  3. From top-down:

    Faye Dunaway (looks like a Bonnie and Clyde shot)
    Audrey Hepburn (lotso movies)
    Ingrid Bergman (lotso movies, but especially Casablanca)
    Ava Gardner (definitely one of the biggest sex icons of the '40s and '50s, along with Rita Hayworth, who I didn't post)
    Elizabeth Taylor (ye of 7 marriages)
    Marilyn Monroe (ORLY?)
    Vivien Leigh (underrated--star of Gone with the Wind)
    Grace Kelly (perfect, later princess of Monaco)
    Lauren Bacall (film noir supreme--goes toe to toe with Bogart in The Big Sleep and some others)

  4. You are REALLY striving to win over the girls on this blog, aren't you?

  5. What the hell else is a point of a blog if not that?

  6. You should have added Sophia Loren, Brigitte Bardot, Ali McGraw, Jayne Mansfield, Natalie Wood, etc.

  7. I thought about a lot of those. Natalie--I couldn't find a pic that I really wanted on here. Sophia's not really my type despite her acclaim. She's a bit too "strong-looking," if that makes any sense. Very defined jawline or something. Bardot seems like the very buxom type, which I would say is not my type (I guess this is why I prefer the Beatles to the Rolling Stones/am a pedophile?). And Ali McGraw, well post some pics. I forget what she looks like.

  8. I love Natalie. And I think I like "buxom," too. I bet you wouldn't think much of Ali, she may be too masculine for you.

  9. Natalie is indeed beautiful. And I like buxom too, but I'd still say it's not my preferred type. I guess it just really depends. Is Eva Green considered buxom?

  10. I have no clue... Are you saying you like Eva Green?

  11. For modern-day equivalents of these women, please view all of the Battle of the Hotties threads on RT:

    It's a bit overwhelming with so many women and pictures, but certainly a lot of beauty lies within.
