Actresses who were never “big,” but they make you moan, “Ooooooh, YEAH” when you see them.



Some of ‘em had small parts in big movies.
Many were background eye candy in straight to video schlock. They did a lot of horror work, some cheesy sci-fi, action and comedy; but God love them all. Who are YOU going to nominate?

Just to be clear: these women are from different eras. Make your nominations on the basis of how the actress looked in her prime. A symphony does not last forever. Neither does a blooming orchid nor a superb meal; but our memory of them can last till the end of our days. I want to emphasize something. This is not supposed to be an exhaustive list of the most beautiful and desirable actresses, only of those who were minor players. Julie Christie is not on this list because she was a major player in her day; nor is Sophia Loren on the list, for the same reason. Let us celebrate the unsung, okay? Thank you.

Kari Wuhrer

Tia Carrera

Julie K. Smith

Natalie Dormer

Rachel Ward

Joan Severence

Tracy Scoggins

Heather Locklear

Kimberly Malyn

Debra Blee

Barbara Carrera

Jaime Pressly

Julie Strain

Betty Gilpin

Jesse Jane

Diora Baird

Bobbi Sue Luther (yum yum yum, yum yumyum)

Note: all the actresses below were in the same movie, Embrace of the Vampire! (The original, not the remake.) How can you make a movie so stuffed with pulchritude and NOT make an adult entertainment?

Rebecca Ferratti

Charlotte Lewis

Glori Gold

Alyssa Milano

Rachel True

Jordan Ladd

Jennifer Tilly (does not meet the “not
famous” criterion) but is part of this amazing collection of snatch in a single film

Kari Wuhrer rightly so deserves the top spot on this list, but where pray tell is Monique Gabrielle?

reply

Susan Ward. 2000.

None of these actresses are or were "bit part" players but they had or have less prominent careers and there would be people who have never heard of some of them:

I first took notice of her on an episode of 12 O’Clock High and thought she was very beautiful.

reply

I wouldn't word it that way, but definitely Kelly Lebrock, Musetta Vander, Amy Locane, Marzena Godecki and Laura Leighton.

reply

Arcane has been making some unusual posts lately.

reply

It's movie-related, so I'm okay with it.

reply

I think I said something once that set him off and he immediately put me on ignore. :)

But this is a great thread concept, so why not ?

reply

There's nothing wrong with the post itself, I have enthusiastically joined into the spirit of it with my own response. But if you read the whole of Arcane's OP right to the end the language is a bit off colour. I think Arcane might be having one of his little jokes.

reply

I hear what you're saying, but I'm not here to judge his turn of phrase, I just like ranking hot women.

reply

It's not like he'll reply anyway, so even more fun haha.

reply

I don't ever moan.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.😘
