The recent thread on the most beautiful actress, past or present, was interesting (although I was surprised that noone mentioned Lena Horne, the Charlie Angels-era Farah Fawcett, or the Dick Van Dyke-era Mary Tyler Moore), but it suggested another question. An actress can be quite beautiful without being especially sexy; conversely, an actress can be quite sexy without being exceptionally beautiful. What actresses, past or present, would you put in the latter category, sexy but not beautiful? I can start off the list with three of my nominees: Eartha Kitt, Ann Margaret, and Miss Piggy.
Juliet Lewis. In a bend her over the hood of my Trans Am and do her up the butt kind of way.
Kirstin Dundst, too. In an up against the wall, hike up her dress, and do her in the butt kind of way.
Olivia D’Abo. In a chase her into the kitchen, lift her up onto the countertop and do her in the butt kind of way.
I remember having a conversation like this before with mates, Jennifer Garner fell right into this category for me 
I’m sensing a trend here…
I’m pretty sure they all have purty mouths.
Ned Beatty had the hardest part…
My Og, where do I begin? Sexy-but-not-beautiful is one of my favorite types. Lili Taylor, Ileana Douglas, Jessi Klein, Mary Gross from SNL in the '80s, Lisa Ruddy from You Can’t Do That on Television, Jane Kaczmarek, Harriet Sansom-Harris, Allison Janney…Allison Janney…did I mention Allison Janney???
NOT BEAUTIFUL?!?! In what friggin universe!?!? The “Eye of the Beholder” one?
Olivia D’Abo is just fucking gorgeous. And sexy.
My candidate for the OP would be Rebecca Pidgeon.
I’ll put it out there…
Sandra Bernhart(sp?)
Ellen Barkin
Angelina Jolie. Sorry, but the last time I saw a mouth like that, it had a hook in it. But there’s no denying the hotness.
I have to say Jessi Klein, Kirsten Dunst, Ellen Barkin, and Angelina Jolie are all beautiful as well as sexy.
My vote? Lisa Rinna from Veronica Mars, and I’ll second Juliette Lewis.
I’m guessing the hillbillies had harder parts.
Somehow I can’t avoid thinking of that commercial: “Parts is parts…”
Fairuza Balk comes to mind.
Gina Gershon (I’m sure some people think she’s beautiful, but I don’t)
Tina Turner
Catherine Keener
Laura Dern
Bette Midler. She carries a little extra weight (not too much) and she’s not the most beautiful thing in the world. I don’t even really find her pretty.
Something about her just rings my bell. Yea, I’d give her the old NoClueBoy lovin’.
Jessica Lange - Likely winning beauty contest when younger but has aged as I wish I could. Hubby thinks she’s one of the most beautiful in the world and I have to agree.
He favors LEAH REMINI from King of Queens also.
Rachel Griffiths is scorching hot, but kind of funny looking.
Now I find her beautiful AND sexy, but she loses points for:
A. Being on a show I hate, and
B. Being a nutty Scientologist.
