I can’t believe no one has nominated Elizabeth Taylor; especially during the Cat On a Hot Tin Roof and Butterfield 8 era. Sweet jesus.
Talullah Bankhead, for sure. Bettie Page, absolutely. Greta Garbo, because sometimes nothing is as sexy as a fragile woman (a la Camille). Theda Bara, just because.
Um, Elizabeth Taylor isn’t dead.
I should have added Merle Oberon. And Maureen O’Sullivan. And Fay Wray.
Like the poster who cited Kate Hepburn…close enough.
No one can come close to Ava Gardner.
The Platonic ideal of Dead Sexy. Yow.
Holy cow, am I really the first to mention Louise Brooks?
Runners-up would also be the criminally unmentioned Joan Blondell, and Vera-Ellen.
Bettie Page is still alive and presumably well, but she’d be first on my list if not.
Oh, and for dessert after nailing Natalie Wood three times I do Paulette Goddard. Mmmmm.
Did I forget to mention Loretta Young and Claudette Colbert?
Romy Schneider, when she was thirtieish.
Marilyn Monroe
Close to Ava Gardner? All over her, more likely.
Another vote for Audrey Hepburn
And Grace Kelly
And Inger Stevens
Another vote for Sharon Tate.
You are, but only because the Mac downstairs crashed last night when I tried to post my nominations of Lulu and Veronica Lake, and I said the heck with it and went to bed.
I’m not sure why I have this thing for Veronica Lake – she’s not my usual type (of which Louise Brooks is the ideal).
Anybody take Natalie Wood yet?
She was the most beautiful woman ever to grace the silver screen.
Lord, looks like I nominated a bunch of women who are still living. Sorry!
John Lennon, cuz I bet he was interested in HER pleasure!
James Dean looks good enough to eat!
Sir Laurence Olivia (sp?), circa “Wuthering Heights” {SIGH! - spank me, you naughty, naughty boy!}
Okay, I’m going to go pleasure myself now…
Patty
P.S. I was kidding about that last part.
Got to throw my vote in for River Phoenix
What - the name’s NOT Patty?
