Actresses I must lust after (even if others don't)

Cafe Society

Sweet Og in Heaven, fellas, you’ve got some exquisite taste! Joan Cusack…Teri Garr (I remember wishing Dave Letterman would pair up with either her or Bonnie Hunt)…Elizabeths Perkins and McGovern (anybody remember Ragtime?)…Dana Delany and Laura Dern…“Lorelei” Lauren Graham and Virginia (where’s she been all these years) Madsen…sex vampire Sean Young…and that brain-with-legs Allison Janney…

I’ll add Lorraine Bracco, Ellen Barkin, Megan Mullally, Rebecca Pidgeon, Christine Baranski, Jill Clayburgh, Jobeth Williams, Kathleen Quinlan, Marilu Henner…and stepping into the Wayback Machine: Elinor Donahue ([sub]anybody noticing an Irish trend here?[/sub]), Hope Lange, loose-limbed young freakazoid Carol Burnett, Barbara bel Geddes circa Vertigo, Valli from The Third Man, and what the hell, let’s throw in sassy-talking comedy reliefer Charlotte Greenwood…

I saw her on Celebrity Poker and was totally infatuated. I’m not usually attracted tot he giggly give-the-appearance-of-brainless types, but she was just so adorable.

43

If I were stuck on an island, my choice would be Elizabeth Pena. I especially like her in Lone Star.

44

Good call! I can’t believe I neglected both her and Bonnie Hunt!

I also can’t believe I forgot to list both Aisha Tyler and Penny Johnson Jerald aka Sherry Palmer from “24.”

45

I’ll see your Bridget Fonda and raise you a Laura Linney. I only relate the two to each other because their birthdays are very close, if not the same date.

And you can’t say Tina Fey without including Amy Poehler, IMO.

46

I included both above!

47

That’s fine. Y’all can have all of the above! I’ll just wait here on the corner until Jaquelyn Bisset comes sauntering by.

48

I’ll go along with Tina Fey for sure, and I sure wouldn’t throw some of the others on this list out. Two women I never hear about people lusting after that I’d put on my short list:

Cynthia Nixon
Norah Jones

49

Famke Janssen is a professional model. She’s famous for BEING beautiful; it’s preposterous to mention her in a thread about actresses you think are sexy that don’t have a reputation for being beautiful.

There’s a few others like that sneaking in, too; Alyson Hannigan is a widely beloved sex symbol on the Net, as is Tina Fey.

50

I’ve always wanted to be the beefy center to a Tilly-sister-sandwich.

Meg and Jennifer, that is.

ZOW!

51

Merciful Og in Heaven Above! TWO Tilly girls! My pleasure centers would frickin short out!

Kudos to those mentioning Laura Linney. I’dathought she was a near-universal lust object.

Two that not everyone might agree with: Jane Kaczmarek and Joy Behar.

Did I mention Wendie Malick earlier? No? Well, then. Wendie Malick!

52

Jane Krakowski

I’m developing a serious letch for that lady.
I saw Joan Cusack in Ice Princess this weekend. That woman is just plain butt-ugly. However, Michelle Trachtenberg more than made up for her.

53

Jennifer Ehle.

I would gladly sever one of my own limbs and eat it raw for the opportunity to watch her read the phone book in a live performance.

54

I’ve always had a thing for Cynthia Stevenson.

55

I always liked Bebe Neuwirth. Not what a lot of guys would consider a classic beauty, but there’s something about her…

56

Amanda Pays of The Flash and Max Headroom fame.

57

I think Sigourney Weaver is very attractive.

And I feel weird picking someone so much older but Helen Mirren does it for me.

Carolyn Jones (Morticia from the original Addam’s family) is a complete hottie. No one ever mentions her.

No one’s picked (I don’t think) Christina Ricci. Very nice. Is she officially hot or not?

58

I used to think so. Lately, not so much.

59

I think Bjork is amazingly hot. 'Course, I also have a thing for weird art girls in general.

60

You might want to check out a movie called The Long Good Friday, British, circa 1980, in which Mirren plays gangster Bob Hoskins’s girlfriend. Kind of a jaw-drop moment when you see what she looked like back in the day. You’ll feel perfectly justified.

(As for the film, it’s not a really great movie, but Hoskins give a good performance. It holds the attention all the way through.)
