[MrScorpio]

1. You're evil

Really. Evil to the core

[elshiva]

4. Why? Too bad we can't post Bettie Page pics!

:(

[MrScorpio]

8. Yes we can

And Betty would win, hands down

[elshiva]

15. Well, we CAN, but it would lock this thread.

Why? Because the mods worry that people will start posting her bondage photos.
So be careful...

[Strong Atheist]

48. She has perfectly "G"-rated pics ... nt.

[ghostsofgiants]

42. Agreed, Bettie Page would definitely get my vote.

[yvr girl]

7. Why do you say that

Surely, you must be able to vote for one of them.

[MrScorpio]

10. Between Rita and Sophia, I'm torn

The rest are pretty hot too

[KitchenWitch]

2. Ava Gardner

with Sophia Loren a close second.

[elshiva]

3. Marilyn Monroe!

:loveya: I recommend "Marilyn" by Gloria Steinem. Monroe was one classy lady.

[Stockholm]

30. I second that!

n/t

[Oeditpus Rex]

5. Loren

But I'd be lookin' at Liz out of the corner of my eye.

[ulysses]

6. Ingrid Bergman. n/t

[yvr girl]

14. A beautiful woman for sure

But not really known as a sex symbol. Same reason I didn't include Grace Kelly or Audrey Hepburn.

[Shine]

9. Sophia Loren, hands down. What a beauty!! n/t.

[TheProphetess]

11. Hands down, it's gotta be Sophia Loren

She's stunning.

[tuvor]

12. Ava, absolutely. However...

It would've been a lot easier to decide if you didn't include Rita, Marilyn, and especially that picture of Sophia!



:wow:

[yvr girl]

13. I'm not here to make your life easier

But wow, she is stunning in that picture, isn't she.

[jobycom]

21. No kidding, that picture slants it. nt

[mitchum]

16. All of them except for Betty Grable...

I never understood the WWII lust for Betty Grable.
"You mean you want me to get cut to ribbons on Normandy Beach...for THAT?"

[yvr girl]

17. kick for the day crowd

[Deep13]

18. Bridget Bardot nt

[progmom]

19. Ava or Sophia

But based on the picture you posted of Ava, she got my vote.

[imperialismispasse]

20. Ava Gardner. If she was good enough for Frank shes good enough

for me.

[jobycom]

23. Which Frank? I know she dated Howard Hughes, but only because of

The Aviator.

[imperialismispasse]

24. Sinatra

[jobycom]

25. Ah. The dude who could sing, act, and slap female croupiers!

I've heard of him.

(Just kidding, I like him.)

[jobycom]

22. I'm 40, and to the best of my knowledge of only seen three of them in

movies or live shots, and one of those was mostly in commercials when she was much older and larger.

I've seen Marilyn in one movie I can remember, and a bunch of clips. I think I've seen Sophia Loren in a movie. I've seen clips of Liz Taylor, but I mostly know her through her later commercials.

I guess I don't see a lot of old movies.

[ET Awful]

26. I'm more partial to a young Audrey Hepburn than any of the above

:9

[SlavesandBulldozers]

40. amen

she should certainly be in the above list.

:7

[WindRavenX]

27. you know what's eff'd up?

Most of these models would be considered too "heavy" today...

[Bridget Burke]

28. Yup. They'd definitely be made to lose weight!

Stars of today?

[WindRavenX]

31. AHHHHHHHHH SKELETOR~!!

:scared:

[Shell Beau]

29. I've always thought Ava was gorgeous and plan on

naming my daughter Ava! :)

[Yavin4]

32. God Has Never Created A More Sexier Woman Than Sophia Loren

Wow! Just wow!

[dryan]

33. What is it with...

movie stars from 'the golden age'? The women seemed to be a lot 'hotter' than they are today. Salma Hayek, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Ashley Judd and Angelina Jolie are the only current stars that I think can compete with classic stars for looks.

[dryan]

34. Where is Maureen O'Hara....

or Rhonda Fleming...they were both pretty hot

[SlavesandBulldozers]

41. don't forget Scarlett

or Naomi


i think "golden age" beauty is "back". not to mention that the old black and white format played no small part in the establisment of a "classic" look. also, in many ways, "classic" beauty of the "golden age" means "lily-white". There was no Salma Hayek type back in the day, Salma seems almost anti-classic, "exotic". And god bless her for it, too, she's amazing.

[dryan]

45. Katy Jurado....

was really beautiful. FYI Rita Hayworth was Hispanic.

[Hardrada]

35. I love to see Rosalind Russell and Myrna Loy in movies.

They had a sort of idiosyncratic aristocratic beauty. Yowza!

[ronnykmarshall]

36. Sophia!!

But I have to say .... I love that picture of La Monore.

[Hugin]

37. Had to go with Sophia...

*swoon*

[speedoo]

38. Anita Ekberg would get some votes.

Especially if you had posted a pic of her dancing in that amazingly low cut dress in La Dolce Vita. I still would like to know whether there was any, um..., support other than what she was, um...., naturally endowed with.

[wildhorses]

39. I see you guys think Lana Turner is chopped liver

:wtf:


guys never cease to amaze me ...I guess that's a good thing

[Rambis]

43. Grace Kelley?

[hobo_baggins]

44. I was always a fan of Hedy Lamarr

Beauty and brains, a winning combo.

[dryan]

47. Hedy Lamar....

used to live in Central Florida. Real beauty!

[sasquatch]

50. THAT'S HEADLEY!!

:grr:

[hippywife]

60. Would have been my choice, too.

I've always thought she was a beauty! But of the batch offered, I had to go with Rita Hayworth with Sophia a close second. A really tough choice, tho, except for Liz Taylor. Ugh.

[maveric]

46. You forgot one. Lauren Bacall.

[SaveElmer]

49. Bingo...

Definitely would have been my choice!!!

[mdmc]

51. nice pic thread..

[seemunkee]

52. Veronica Lake

[madrchsod]

53. ava

she makes the latest crop of bad girls look like angels.

[unsavedtrash]

54. Marlene Dietrich

[LynzM]

55. Ava Gardner

Damn. :wow:

[twenty4blackbirds]

56. Sophia Loren looks great

she looks like she'd be up for anything

[Montauk6]

57. All but Grable & Turner (they do nothing for me), and I would add

Lena Horne


Gina Lollobrigida


Olivia De Havilland


Dinah Shore

[Orrin_73]

58. I have to go for Marilyn

She was fabulous.

[boobooday]

59. I can't choose

They all look gorgeous.

But my GAWD, Elizabeth Taylor was breathtakingly beautiful. I don't know if she was the sexiest, but what a face!

[graywarrior]

61. Sophia
