[Redstone]

1. Mrs R.

Redstone

[Bullwinkle925]

3. Ahhhhh,.....

how sweet - should earn you points this weekend (wink, wink)!!

[Redstone]

5. I can prove it. give me a couple of minutes, and I'll post

a picture of her. Then you can tell me if I'm exaggerating.

Redstone

[MiniMandaRuth]

2. Ms. Hepburn...

Class, style, funny, intelligent, and beautiful...

Another choice for me is Natalie Portman... She's great...

Edit: Because I'm stupid sometimes...

[Redstone]

9. If you meant Katharine Hepburn, she was never a "Mrs."

And not that pleasant of a person, actually.

Redstone

[MiniMandaRuth]

14. Audrey, actually...

This may seem a little stupid, but I really meant on screen. I thought that she was a very talented actress....

[Redstone]

15. Yes, she was. No argument from me on that.

Redstone

[xmas74]

53. Actually, she was married once.

It was for a very short time.

"A banner year for Hepburn, 1928 also marked her nuptials to socialite businessman Ludlow ("Luddy") Ogden Smith, whom she had met while attending Bryn Mawr and married after a short engagement. Hepburn and Smith's marriage was rocky from the start — she insisted he change his name to S. Ogden Ludlow so she would not be called Kate Smith.

They were divorced in Mexico in 1934, after having lived apart for some time. Fearing that the Mexican divorce was not legal, Ludlow got a second divorce in the United States in 1942, and a few days later he remarried."

4. Lauren Bacall...

Very hot in her prime!!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. Katherine Hepburn, for me......

Sexy, unafraid to be that way......

Yet very liberated as well...a true feminist......

Great cheekbones!

Gorgeous face, hair, eyes.....figure.....She had it ALL!

:woohoo:

And my God.....the lady could act!

[Reverend_Smitty]

11. As a heterosexual woman...

I agree with you 100% Peggy!

[Redstone]

13. Sorry to burst your bubble, CP, but she wasn't all that nice of a person.

I live in the town where she lived. Her rude behavior is kind of legendary around here. She was snotty and pushy and arrogant when whe came into town to shop at Walt's and other stores. Still, for some reason, people in town seem to think her behavior was "cute." Damn if I know why; to me, rude is rude no matter how famous you are.

Redstone

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. You didn't burst my bubble, my dear Redstone.......

I wasn't talking about what sort of human being she was, but what sort of actress!

I'm sorry to hear that she was so rude......There's no excuse for that...

Good to see you tonight!



:loveya: :hug:

[Redstone]

18. I was here, but now I'm gone. Tune in tomorrow for a tale of the

strange and unexpected (having to do with my dreams).

Redstone

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. I will look for them.....

Sweetest of dreams, my dear Redstone......

We are losing the east coasters to the inevitable turn of the planet...

:cry:

[Redstone]

24. Until tomorrow, m'dear.

Until then, have fun with the Westies.

I'm off to Dream Land, where many things can happen.

Redstone

[smirkymonkey]

42. I've never liked her - always had the feeling that she was very

arrogant and self-absorbed. Apparently it was true.

[Rowdyboy]

59. Has there ever been a stronger actress than Hepburn?

She ruled the stage whether she portrayed a silly socialite, a hard-nosed reporter, a dedicated missionary or a ruthless, scheming queen. She RULED the stage. My eyes were always on her when she appeared. A genuine icon of American cinema....

[solinvictus]

7. Clara Bow..

hands down.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

8. Of your limited choices I chose Sophia

But where are Salma Hayek or, more importantly, Scarlett Johansen?

[Nostradammit]

36. What he said!!!

Wow, you mentioned both of them!


Scarlett..........*sigh*

oh, Salma..................*whimper*



Start a new poll...

[Pryderi]

10. Raquel Welch

[Robeson]

12. She gets my vote, too.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

68. Yes, I think Angelina Jolie has her spot on the poll by mistake, LOL.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

17. Sophia Loren has such an amazing presence...

She could say more without speaking than any actress I can think of.

[Reverend_Smitty]

19. Did you see her at the Olympics?

She has to be in her mid 70's and still looks amazing...I want to know her secret

[GoddessOfGuinness]

26. She has to have had some surgery, don't you think?

Whoever worked on her did an exquisite job, but even she could not age that gracefully. Here's a pic from 2003.

[Reverend_Smitty]

27. I'm sure she's had some work done...

but she doesn't look plastic like many of the other aging starlets

[GoddessOfGuinness]

28. No she doesn't...

her neck appears to match her face. :)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

20. And she said the secret to her beauty was spaghetti

take that Lo-Carb fraks

[leftofthedial]

22. you left out Raquel Welch

pretty damned sexy.

