While there are many famously sexy actresses that don’t interest me at all there are a few that never get a mention in the sex-symbol stakes that I love to see on screen -
Christine Lahti
Elizabeth McGovern
Terri Garr
Elizabeth Perkins
Laura Dern
and even Bonnie Bedelia although she always looks like she has been slapped in the face with a dead fish.
Any more?

Mimi Rogers always sends out a promise of wild sexual adventure.

Even before her turn in _Exit to Eden_ (complete with full frontal nudity!), I’d step over my dying mother for [Dan Delany](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001127/).

Always nice when they do ‘The Full _Walkabout_’. 😃
So is Dan Dana’s brother? 😛
I have to second Laura Dern. Very cute. And Holly Hunter.

Gwyneth Paltrow seems to take a lot of abuse on this message board. I’ve never been able to figure out why. Same with Kirsten Dunst. Hey, the two of them can make me a sandwich any day.
Laura Dern
Helen Hunt
Rachael Ray
Linda Fiorentino
Miranda Otto
But I’d trade them all in for a little taste of Juliet Lewis. Ah yes, Juliet. Come to papa. All for tdn, yep. _smooch_ _kiss_ _unzip_
What?

Whenever I see Juliet Lewis, I think ‘Dolphin Haid!’ She has that really big forehead, like a dolphin (fish) or a dolphin (mammal).
But that wouldn’t make me turn down a gift freely offered… 😉

Heh. Yeah, I’m into her mammalian protuberences two. Er, too. And I don’t mind that fishy smell.

Time machine sex? Lauren Bacall! As she was in _The Big Sleep!_ (But make sure it’s the director’s cut.)

Michelle Forbes and Sean Young.
Both at once would be just fine.
