Don't worry that's more than fine for your age. Even for an old fart like me who knows about their work, I have to admit that while the criteria in the 'Classic Film Actors' poll was more like 'actors with charisma and good acting', for the Actresses poll it was more like 'most beautiful and attractive actresses'  (the term 'hot' is not always easy to apply to that generation of women, many would say that Marilyn Monroe was the hottest in that time but personally I do not find her particularly attractive).Very good taste with Raquel in any case

Yep I am guilty as well, my vote is entirely focused on rrrraaauw.
Sophia Loren it is! I may have voted for the fabulous Gina Lollobrigida, if she had been up for grabs. BTW as long as we are talking classic movie actresses, then I think there is one 'current' contender that reflects some of the same class and beauty as the gals of the ol days. Monica Belucci.

My oh my....
The thing about Sophia is that she continued to look tantalizingly beautiful way into her 60s - I haven't seen images of her lately though, but I bet she looks striking for an elderly lady. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Surprised that this thread was brought back from oblivion  Many great suggestions which I missed to include in the original poll, and within the poll options Audrey seems to still lead the way (as lovely as she was, she has suffered from commercial overexposure IMO). BTW if anyone is interested there was a parallel poll about male classic actors.

I guess it just turns out to be based on how these beautiful women affect the male testosterone levels............ I will watch an old movie if it features the gorgeous Audrey Hepburn. My true obsessive infatuation will always go to Barbara Eden. I received a box-set of I Dream Of Jeannie DVD's - a 20-disc extravaganza which never fails to bring joy to my life. Even character Major Anthony Nelson makes the whole thing work. I was fortunate to come across a signed photo of Barb, in her Jeannie outfit, at an outlet in 'Epcot' at Disneyworld, a few years back........ |
