We would all still do her! Come on! Don’t even deny it!

Women of all sizes, shapes, ages, races and hair-types had to have a shag. She was _that_ influential. It does not surprise me that a girl would have the poster.

I’m with you. It seems [Jan Smithers](http://www.clothmonkey.com/smithers.htm) (be sure to read pp. 2 and 3) hasn’t worked as an actor since 1987 and is living the quiet life in Nova Scotia, partly because she is quite shy.

Although I would never invade her space or request that someone do so, a recent picture of her would be quite a treat.

Dollars to donuts she is still a knockout at 56.

Jaclyn Smith has to have had plastic surgery or something. She’s 58 years old, and she looks like she’s 30. In fact, she looks younger in those latest photos than she did 25 years ago. But damn, if she’s had plastic surgery, it’s the best I’ve ever seen.

Well, as a guy who hit puberty in the 70’s, it just didn’t get any better. So don’t care if she has hit a rough patch, she still is (was) hotter than Garbo, Monroe, Derek, Jameson, et al.

Yep 🙂 Unfortunately I wasn’t one of the crowd because I look horrible with very long hair.

If there was any way I could show everyone my high school yearbook, the evidence is there.

Loni Anderson may or may not look good today, but I can’t judge from that photo. In it, except for her hands and hairstyle she looks just as she did on WKRP.

(Which I never thought was all that hot. She always had a made-up, brassy quality that didn’t appeal to me. But she hardly looks like a “wrinkled old hag” in the photo **Lute’** links to.)

Farrah Fawcett, Ryan O’Neal, Tatum O’Neal, John McEnroe and Leigh Taylor Young all in one gene pool; could this be any more obviously a selective breeding program specifically designed to bring about the anti-Christ?

I haven’t seen _Chasing Farrah_, but there’s a guy on the commercials that I’m almost positive is Ryan O’Neal. While I know they have a son together, didn’t they have a particularly nasty break-up? She left him for more abusive pastures years ago and it’s odd that she would give him airtime.

Sampiro, O’Neal and Fawcett have reconciled. In fact, she broadly hinted during the Letterman interview that her reality series included nuptials between them.

You’re all wrong. Cheryl Ladd was the hottest angel on television. Hands down.

Cameron Diaz of course being the hottest angel ever.

Say, I wonder if the topic of Bailey’s hotness has ever come up before on the SDMB. Has it? Yeah, yeah. I know.

Darn right.

Not even close.

[Here’s](http://www.awfulplasticsurgery.com/archives/002336.html) a look a Farrah’s facial transformation over the years. (Warning! Link not for the squeamish!) There’s some speculation that the reason she’s had so much work done on her nose is because of the damage done to it by snorting coke.

IMHO, a woman who ages gracefully is much better than a woman who has all kinds of plastic surgery to try and remain youthful looking.

I swear I read that as _as a guy who hit puberty in his 70’s_ :eek:  
But I guess you’d be a popular guy at the retirement home. 😉

Jaclyn Smith was the most beautiful, but I had a thing for Kate Jackson.

I still do, in fact. Right here. Wanna see?

It is, and don’t call me “Shirley”. BTW, there are [worse things](http://www.awfulplasticsurgery.com/archives/000351.html) on that site.
