Thanks Jay. That is a good idea. All I have to do is drop Harlow and Brooks.

These are all actresses who had major career success in the '40s and '50s. My initial thought was to suggest names from the '20s and '30s, but I don't think that is where you are going. BTW, the list looks good for those rules (career after 1945 and before 1960) Jay Nemeth-Johannes 8901 N Rexleigh Dr Bayside, WI 53217 (970) 290-9797 <tel:%28970%29%20290-9797> (Cell) -- On 7/7/12 8:11 AM, "Bruce Hershenson" <brucehershen...@gmail.com <http://brucehershen...@gmail.com/> > wrote: I am going to start a three week series of Face/Offs, choosing the Sexiest pre-1960 actress ever! Here's how it will work: There will be 16 to start. The first 8 days they will go against each other. The next four days the winners of the first 8 will go against each other. Then the next two days the winners of those four will go against each other. and then the two last winners will have a final Face/Off! Now here are the rules: 1) They must be incredibly sexy (so I don't think great actresses like Bette Davis or Barbara Stanwyck or Joan Crawford qualify, but I am open to opposing viewpoints!) 2) They must be talented actresses who had substantial careers (so I don't think super-sexy women like Jayne Mansfield or Gina Lollabrigida qualify, but I am open to opposing viewpoints!) 3) They must have had a substantial portion of their career before 1960, and as an adult, so Natalie Wood, Ann-Margret, and tons of others don't qualify. Here is a preliminary list (in no particular order): Marilyn Monroe Sofia Loren Brigitte Bardot Jean Harlow Catherine Deneuve Grace Kelly Audrey Hepburn Kim Novak Louise Brooks Elizabeth Taylor Ava Gardner Ingrid Bergman Lana Turner Veronica Lake Gene Tierney Rita Hayworth Hedy Lamarr Diana Dors HERE IS WHAT I AM ASKING OF YOU! 1) Who deserves to be on the above list, but isn't? 2) Who is on the above list, but doesn't deserve to be? 3) What is the sexiest single image you have ever seen of any or all of the above (or your alternate choices)? I will use the best of them to create the Face/Off images! I will be fascinated to see what you great minds come up with. If this goes well, I will follow it with a "post-1960" version. -- Bruce Hershenson and the other 26 members of the eMoviePoster.com team P.O.
