Sixties screen goddesses Raquel Welch and Ursula Andress beat modern pin-ups Kelly Brook and Kate Upton to be crowned hottest EVER bikini babes

Screen goddesses Raquel Welch, Ursula Andress and Marilyn Monroe have triumphed over today's pin-ups including Kate Upton and Kelly Brook in a poll of the 50 hottest ever bikini babes. 

 

Although it's 50 years since Raquel, now 75, donned a fur bikini to play a cave woman in One Million Years BC, the image is so enduring that the sight has eclipsed today's stars curvy including Kelly Brook, Michelle Keegan and Holly Willoughby.

In fact, today's celebrities don't even make it into the top three with Kelly Brook taking fourth place after the Dr No actress and the blonde bombshell Marilyn.
