[The best television scene of all time](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3642/3658450929_692254a80e.jpg?v=0) James Purefoy as Marc Anthony. I loved, loved, loved HBO’s \*Rome \*but I re-watch it to lust over him. He’s not so great in future roles (although he was also damn fine in _Vanity Fair_.) ---

They’ve been married quite a while now. Same thing happened when Michael Douglas saw Catherine Zeta Jones in Zorro. ---

**Ralph Fiennes** in _The English Patient._ Unbelievably sexy. I only watch the bits with him in the desert - the rest of the movie I really couldn’t give a fig about. **Gary Oldman** in The _Professional._ So twisted, yet so fine. ---

Yeah, Princess Leia, though I didn’t see that scene in a theater. I first saw _Empire_. But yeah. But my first TV girlfriend was Jaclyn Smith in _Charlie’s Angels_. Yeah, I was 6, what’s your point? I know Farrah was the one everyone raved over, but Jaclyn (Kelly) was the one I drooled over. That face, that voice, that body. Okay, the third maybe didn’t kick in quite that early. ---

Attractive to be sure, but not as over the top fuhgeddaboutit as in that film. I’ll take CZJ, but in _Entrapment._ Movie was only OK, but I could watch it all day long and be just fine. ---

I can’t believe that I forgot Catherine Bach as Daisy Duke! Also, Heather Thomas as Jody Banks on “The Fall Guy”. Diana Rigg as Emma Peel on “The Avengers”. Lynda Day George as Lisa Casey on “Mission: Impossible”. Teresa Graves as Christie Love, “Get Christie Love” (1974-1975). Jennifer O’Dell as “Veronica of the Plateau” on “The Lost World” (syndicated series, 1999-2002). ---

Here is another one that I cannot believe that I forgot : Phyllis Coates as Jean Evans, the Panther Girl in the TV-movie “The Claw Monsters” (1966) : [![](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sTtgq8UXWXQ/UKltVLjA2sI/AAAAAAAAHm8/LzEHQdpbtfQ/s1600/panther_girl_of_the_kongo_3.jpg) ](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sTtgq8UXWXQ/UKltVLjA2sI/AAAAAAAAHm8/LzEHQdpbtfQ/s1600/panther_girl_of_the_kongo_3.jpg) [![](http://www.polarblairsden.com/moviespanthergirl0203.jpg) ](http://www.polarblairsden.com/moviespanthergirl0203.jpg) [![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-HZN9kK2Y4Ls/SNuQhXOFqdI/AAAAAAAAAZM/oTAZ3Z7EC5Y/Phyllis_Coates_as_Panther_Girl_KO_pic_3.jpg) ](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-HZN9kK2Y4Ls/SNuQhXOFqdI/AAAAAAAAAZM/oTAZ3Z7EC5Y/Phyllis_Coates_as_Panther_Girl_KO_pic_3.jpg) It was actually the 1955 serial “Panther Girl of the Kongo” edited down to a ninety-minute TV-movie length. I saw it in 1971, when I was on the cusp of puberty. I already had a “knocked-out superheroine” fetish, but seeing Phyllis in that abbreviated outfit getting KOed repeatedly really “solidified” my sleepy fetish, among other things. I haven’t been the same since! ---
