4. Naomi Watts - pretty, but a little too skinny here.
3. Evelyne Kraft - Not as pretty as the others. But nice body.
2. Fay wray - very pretty. Nice figure. But perhaps suffers from the primitive(pun intended)film technology of the 30's
My Vote: Jessica Lange! Hands down the hottest. I still haven't awoken from my daze from that beach scene, and like someone said, she's even hot fully clothed!
I have never seen The Mighty Peking Man, so I'm not including her in my ranking.
But for me, I take the entire package into account, not just the physical aspects.
My rankings. #1. Naomi Watts (King Kong 2005). Not only is she beautiful she also has a brain which she uses throughout the movie to not only survive the dangers of the island but also to outsmart Kong himself and see him for what he really is inside.
#2. Fay Wray (King Kong 1933). She's beautiful in the old Hollywood style of beauty. She also shows some spunk early in the film. Sure during much of the film she's turned into nothing more than a scream-queen, but I don't care.
#3. Jessica Lange (King Kong 1976). While she is cute, she also has an aurora of fakeness. But what really takes away from her overall ranking is her air-headed, bimbo-like and really stupid dialogue she spouts throughout the movie.

Actually in fact Jessica Lange doesn't spout stupid dialogue throughout the movie.
The only stupid dialogue is one scene with Kong early on (the star sign/chauvinist pig ape lines).
Jess Lange actually has some poignant dialogue later on when she questions how can she become a star at the expense of Kong being stolen from his island etc etc.
There is nothing stupid about shouting "nooooooo don't kill him" to the helicopters. In fact that idea was beloved by Peter Jackson, who stole it for his film.

I heard he hated the 1976 version, but I did always feel like he took ideas from it. Heard the same thing happened with the LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy and the animated film.
Well, I agree that Jessica Lange has/had tremendous sex appeal. Both girls are stunners. And Fay Wray made my dreams turn black & white. With both girls on an island I'd get in serious trouble.
I suppose going by the word 'hottest] Id pick Jessica Lange since she had a really good body and showed it off alot. Naomi Watts wasnt as sexy body wise but intellectually (which can be very sexy) she runs circles around Lange. Wray was limited by the early 30s script but she was pretty sexy herself and she had a nice body. Including that other woman in this discussion is ridiculous. Who the hell is she?
If I was super horny Id pick Lange but if I wanted someone to spend time with and get to know Id pick Watts.
I just saw King Kong '33 and I take it back. I'm going with Fay Wray, hands down! (until the next time I see King Kong '76 and a likely switch back to Jessica Lange).
