Kate Rusby

or Audrey Tautou

or Penelope Cruz

or Freema Agyeman

or Lisa Hannigan

On the top one. Deneuve is sexy tho.

It's Joan from Mad Men.

Pheobe Cates from Gremlins (and Fast Times At Ridgemont High)

Apologies if this doesn't work.

Edit Bloody hell. I truly am a numpty.

But Sky Sports' Charlotte Jackson currently does it for me. Cheeky grin, magnificent eyebrows, loves football, what more could a man possibly want?

Would have to be Isabella Rossellini...

or Miss Joanne Whalley (circa Edge of Darkness / Singing Detective).....

...this thread really makes me feel inadequate. Although I do like football, so fulful at least one of the aforementioned criteria.

... I can assure you that the prime handsomeness on display had me feeling pretty inadequate as well.

As I do, with the Oktoberfest rapidly approaching, I'm pleased to see that the local Mädchen are increasingly looking like this.

they all look mighty fine to me.

On behalf of Mrs Clef, Neil Finn and Sean Bean still float her boat. Any more than eight letters and she gets confused...

Gen

Issy

from Twin Peaks still works for me. Sorry I can't work out how to post the photos.

Sigh.

it's Michelle Phillips

Could someone more technically competent than me please post a photo?

A thing of beauty is a joy forever: its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness

or if it's good enough for Neil Young, Graham Nash et al:

.....not Bob himself you understand but the actress he is said to have had a crush on as a teenager.
Claire Bloom.
So attractive that her overwhelming good looks essentially led to her being miscast in 'Look Back In Anger' as she was simply too good looking.....of course Jimmy Porter would have had an affair with her!

we have a winner:

the stunning Ann Margaret, phew!

Innit?

...okay then, maybe it's Audrey Hepburn. But if not it's Barbara Flynn in her prime...

It's still Kate Rusby. [goes for lie down]

Diane Kruger, mmmmmm.

The thing which worries me, however, is that she was fourteen in this photo.

So I don't want any comments about furry collars or, worse, if the photographer had framed the shot a bit lower, we might have seen her muff as well.

the goddess michelle pfeiffer:

"I was interviewing her about Frankie and Johnny, but she had made the movie six months previously, another one since and was filming a third. She couldn't remember the movie and the interview was a little dull and I remember that she had said in a previous interview that she sometimes felt like a duck. I said that if only all ducks looked like her, then most of the men in the country would be in court for bestiality," .

I must admit to having had a thing about the younger Helen Mirren, seen here in Excalibur:

And Signourney Weaver also made quite an impression on me in my youth - especially this scene:

Emanuelle Beart, mes amis.

in Matera, Italy. Ti voglio bene, signorina... i tuoi occhi brillano come le stelle nel cielo e voglio fare l'amore con te stasera. Chiamami quando vuoi...

Well done, sir. I once saw a picture of Genevieve in an old Films and Filming magazine (presumably a feature on her starring role in "Anne of a Thousand Days") when I was but 10 years old and fell hopelessly in love with her. Quite painful it was. Mlle Huppert is another worthy choice. I just saw a surprising amount of her in J-L Godard's Sauve Qui Peut" (hint, hint!). She's a terrific actress and, yes, very easy on the eye also. Vive la différence!

but I'm taking my life in my hands(ahem)just looking at it.A man has to sleep sometimes and with both eyes shut.

ladies I would place in that exalted position, I'm surprised there's no mentioned of...

*Posted with the kind permission of Mrs Squeezer.

Irene Jacob, especially in her Kieslowski films:

and Juanita Stein of The Howling Bells:

... the woman who would be my wife.

She doesn't exist at present, so until that fateful day - it has to be 'The Body'

Charlotte Rampling

her surname alone sounds like a deeply pleasurable thing to do

Was it not Mr Hepworth who stumbled upon her when he went to interview Tim Finn and was rendered slack-jawed by her stunning beauty?

she is beautiful

Has anybody actually met the women they've posted pics/vids of and did they meet your expectations? I've met both of those I posted above and they are both just as stunning in real life.

I "met" Irene Jacob after seeing her perform in Madame Melville (with Macauley Culkin!) at the Vaudeville. Couldn't really speak to her as her bodyguard was looming over the small group that had begun to surround her but I did manage to get a pic - and she accidentally touched my hand!

Juanita Stein I've seen several times as she and her band always seem to hang around the audience at gigs and are very approachable. After one of their gigs/signings at the Virgin Megastore (RIP) she was browsing the aisles with a bunch of CDs in her grasp. Knowing she has pretty good taste in music I thought I'd take the opportunity to strike up a conversation with her. I asked her if she had anything interesting and she proceeded to show me four or five CD covers that seemingly featured neither song title nor artist, just blocks of colour or abstract images so I basically nodded in approval of all of her selections until, finally, I recognised something - a CD by Prince!

"Um, not really my cup of tea"

Conversation: Stone. Dead.

I could almost hear her saying "just leave me alone creep!" as I shuffled away back to my friends...

...Hedy Lamarr.

Come on chaps and chapesses, all these pin-ups are a bit flashy aren't they?

Or Lol in This is England

Kristin Scott Thomas. Beautiful. Talented. Bilingual. Perfect storm.

He only wanted Ava

Olivia de Havilland

in glorious black and white, in the less glorious "Sin City" I think my heart nearly stopped. Unfortunately, she seems to have shed most of her clothes in that, so you'll have to make do with a colour pic. Sorry about that.

And for English roses - it would be a toss up between Jenny Agutter and Maddy Smith, which, come to think of it...

What a beautiful creature she was.I'm having palpitations just thinking about her in that scene from Sex and the single girl where she's half naked in the bed on the phone.Phew!

... and most of them have left me feeling a little er... moist.

Ingrid Pitt yet!

A stunner however you look at her.

sticking to my op, Halle Berry really is aesthetically incredibly beautiful:

But OMG, Chakka Khan has something:

?

Romana I (Mary Tamm)

Romana II (Lalla Ward, now Mrs Richard Dawkins to prove there is no God)

Nigella Lawson

She'll do for me

I went to see Krull for my 13th birthday.

She's still got it...

may or may not be the most beautiful woman ever but she is certainly aesthetically pleasing

That peculiar (disturbing?) French tradition of sultry jail-bait that makes me feel like Jeremy Irons...
Gentlemen..Alizee Jacotey

and I'll always have a soft spot for the wonderfully cute and fantastically talented Shawn Colvin

Johnny Marr to me. Sorry, Grant, had to be said

said Mick on Get Your Ya-Ya's Out.

You can see why

She always used to get my heart racing a bit. Nothing to do with her propensity for disrobing on screen, oh no.

... as I thought.
Sorry about the double-post.

The wonderful Keeley Hawes. She's just got... something.
*sigh*

she is sweetly pretty and i want to protect her

Elizabeth Shue

Also partial to Catherine Keener:

My favorite ex-WAG/M and S model

my fav redhead:

to give Ms A a treat

Here she is performing Secret Heart, rocking out...

...some of those young ladies will catch their deaths if they don't button up their cardies.
