From at least the 30s (the advent of talking movies) to the early 60s a "tomato" was a good looking woman.
In one of Victor Mature's (a relative big star in the 40's and 50's) he was talking with Betty Grable (a sex symbol during those years) and someone walks up and says: Hiya Vic, who's the tomato?

Tomato
A term used to describe someone who is denial of his homosexuality...because even though you think a tomato is a vegetable, it's really a "fruit"
