Lee Merlin, Miss Atomic Bomb, 1957

On May 24, 1957, the Las Vegas News Bureau released the last, and arguably, most famous "Miss Atomic Bomb" photo of all to coincide with Operation Plumbbob at the Nevada Test Site. All Las Vegas Strip hotel showrooms had their own lines of showgirls, who performed in between the famous headliners. Donald English took the famous Miss Atomic Bomb photo of Copa showgirl Lee A. Merlin at the Sands Hotel. With a cotton mushroom cloud added to the front of her swim suit, the publicity photo of the last Miss Atomic Bomb has appeared and continues to appear in hundreds of publications worldwide.
