May Zeus forgive you, but you left out the most entrancingly attractive woman ever to stand in front of a camera: Jacqueline Bisset.
Yhe TV special AFI’s 100 YEARS…100 SONGS, put #84 as Hayworth singing Put the Blame on Mame from the movie Gilda. Rita Moreno commented on the performance, saying Hayworth was charged with hot female sexuality, or something.
I remember thinking, “Hey, that’s Rita Hayworth! She could be up there singing the Alphabet Song and it would be charged with hot female sexuality.”

And she’s definitely a brunette, judging from the song at least:
Wynona’s got herself a big brown beaver
and she shows it off to all her friends.
Damn. I swear I had her on my list (“Too waifish?”) but somehow she dropped out when I was editing it into bullet points. :mad:
Winona, if you’re reading this, I think you could use a good va-va-va-voom role at this stage in your career. You’ve still got the figure for it. And as for that shoplifting episode–well, that just proves you want to be a bad girl.
She’s got a lot of stuff coming up this next year. A Scanner Darkly, for one, which is definitely not a va-va-voom sort of role. Also The Darwin Awards, and Oskur Fisherman. The second two are only in pre-production, so may or may not happen. Mary Warner, which is just announced and not even in pre-production sounds like it might be your best bet.
On that note, what has been a good recent role that would have that “va-va-va-voom” quality to it?
The obvious choice would have to be “Caprice Stickles” in A Dirty Shame, but I can’t see how that role could have helped Winona’s career… 
Not Hollywood, but I’m saying it anyway…Claudia Black–Farscape
Hey. How about Rita Moreno?
Are we going solely for vixen types, or simply beautiful brunette women? If the latter…

I hate to burst any bubbles, but Rita was dubbed in the “Mame” number. There’s some dispute as to whether she sang it herself later in the film when she’s seen strumming a guitar.
Yes, I know and I’m suitably crushed (and it wasn’t even by Marni Nixon, too!) but Rita’s damn hot nonetheless.
