A "Sex symbol" is a celebrity of either sex, typically an actor or actress, musician, supermodel, teen idol, sports star, or even a politician, noted for being widely regarded as sexually attractive. The concept of the 'sex symbol' was first used sometime between the 1910s and 1920s, before gaining much more prominence in general culture in the mid-1950s with the popularity of certain film stars, including Marilyn Monroe, Brigitte Bardot, Marlon Brando, James Dean, and Raquel Welch.
