She's not the most beautiful woman in the world, but she's pretty enough and she's got perfect proportions and just the right amount of body fat, or something. Check out her legs the first time she comes down into the galley. Plus that slight southern accent makes her more feminine. Mmmmm...hmmmmm....
Just watched the movie again.She has a great figure...very curvy!It's significant that the casting director must have thought she had what it took to keep Captain Ron distracted.Have to admit I freeze framed the scene where Mom and daughter were polishing the deck.
I think the OP meant to ask "but why" in the title of the thread, as a way to pique interest in his personal reasons for explaining what it was about Mary Kay Place in this movie that made her so hot.
I agree, though.
Classic MILF-y goodness.
That one scene, when she tells Martin Short that she wants to "get it on" in the same bed that Clark Gable & Carol Lombard did, she is wearing this little white number, with the plunging neckline, and the hem only going down to mid-thigh, and the top falling off the one shoulder . . .
MKP was only about 44 when the movie was filmed. She looks hot because of the high heels, cleavage the shower scene and some of the other reasons already mentioned.
i was thinking the same thing as i was watching the film eariler on the "stars"channel,that's one sexy milf,maybe i'd seen her in other movies b4 but just never notice her untill now,
She was like 45 when this movie was made yet she was sporting the body of a 19 year old. I'm surprised Martin Short didn't try to put the moves on her in real life. He must be a good man.
I think wardrobe used a roll of duct tape to keep things under control in the shower scene. Either it was cold in the shower or she was enjoying it too, you could hang a sombrero on those things. #1 MILF even way back when she was on Mary Hartman.
