The most beautiful of all, the queen of your dreams

[glenwolde]

Every time my wife asked me what I was thinking about, I'd say "Loni Anderson". She stopped asking.

Donna Douglas

 

[timjake]

Most of the ones I think of have already been listed.

The one I don't see is anyone else's list is Hedy Lamarr.

 

[ACORN]

Dawn Wells had to be up there.
I know many guys sure didn't watch to see Gilligan.

 

[fiasconva]

Inger Stevens was a real beauty but I'm surprised Barbara Eden ( I Dream of Jeanie) hasn't been mentioned.

Truth, and I much preferred Bailey to Jennifer on WKRP.

Hedley Lamarr.

 

[ACORN]

Truth, and I much preferred Bailey to Jennifer on WKRP.

Bailey seemed attainable. Nice.
Jennifer seemed like punching above my weight class. High maintenance.

 

[ACORN]

A beauty from the "Golden Age"
Greer Garson

 

[Golddollar]

Way too many to list. I'm old but I ain't dead!

 

[Protocall_Design]

There may be snow on the roof, but there's still smoke in the chimney...

 

[lihpster]

Gonna go slightly more modern with my choices. Salma Hayek and Charlize Theron.

All the above mentioned ladies are indeed beautiful; however, having yellow fever, I have to add Lucy Liu.

Among the old guard female stars of the 40s-50s it would be difficult to beat Lana Turner. One of my favorite movies is "The Bad and the Beautiful." In it, she was both. Later, her young daughter killed Lana's mobster lover. Quite a scandal at the time. It also sort of killed her acting career.

Ah, Miss Spread Spectrum. Clever lady.

So what is it about a good looking woman with black gloves and choker?

 

[madmikeb]

For me you can add Halle Berry and Margot Robbie to the list!

She and a collaborator came up with a method of radio signaling and control involving constantly shifting radio frequencies to foil jamming. She had been married to an Austrian munitions manufacturer and was apparently knowledgeable about weapons.

 

[Yaworski]

Bailey seemed attainable.

Jan Smithers was the ideal girl next door.

 

[Yaworski]

I find it telling that most guys seem to prefer the "plain" Mary Ann and Bailey over the "gorgeous" Ginger and Jennifer.

 

[Tam 3]

Add Veronica Hamel, and Sherry Jackson.

I find it telling that most guys seem to prefer the "plain" Mary Ann and Bailey over the "gorgeous" Ginger and Jennifer.

So, what does it tell?

"Plain" and "gorgeous" have different meanings to different people. But there is more to it. You also have to add "friendly" and "stuck-up" to the discussion.

 

[dave1918a2]

The one I went to the $.14 movies to see was Dorothy Malone. I was 15. Still (at 78) enjoy looking at Her.

Queen Elizabeth

Hard to argue with any of the above, but for me, young Elizabeth Taylor was the most beautiful actress of modern time.

 

[Rustyt1953]

 

[Yaworski]

So, what does it tell?

It tells much.

 

[Onomea]

Well, some of us are ambidextrous...

From the starlets of the Golden Age of Hollywood, I still find Joan Bennet one of the most stunning. But as fiasconva mentioned, the sight of Barbara Eden running around in her harem costume and saying "yes master" all the time sure did it to me when I was a 12 year old boy. And we didn't even have a color TV.
Here is Ms. Bennett.

 

[StrawHat]

There is a meme of Jeannie and Master sitting on the couch. The caption is, That's an odd request Master?!

[bigmtnman]

It's really hard to chose, but Natalie Wood seems to pop up most often in my immediate surroundings ...........

 

[handejector]

I did not look through this whole thread, but I rarely see her included in one of these-
Lee Remick
At around 12 or 13, I was sure I was in love. Those eyes.....

She did not photograph well for stills, I think because she was probably very self conscious. That's my take, anyway. She could definitely hold up her role in a movie. Dead too soon in her mid 50s.
