A list like that without Lauren Bacall is not a list.

Thanks Jay. That is a good idea. All I have to do is drop Harlow and Brooks.

Looking at the list, I think you need to slightly adjust the description of the
face-off. These are all actresses who had major career success in the ‘40s and
‘50s. My initial thought was to suggest names from the ‘20s and ‘30s, but I
don’t think that is where you are going. BTW, the list looks good for those
rules (career after 1945 and before 1960)

I am going to start a three week series of Face/Offs, choosing the Sexiest
pre-1960 actress ever!
Here's how it will work:
There will be 16 to start. The first 8 days they will go against each other.
The next four days the winners of the first 8 will go against each other. Then
the next two days the winners of those four will go against each other. and
then the two last winners will have a final Face/Off!
Now here are the rules:
1) They must be incredibly sexy (so I don't think great actresses like Bette
Davis or Barbara Stanwyck or Joan Crawford qualify, but I am open to opposing
viewpoints!)
2) They must be talented actresses who had substantial careers (so I don't
think super-sexy women like Jayne Mansfield or Gina Lollabrigida qualify, but I
am open to opposing viewpoints!)
3) They must have had a substantial portion of their career before 1960, and as
an adult, so Natalie Wood, Ann-Margret, and tons of others don't qualify.
Here is a preliminary list (in no particular order):
Marilyn Monroe
Sofia Loren
Brigitte Bardot
Jean Harlow
Catherine Deneuve
Grace Kelly
Audrey Hepburn
Kim Novak
Louise Brooks
Elizabeth Taylor
Ava Gardner
Ingrid Bergman
Lana Turner
Veronica Lake
Gene Tierney
Rita Hayworth
Hedy Lamarr
Diana Dors
HERE IS WHAT I AM ASKING OF YOU!
1) Who deserves to be on the above list, but isn't?
2) Who is on the above list, but doesn't deserve to be?
3) What is the sexiest single image you have ever seen of any or all of the
above (or your alternate choices)? I will use the best of them to create the
Face/Off images!
I will be fascinated to see what you great minds come up with. If this goes
well, I will follow it with a "post-1960" version.
