Michele Carey in El Dorado.
Beautiful cowgirl with a rifle and crazy hair. She’s the only person in that film to successfully shoot John Wayne, out of many who try.
I agree. She has aged REALLY well, and it pains me that she will only continue to age without being seen as often as she should be.
Thanks to all who have posted - an enjoyable thread.
Is it worth making a distinction between two types of wonderful?
Those who give you a boner (e.g. Salma Hayek, Monica Belluci )
and those who utterly charm you (e.g. Kayleigh ).
Ah yes! I was coming here to post that!
I had quite the crush on her in my younger days - The Karate Kid is where I discovered her and it’s been lustful bliss ever since.
She’s currently on CSI and is aging wonderfully, BTW.
Oh, and for specific roles where I found an actress hot: I’ve seen Mira Furlan in a number of things, including nude shots, and, well, she’s nice and all, but in none of her other roles is she anywhere near as hot as she is as Ambassador Delenn. Preferably post-Chrysalis, of course, but even pre, she was still very good-looking.
Antonio Banderas - El Mariachi in Desperado, Nestor in The Mambo Kings, in anything.
Roy Dupuis - Michael in La Femme Nikita, Yves in Being at Home with Claude
k.d. lang - Constant Craving video… I think it’s her androgyny that does it for me.
Caterina Murino as Tania Moretti in “Zen” (shortlived series about an Italian detective)
A recent one - Carey Mulligan in The Great Gatsby. She’s always been cute, but she is astonishingly sexy here.
I was impressed by DiCaprio in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?, but his subsequent career struck me as unremarkable—through his big successes in Romeo and Juliet and Titanic. But a few weeks ago, when we saw Gatsby I was instantly struck as soon as DiCaprio appeared on screen. I turned to my wife and said—“When did Leonardo DiCaprio become so handsome?” I am a straight man and I think I have a crush on him now.
Tim Curry as Dr. Frankenfurter
Running mascara, ripped fishnets and a pearl necklace ~sigh~
She is !!! but what got me was the edge they put on her King Arthur, she wreaks of both warrior and temptress…an uncompromising beautifully honed edge.
When Donna Reed says “Welcome home Mr. Bailey” in “It’s a Wonderful Life”.
No-one mentions Halle Berry in Race the Sun? I bought a copy of that movie because of her. [sub]And the fact that much of it takes place in Australia.[/sub]
Holy Hannah.
For me it starts and ends with Eve Myles as Gwen Cooper from Torchwood. I fell hard for her, in all her gap-toothed Welsh glory.
Runner-up: Eve Myles as Merill in Dragon Age 2, in her stammering, flakey glory.
Just give me Eve Myles…on a plate.
Melanie Griffith in Cherry 2000 taught me how much i really liked red heads Melanie Griffith Pictures - Rotten Tomatoes
A very close second place would be Michelle Rodriguez as the pilot in Avatar http://obamapacman.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Michelle-Rodriguez-468x705.jpg
Rosario Dawson in general.
And, most recently, Rosario Dawson in Trance.
Oh, yeah, she was blazing hot. Whenever she was featured in an episode I got really… excited.
From the same show and not as curvy as Aphrodite but still stunningly beautiful was Hudson Leick as the villainess Callisto.
And, of course, Lucy Lawless as Xena herself induced many a trouser tent back in the day.
Basically, I got blue balls watching that show. :(
Not playing a character but she look pretty great here also.
Wait, nobody’s mentioned Gabrielle from Xena: Warrior Princess yet? She’s mesmerising!
