I'm curious as to whether Lee had alot of female fans. He certainly had the physique, demeanor, masculinity and charisma. I think if he was marketed better in the US he could have been a sex symbol on par with Eastwood.
He obviously didn't have conventional matinee idol looks, but many other actors with unconventional looks managed to gain status as a sex symbol (Teddy Savalas, Humphrey Bogart, Vin Diesel)
