Sabrina, (Norma Ann Sykes) was a 1950s English glamour model who progressed to a minor movie career.
Her main claim to fame was her hourglass figure with large natural breasts coupled with a tiny 17" waist.
Here she appears in a 1961 Caltex Australian TV commercial and gets a lesson on being "fair dinkum".
British aircrews of the 1950s Royal Air Force dubbed some versions of the Hawker Hunter fighter plane, "Sabrina's" due to two large humps on the underside of the aircraft and in the late 1950s the British truck manufacturer ERF produced a semi-forward control HGV with a short protruding bonnet - those vehicles were also nicknamed "Sabrina's" because they had "a little more in front."
Her penultimate movie role was in the horror movie The Ice House (1969), as a replacement for Jayne Mansfield who had recently died in a car accident.
