Rowrrr....

Lana Turner was so sexy in this movie and that got me to thinking we don't have that kind of sexiness anymore. The sort of classy sexy... the hide the dirty ravenous woman underneath. It's all out in the open nowadays no mystery. SO-

Of the "Golden Age" of cinema who are you 5-10 favorite leading ladies or men, in terms of the rowrrr factor. You know style, class, beauty, and attitude not necessarily acting. And if you are so inclined list a movie you liked that they were in.


Ingrid Bergman - Nortorious

Rita Hayworth - Gilda (Maybe the sexiest female role ever), certainly her entrance in the film is in the top five of all character reveals in movie history. Oooo that flip of the hair...

Lauren Bacall - "You know how to whistle don't you? Just press your lips together and blow."

Barbara Stanwyck - Ball Of Fire or The Lady Eve. I never understood why they had her wear a wig in Double Indemnity when she is a smoking hot brunette and that wig just distracted me.

Veronica Lake

Garbo

Sophia Loren

Grace Kelly of all the Hitchcock blonds I'd have to give it to her damsel not really in distress in Rear Window... yummy!
