4. This 1938 photo of Frank Sinatra after he was arrested in New York and charged with Seduction. The state changed the charge to one of Adultery, as he had actually been "carrying on with a married woman," not a single one. The charge was dropped after Sinatra paid a $500 bond. His mugshot has since become iconic:
5. Marilyn Monroe, then known as Norma Jeane Mortenson, posing for a portrait in 1946 in Los Angeles, California:
Bonus:
6. Veronica Lake with her absolutely iconic long blonde hair in 1941. During WWII, so many women copied her hairstyle (which hung down low over the eye and could cause factory workplace accidents) that the US government asked her to film a series of PSAs officially changing her style from over-eye waves to victory rolls:
