Ah, yes, Veronica Hamel – I’d forgotten about her. What a stunner. ---

Uma Thurman Liv Tyler Adrienne Shelley I think Catherine Zeta Jones looks like the Joker. ---

The lead actresses’s name is **Indira Varma**. My daughter **Isper** was looking on just now and cast her vote for Penélope Cruz and Lillian Gish. If I were a woman I would second the vote for _La_ Cruz and also Monica Bellucci. ---

Salma Hayek–every time I look at that woman my jaw just drops and I want to do dirty things to her. Can’t wait for “Once Upon A Time In Mexico” to get her and Antonio Banderas AND Johnny Depp in one movie, swoon! Portia DiRossi, grrr! Kim Novak, wow… Yeah, Indira Varma, definitely–and I didn’t mind the guy who played the love interest either, both so scenic. Monica Bellucci, check! Nicole Kidman, too skinny but what legs and her face is fascinating. Ack, must stop, mind going into spirals… 😉 ---

I have to agree with those that voted for Angelina Jolie, Alyson Hannigan, and Nicole Kidman… 🙂 ---

Catherine Zeta Jones Halle Berry Salma Hayek Elizabeth Taylor, even today she is stunning. I would choose Mia Tyler over her sister Liv. ---

Ava Gardner, Theda Bara, Marlene Dietrich, KD Lang, Liz Taylor, Hedy Lamarr, Grace Kelly, Rita Hayworth, Isabella Rossellini, Madonna, Beyonce, Cher, and as much as I hate to admit it, JLo I don’t really see what people find attractive about Halle Berry. To me, she’s just cute. ---

Guy posting here, hope you don’t mind. Kudos to those that listed Sinead O’Conner and Salma Hayek. But I must say that I’m disappointed no one has mentioned Bernadette Peters. Now there’s a woman who has the classic face and figure of the actresses of yesteryear. Plus she’s just got that _voice_. The Jennifer Anniston thing: I don’t think she’s much to look at myself, but a friend of mine says she’s epitomy of the Girl Next Door. And Girls Next Door are **hot**. ---

I am so bad at recalling the actress’s names, in some cases, but here are my votes: Liv Tyler Maryanne and Ginger, from Gilligan’s Island Marilyn Monroe Sophia Loren Jennifer Lopez, silent Salma Hayek Rita Hayworth Michelle Pfeiffer Nicole Kidman Princess Diana Cate Blanchett The hiccuping love interest from **The Majestic** ---

Only two women I can think of that I find/have found unbelieveably gorgeous are **Catherine Zeta-Jones** (particularly in _Chicago_) and the lead actress from _Monsoon Wedding_, **Vasundhara Das**. Yeah, I had to look her name up. ---

The only woman who virtually every time I see her I think, _Day-am_ she is hot, is Salma Hayek. ---

I would have to say Carly Simon-especially in the 70’s. She still looks great for her age. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Shana \* > \*\*The most ridiculously gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen was on an escalator at Bergdorf Goodman in NYC though. She had on a wide brimmed hat, the most incredible suit, and long black gloves. She honestly didn’t look real. My friend and I just stared with our jaws on the floor. She was quite something! \*\* Now that you mention it, that’s sort of how I picture **Eve**. ---

Another vote for Angelina Jolie and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Nicole Kidman, too. Natalie Portman Judy Garland, in her younger years(didn’t age well, that one) Mirando Otto(esp. as Eowyn) ---
