop...

And works a beach into a lather...

In 1964, with this and Viva Las Vegas, The Ann-Margret-Era was in full swing, as it was now obvious she was the Sexiest Performer on the planet... And "performer" is the operative word... A-M might have been the Sexiest WOman as well, but her unique talent clearly was the ability to Perform Sexy... Singing, dancing, talking, or just looking -- she had it in spades and knew how to project it...

Archetype(s): Entertainer - Vixen

Paraphilia(s): Frottaphilia ; Narratophilia

In addition to A-M, Pamela Tiffin was also an "It-Girl" in 1964...

Carol Lynley was trying to be an "It-Girl" in 1964 too, but ultimately she just didn't have it... Of course it didn't help she was trying to get it with Brian Keith as her boyfriend... ("What's the problem? I'll just grumble, moan and under-act every scene I'm in... What do you mean, there's nothing to work with?")
