To millions of men, Sylvia Kristel will forever be the girl who inspired their first boyhood fantasies.
The film actress caused a global sensation in 1974 with the title role in Emmanuelle, about a promiscuous housewife.
It was one of mainstream cinema’s first erotic movies.
But today – 38 years and countless dreams later – many of the 650million fans who have seen it were in mourning after its glamorous star died, aged 60.
The Dutch actress had survived cocaine addiction, alcoholism, throat cancer, a stroke and also a string of doomed love affairs.
She owned homes in glitzy locations across the world – but lost them all after going broke.
The screen legend ended her days in a small flat above a cafe in Utrecht, Holland.
“Sylvia died in her sleep on Wednesday night,” agent Marieke Verharen said today.
And the film’s director Just Jaeckin said: “I am very sad. She was like a little sister.”
Emmanuelle caused huge controversy on release. It was initially banned in Paris and was heavily cut in Britain before eventually being given an X-certificate.
The unedited version did not appear here until 2007.
It was promoted by a photo of a partially-clad and to

The Dutch star of the hit 1974 erotic film Emmanuelle has died of cancer aged 60.
Dutch actress Sylvia Kristel, whose iconic Emmanuelle role symbolised the sexual revolution during the 1970s and who spent years fighting drug addiction, has died aged 60 after a battle with cancer.
'She died during the night during her sleep,' agent Marieke Verharen of Features Creative Management said of Kristel, who had been admitted to an Amsterdam hospital in July following a stroke.
Kristel (60) was catapulted to fame by her first movie, Emmanuelle, in 1974, which described the erotic adventures of a young woman in Asia. A worldwide success, it was shown in a cinema on the Champs-Elysees in Paris for 13 years.
The first Emmanuelle film was seen by at least 350 million people at the cinema, Dutch media reported, saying she lured movie-goers with her 'natural erotic attraction' and had made 'soft-core pornography acceptable'.
A series of sequels followed, also starring Kristel, with Emmanuelle 2 in 1975, Goodbye Emmanuelle in 1977 and Emmanuelle 4 in 1984. Kristel went on to play in a string of other risqué films including a nudity-filled 1985 portrayal of first World War spy Mata Hari.
Kristel was born on September 28th, 1952 in Utrecht, where her parents ran a hotel near the train station. In her 2006 autobiography, Naked, she wrote of having been sexually abused at age

Dutch actress Sylvia Kristel's breakthrough role in the erotic 1974 movie 'Emmanuelle' led to several sequels and appearances in more than 50 other films.
Actress Sylvia Kristel, the Dutch star of the hit 1970s erotic movie 'Emmanuelle,' has died of cancer in the Netherlands. She was 60.
Kristel died in her sleep Wednesday night, according to a statement from her agent, Features Creative Management.
Her breakthrough came in 'Emmanuelle,' a 1974 erotic tale directed by Frenchman Just Jaeckin, about the sexual adventures of a man and his beautiful young wife, played by Kristel.
She went on to star in several sequels to 'Emmanuelle,' as well as in Hollywood movies including 'The Concorde: Airport '79,' 'The Fifth Musketeer' (both 1979) and 'Private Lessons' (1981).
Kristel appeared in more than 50 films, many erotically tinted, including a 1981 adaptation — also directed by Jaeckin — of D.H. Lawrence's novel 'Lady Chatterley's Lover.'
She was honored in 2006 with a special jury prize at the Tribeca Film Festival for a short animated film she directed called 'Topor et Moi.'
Kristel told the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant in 2005 that her former partner, Belgian author Hugo Claus, had persuaded her to star in 'Emmanuelle,' which was set in Thailand.

Sylvia Kristel, a Dutch actress who became an international sex star after she played the title role in the 1974 erotic film “Emmanuelle,” died on Wednesday in the Netherlands. She was 60.
The cause was cancer, her agency, Features Creative Management said in a statement on its Web site, without saying where she died. AVN, a trade publication for the sex film industry, reported that she died at home in The Hague.
Ms. Kristel was a willowy, dark-haired model and beauty contest winner in her early 20s with scant acting experience when she was cast by the French director Just Jaeckin as Emmanuelle, the wife of a French diplomat in Bangkok who seeks solace for her boredom in a variety of sexual encounters.
With its simulated sex scenes shot largely in soft focus, an exotic locale and a sentimental pop score, the film became an avatar of soft-core pornography. An immediate hit in France — it stayed at the same theater in Paris for several years — and later in Japan, where it was perceived as a triumph of feminism (mostly, Ms. Kristel pointed out, for one scene in which Emmanuelle climbs on top of her husband during sex), it was distributed in the United States by a major studio, Columbia Pictures, a relatively respectable alternative to the scandalous hits of two years earlier, “Deep Throat” and “Behind the Green Door.”
Ms. Kristel went on to appear in several Emmanuelle feature films and made-for-television movies.

Which one is the best Age or non-age whisky? Why is Non-Age-Statment Whisky Getting So Popular?
Whisky as a whole has seen a surge in popularity in the last 10 to 15 years. As a result, once-plentiful supplies of aged whiskeys have dwindled. Because fewer aged whiskies can be found on the shelves, NAS whisky has become more common.
That may sound like a letdown to those who are accustomed to drinking aged whisky, but there’s no need to blame whisky newcomers for depleting your supply. Non-Age-Statment (NAS) whisky can be every bit as tasty and sophisticated as aged whisky, and it has open the floodgates for whisky distillers to experiment with new blends that can revolutionize the whisky-drinking experience!
Although NAS whisky has experienced a popularity boom in recent years, it’s actually been around for a long time. Johnnie Walker is a well-known example of a NAS whisky blend that has been around for a good while. During its time in the spotlight, it has fortified a reputation as one of the world’s most popular whiskies.
