Just to test the water with the input we’ve gotten at …
Pre-Poll Data Collecting – FEMALE Westerns Stars
… let’s see what your TOP TEN from this group would look like:
Honor System Anonymous Poll.
Mention any others not on the list, either here or in that other thread.
Late to the gate. I was just going to post in that other thread. Two that weren’t mentioned:
Joan Blondell appeared in both television and movie Westerns.
TV
Bonanza
Here Come the Brides
The Guns of Will Sonnett
Wagon Train
The Virginian
Death Valley Days
Kinda Western-ish
McCloud
The Real McCoys
Movies
Support Your Local Gunfighter
Waterhole #3
Winchester 73 (TV movie)
Ride Beyond Vengeance
For Heaven’s Sake
Doris Day was in
Calamity Jane
The Ballad of Josie
Thanks! I’m adding these to the list that’s now up to 64 names.
Once we have a feel for how many of them are likely to be Winners we can get down to some serious discussion(s) on how to merge the women with the men
as evidenced in
Your Top 5 All-Time Westerns Stars
and the spinoff threads from it – details at this post.
Allison Brie in Community’s Western themed episode. I’m not a huge fan of Westerns but that half hour made me want to see her in a non comedy full length movie in the Genre.
I think this is a pretty major error: Hailee Steinfeld, who at age 14 was nominated for an Academy Award for her work in True Grit. She was freakin’ awesome.
It’s only 24 seconds of pretty mundane shooting, but Annie Oakley was the archetype of “The Cowgirl in Pop Culture” and got my vote.
You forgot Ann Margret from the lame 1966 version of Stagecoach. You can’t have a list of favorite actresses without Ann Margret on it.
This won’t mean a great deal until some more votes come in, and at least one more set of votes came in since I took the snapshot.
But here is how things look at this moment.
Note the new names at the bottom, please!
Thanks for the votes!

Nice catch on the roles they shared. Do you have a preference? If asked, I would say Robin’s portrayal was more “gritty.”
