Apart from being some of the most alluring sex symbols ever, can you think of anything else that Brigitte Bardot, Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield and Bettie Page have in common? They all graced the Playboy pages during the 1950’s, a decade renowned for being the last great era of old-style glamour. The Playboy Cover to Cover Digital Archive ($8/month) gives you the chance to look back at some of Playboys greatest moments, and it wasn’t all just about the women, honestly.