[Blue-Jay]

23. Lena Horne.

What a beautiful, talented woman. (a hottie, too)

[Blue-Jay]

29. More Lena

[Blue-Jay]

31. Admit it. You love her.

[Jamastiene]

25. Deborah Harry...

IMHO, she is the sexiest woman to ever walk the face of this planet. At least of all the women I have seen so far, she is. I still get weak in the knees thinking about her.

[adriennui]

64. deborah is too pulled back

she was lovely when she was younger but she ruined herself by having too damn much plastic surgery.

[Awsi Dooger]

30. Ann-Margret

The '60s version

[tuvor]

32. I'd add Ava Gardner, Ann-Margret, Lauren Bacall, Gene Tierney...

Rita Hayworth, Jean Harlow, Sherilyn Fenn, Heather Graham, Mamie Van Doren, Bettie Page, Natalie Wood, Hedy Lamarr...and of course, Salma Hayek.

Tomorrow I'll probably think of another dozen or two.

[laheina]

34. Ava Gardner.

Definitely. (And Sherilyn Fenn too. :) )

[last_texas_dem]

58. I'll second Natalie Wood

She was just flat-out gorgeous. Maybe the only actress I could watch in anything just because of her beauty. It's nice that she happens to be a good actress as well.

(Lots of other beautiful women on this thread as well; I just figured I'd do the uncharacteristic thing (for me at least) and try to pick only one.)

[Benfea]

33. Dr. Mae Jameson.

The ones on your list are just department store mannequins.

[NNadir]

39. Nah. Marie Curie had her by a mile: You wanna see a pic of a sexy woman?

The babe in question is third from the left, first row.

She could certainly take on the men.

[Benfea]

48. Mae is (A) prettier and (B) not dead.

Otherwise, I'd have picked Dr. rear admiral Grace Hopper (sigh). Now there's a woman!

[NNadir]

49. I thought the only distinction was being in the twentieth century.

Dr. Curie, I think, had a much sexier mind.

It may interest you to know that Dr. Curie was implicated - unjustly probably - in a sex scandal in her time, involving Dr. Langevin. This was after the death of Pierre in an automobile accident, but Dr. Langevin was a married man. Some people actually tried to get Dr. Curie to decline her second Nobel Prize on the grounds that she was morally corrupt. I don't know if any of this makes her sexier, but it is hard to imagine anything being quite as sexy as the mind of Dr. Curie.

If we limit ourselves to looks, when you see pictures of Dr. Curie as a young woman, she was strikingly beautiful physically as well as mentally, not as sexy as when photographed with all those men, including Albert Einstein, at the Solvay conference, but cute nonetheless.



Of twentieth century babes go, Dr. Curie certainly has something on say, Britney Spears, Grace Kelly and Sophia Loren, although I must admit that I have never seen a picture of Dr. Curie in a low cut dress, nor have I seen a picture of her waving her navel.

Dr. Curie's daughter, Irene Curie-Joliet also something of a hot number, also won the Nobel Prize with her husband making the Curie family the only one with four Nobel laureates, five if you count Marie's two awards twice.

People sometimes refer to radioactivity as being "hot," but the Curie family was filled with hotties in many ways.

[NNadir]

71. Thank you for acqainting me with Grace Hopper.

I looked her up. You're right. She is a babe.

[Benfea]

72. Huzzah!

Computer languages as we know it today would not exist if not for her. She wrote the first assembler (before then, people literally programmed in ones and zeros), and laid the groundwork for the first third generation languages (her white papers led directly to COBOL, but we won't hold that against her). She is also responsible for coining the term "bug" in reference to computer glitches (in her case, it was an actual moth that died on a circuit board and its decomposing body screwed up the circuits).

Plus, she was the only female rear admiral (equivalent to a 5-star general), and she had not one but two PhDs.

Huzzah!

Mae Jameson is still prettier, though. *swoon*

[Vektor]

35. Bardot from the list - but Gemma Ward or Kate Hudson overall...

I'm a straight woman, but if I could look like anyone, it would be her:



Or her:

[Guava Jelly]

37. Catherine Zeta Jones

my future wife

[In_The_Wind]

38. Hey! You forgot a really good one.

[tjwmason]

40. Audrey Hepburn - by a million miles.

There really is no contest, it's as fundamental as the law of gravity that Audrey Hepburn is the most gorgeous woman ever.

[GirlinContempt]

57. Totally agree

:)

[Kire]

66. Agreed

[bridgit]

41. Sophia Loren

[Blue_Tires]

52. Helen Mirren

[NashVegas]

54. Sophia

Radiates beauty, intelligence, femininity and big sex like no one ever has.

[samplegirl]

56. No doubt

[Rowdyboy]

60. You're all wrong! No one has mentioned the real beauty of the century...

Elizabeth Taylor.....

Though Elizabeth Montgomery could melt my heart with a smile....



And don't even get me started on Audrey Hepburn...

[SKKY]

61. Salma Hayek, to me, is absolutely stunning. Crazy beautiful.

Hands down the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.

[madokie]

62. All of the above

[adriennui]
