Maureen O’Hara was the loveliest imo. ---

So, lately I’ve been seeing a clickbait ad, something along the lines of “We bet you can’t identify these movies just from a picture of the main character!” Well, I’m no film buff, but even I recognize [Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly](https://media.npr.org/assets/artslife/arts/2010/07/hepburn_wide-ad3a95a756ec0f9411e6a555e76d1b743966724f-s800-c85.jpg), from _Breakfast at Tiffany’s_. ---

I love Audrey Hepburn too. I caught a little of _Funny Face_ not too long ago - her [Bohemian Dance](https://youtu.be/7FznWwWrOIQ?t=187) scene just does something to me. ---

Try as I might, I could not see her as a MILF. She was still incredibly hot in 1946, at least as much as Virginia Mayo in the same flick. ---

I adore many of the actresses named above, but this photo of Jean Peters really does it for me. She was gorgeous in _ **Captain from Castile** _ (1947). [![](https://iv1.lisimg.com/image/1218294/472full-jean-peters.jpg) ](https://iv1.lisimg.com/image/1218294/472full-jean-peters.jpg) Those eyes, that nose, those full lips, that little pout. The shape of her face is perfect, and her eyebrows are just right. She’s the kind of girl I always fall head over heels in love with. :o ---

Now hold on, hold on, don’t jump to conclusions. But I’m saying Shirley Temple. As a young woman. [https://cdn.historydaily.org/content/63122/33314b0b47bc59b3900fc09343dbd48b.jpg](https://cdn.historydaily.org/content/63122/33314b0b47bc59b3900fc09343dbd48b.jpg) ---

Speaking of Virginia Mayo: [https://www.cineforever.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Virginia-Mayo-1.jpg](https://www.cineforever.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Virginia-Mayo-1.jpg) Hubba-hubba! :o I think Joi Lansing falls under the 1960 limit. I remember being incredibly turned on seeing her as Mrs Superman opposite George Reeves: [https://lastfm-img2.akamaized.net/i/u/770x0/aa7a3c36959641b48212cb068d32505b.jpg](https://lastfm-img2.akamaized.net/i/u/770x0/aa7a3c36959641b48212cb068d32505b.jpg) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ingrid-bergman-was-the-loveliest-actress-of-old-hollywood/837322.md?page=3)
