Ahem. As a Modern. Non-Sexist Male and Father of Daughters I might find this thread offensive. OTOH, Laura Petrie? My daughters, 2/3 of them gay, would agree. I raised 'em and they are the sexist swine their Dad is. ---

There are many good answers here I must comment on after I feed my kid, but even though I am a very strong supporter of the brunette, I have to nominate this beautiful creature: > **[Whitney Blake](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0086756/mediaviewer/rm1619278592)** > > Whitney Blake ---

Not my type. > > Her co-star, Julie Bowen, is much more to my taste. Could not agree with this statement more. Here is the thing though: I SHOULD find SV much more attractive, she is very much in my wheelhouse. But Julie Bowen (who I did not find all that attractive in her youth – Happy Gilmore) has a thing that makes me want to find a whole army to defeat just to prove I am worthy of her. Even though she is a bit past prime now, and some of her photos show it, to me she always looks like the smart lawyer on the “Denny Crane” show. That is a face I would love to see across a candle-lit table every date night for all time, and face I would love to see right before I fell asleep as I gently held her – and wake to every morning. By contrast Sofia Vergara seems like she is just trying too hard; too overt or something. And her face seems like the result of a team of make-up artists. ---

Some years ago there was a Doper who had lost weight and, early on, I told her how she resembled Julie Bowen, who wasn’t famous. I’m a tool and hope she knows that I’m available. Alas, her husband was hotter than I. ☹ ---
