Josey Wales

It's not just her looks.....

Betcha Clint double-bagged* her while he was "taming her strange"!!

(*In case one bag fell off)

Clint Eastwood spent a LOT of time and effort just promoting her in his movies and she just wasn't leading lady material. That was his choice, but I don't have to like it.

Great thread guys. If I had to choose I'd have to give the nod to Josey by the thinnest of margins.

The Ten Bears scene would have to be one of the reasons. Quotable lines like "Well, are you gonna' pull them pistols - or whistle Dixie" and some of the others quoted here would have to be some of the main reasons. On the other hand "If he's gonna' decorate his store with my friend, then he ought ta' have armed himself" is just as memorable. Must have something to do with the guy delivering the lines.

Like Alpo, I don't think Sandra is either the ugliest or worst actress in Hollyweird. She certainly isn't near the top of the list on either count, but not the total bottom of the barrel either. Though I agree, Clyde's performance was much more memorable.

Personally I despise her for the way she behaved when she and Clint had their falling out. If he hadn't given her major roles in so many of his movies she would have never had a career at all. Seriously, how many non-Eastwood pictures can you think of that had her as a member of the cast - much less a starring role?

When they split up she should have just quietly settled with him and then went away. Instead she showed what an ungrateful, gold-digging witch she really is.

When he finally came to his senses and showed her the gate she filed a lawsuit claiming, among other things, that he ruined her career. Hello! She must have been delusional if she thought she'd ever do anything other than porn if not for his efforts in her behalf.

it's like God looked down one day, pointed his finger at her and said, "today, I gonna mess somebody up." And he did too. She is not only devoid of any discernible talent but she has the personality of a pig, and the general appeal of 5 miles of muddy road. Not one redeeming feature.

But I mean all this in the kindest possible way......NOT! I never understood why a guy like Clint ever gave her the time of day. He could have had any woman he wanted.

I like both movies but I have to give the nod to Josie Wales.
A few memorable lines:

To hell with them fellas....a buzzard's gotta eat, same as a worm. (spit)

You gonna pull them pistols, or whistle dixie?

Porn?!! The thought of her naked just made me throw up a little.

Bounty hunter #1: You're wanted, Wales.
Josey Wales: Reckon I'm right popular. You a bounty hunter?
Bounty hunter #1: A man's got to do something for a living these days.
Josey Wales: Dyin' ain't much of a living, boy.

Sondra Locke gave decent performances in The Gauntlet and as the rape victim in one of the Dirty Harry movies. Especially the latter.

Sudden Impact is the one you are thinking of.

The Gauntlet was about her peak in my opinion.
