Okay, this was touched on in and old “Ginger or Mary Ann” thread, but I just have to know what you think. Jennifer Marlowe or Bailey Quarters? ---

Bailey. By a mile. Whatever happened to that actress? ---

Bailey Quarters was played by Jan Smithers and without a doubt, she is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. The last picture I saw of her is from 1999 and at 50 years old, she is still a knockout. I saw Loni Anderson on an episode of Sisters tonight and she is still as scary looking as she ever was. Jan Smithers now lives in Nova Scotia, Canada. You can go to [http://www.clothmonkey.com/smithers.htm](http://www.clothmonkey.com/smithers.htm) to see and learn more of Jan Smithers. I would also pick Mary-Anne over Ginger every time. ---

Bailey - very most definitely. ---

Bailey, without a doubt. ---

If I can’t have them both, then Bailey. ---

I liked Baily too, but she kinda looked like a druggy. Thats OK though. I woulda still nailed her, but I was only about 9-10 back then. ---

Mary Ann may have been a farm girl, but she was a “bad” farm girl. (Look how tight those damn gingham dresses are on her.) Six months in LA, and she’d be Ginger. Bailey, however, could never be Jennifer. Only trust those who answer “Bailey” to the above question. I’m glad to know you guys are all trustworthy 🙂 ---

Bailey, by a mile. Man, what a woman. Herb: “Hi Bailey. How’s the sex life?” Bailey (a thousand miles away): “Wonderful…” Herb: ZOING!!! ---

I think we did this before… [Groucho] And I’d like to do it again! [/Groucho] Bailey, of course. I just know Jennifer would be faking it. ---

Jennifer would be faking it because she _is_ fake. Bang her hard enough and her face will crack, her hair will break, and one or both breasts will pop like a caulk gun oozing silicone. Bailey, any day. ---

Of course she was a “bad” farm girl, they all are! They’ve seen the reproductive process and don’t go “eww!” at the messier parts of the mating ritual. Why do you think we liked Mary Ann in the first place? [Andy Griffith]Gee Whiz![/AG] She’s certainly preferable to a plastic bimbo like Ginger. As for the Bailey/Jennifer I gotta go with Bailey. A girl-next-door with huge 70’s glasses is still a girl next door. ---

ok I just gotta say Jennifer… Just so she doesn’t feel unwanted… And don’t tell me none of you guys wanted to explore Jennifer’s big thumb-sized nipples! I’d be all like :o (although Bailey looked like she could be a dirty girl!) 🙂 ---

Bailey. I was enamored of her then, and to this day, I still keep a few brain cells on alert for encountering her real-life counterpart. ---

I would have to say that there was a time, long ago, when I would have said Jennifer. But I am over that…Bailey. ---

From [WKRP in Cincinnati](http://www.whowouldyoukill.com/wkrp.html) an old TV show. Jennifer was the bombshell blonde, Bailey was the mouse brown quiet one. Real men prefer brunettes 😃 ---

Bailey. Ok, here’s one for ya - Janet, Chrissy, Cindy, Terri, or Mrs. Roper? Probably Chrissy or Terri. Another - Laverne or Shirley? Shirley. And Lastly - Rachel, Monica, or Phoebe? Ummm, let’s try Rachel. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/jennifer-or-bailey/77493.md?page=2)
