For me these days it’s Meaghan Benfeito, from the Canadian women’s diving team. Youtube: [Kazan2015 Meaghan Benfeito (10m semi) - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyEYPAQIits) I find her very attractive and she is obviously bloody strong as well (see the link at 1:15) ---

Loo Brealey. Not that she is in any way unattractive to anyone with a functioning libido (and into women). But she’s a bit nerdy and ordinary for the “sexy scale” usually employed by the media. Same with Lindy Booth and Felicia Day. The cute girl-next-door type who will never raise above that level in Hollywood. ---

Molly Parker in _Suspicious River_ and _The Centre of the World_ Hana Schygulla Jane Alexander in _All The President’s Men_ Sandra Bernhard in _King of Comedy_ Posey Parker Susan Anspatch, especially in _Five Easy Pieces_ - a study in the ultimate of sensuality; almost absolute perfection, she is, here. Kristen Schaal Laura Dern and for some dang reason the outlandishly annoying wide-eyed incredulity of Julie Hagerty in _Airplane_ so incomprehensibly aroused me pretty well to the point of suffering from constant high-flying disco dreams. Kristen Johnston in _Third Rock From the Sun_ There could be about 118 more. ---

How anyone wouldn’t think Kate Jackson was supersexy during the _Charlie’s Angels_ days is beyond me. And I’d never seen her before _Sleeping With Other People_, but Alison Brie is pretty hot, too. Catherine Keener and Felicia Day for sure…I’ve always had a thing for Irish lasses, especially redheads. ---

I think Emily Watson was pretty cute in “Angela’s Ashes”, though objectively she is not a beauty and there is something slightly creepy and endearing about her face. ---
