TORONTO, Oct 10, 2006 (UPI via COMTEX) -- Madonna topped Marilyn Monroe in a Canadian newspaper's list of the 50 greatest sex symbols.
Also making the Toronto Sun's Top 10 were Elvis Presley, Sophia Loren, the Beatles, Brad Pitt, Mick Jagger, Brigitte Bardot, Farrah Fawcett and Robert Redford.
The newspaper says it gave Madonna the top spot as an "acknowledgment of her extraordinary aptitude for using sex to provoke and promote." The Sun said that "while others have been sexier, none has been more cunning
in needling and nudging popular tastes to their own commercial gain."
