Man, I have been falling behind the times here. . .
Some very gorgeous nominees, but the most beautiful woman who ever lived was Silvana Mangano. I'll try to find a good pic somewhere on line. She was of the same era as Lolobridgida and Loren - a dancer and actress. Married Dino De Laurentis, and would be Giada D's grandmother. . .

Thanks, Poet. That's her (pant, drool).
I found some photos, including the cover of Life magazine, but haven't quite worked out how to insert them here.[/img]

Thanks for posting that!

I've been listening to this retro/pop band from the UK lately - The Pipettes. They copied that scene for the video of their song "Pull Shapes". I knew it must have come from somewhere.

I wasn't able to bring up the video, but I gather it was a Martine Beswick scene from Hammer's One Million Years BC. I recall a catfight in that one, where nice girl Raquel Welch had had enough attitude from bad girl Martine, and they wrestled all over the cave to the enthusiastic grunts of the cavemen onlookers ( and male moviegoers).

No one has mentioned my reference to the lovely Diana Hyland, and it may be that she wasn't in that many movies or shows. In addition to her unforgettable role in the Twilight Zone " Spur of the Moment", she was also in a Star Trek episode as a beautiful blind woman accompanied in her travels by a hideous creature in a box.
Her real life story had a sad ending, from what little I know about it. She and John Travolta fell in love while making a television movie but she died unexpectedly, still pretty young I think.

Last night, I recalled another classic Hollywood beauty, the truly exquisite Jean Peters, who was a dark haired actress in Fifties movies. I think her best role is the beautiful and intelligent newlywed in the 1952 film Niagara, where she and her husband get involved with a truly strange couple played by Marilyn Monroe and Joseph Cotten.
She also played a prostitute in Sam Fuller's Pickup on South Street, Zapata's wife in Huston's Viva Zapata, and and Tyrone Power's love interest in Captain from Castile, a late Forties film that was probably her first movie role.

Oops! Sorry I meant to quote the other two posts about the "Carrie Nations" from "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls"

Here's the original scene:

BOVD ROCKS.....I love that movie. Meyers is SO over the top it is parody of parody....John LaZar, no one else could have played that role as well as he....the famous line 'this is my scene & it freaks me out!' he got into it with Meyers saying he couldn't speak such an obviously idiotic phrase....Meyers replied 'U'r an actor aren't U?' Touche!! In retrospect that's one of the classic lines from the film.

Meyer's intent was to NOT inform the cast that this film was a parody...he instructed everyone with the utmost seriousness about their motivations etc....he wanted them to play it as straight as possible....the comedy was in Meyer's handling of the material to make it the classic it is today....

I would post a picture of Victoria Beckham if only I knew how to post pictures on here. She is gorgeous. If there was a silicone doll based on her I would buy it in a heartbeat!

Oh dear, my memory was playing tricks on me when I said the beautiful Diana Hyland played a blind scientist on the original Star Trek. It was Diana Muldaur, in the third season, in the episode titled " Is There in Truth No Beauty?"

I remember her as being dark haired and gorgeous, but it's been years since I saw that episode.

There were also two very moving episodes, both of which had Spock falling in love. One was a time travel story where he and McCoy were sheltered in an icy wilderness in a cave occupied by a lovely woman who had been exiled there. Mariette Hartley played the woman and she was simply heartbreaking.
The other episode featured the stunning Jill Ireland as a sort of hippie woman living on a peaceful commune. The scene where the all business Spock embraces her and says wonderingly " I can love you" brings tears to my eyes just writing about it.

Sorry, but I'm a hopeless romantic and a sucker for emotional stories.

I recall both those episodes well. Let's see now, here's a rendition that U didn't remember I bet....From the one where Spock says 'I can love U'

Poet, you must be one fun guy to know. I'll bet you have lots of friends who get a kick out of your sense of humor.
Thank you for that Star Trek bit. That was one of the cleverest things I've ever seen. Especially because Spock's expressions and dialogue seemed so natural.

You really contribute a lot to this forum with your surprise videos and interesting bits of information. I'm still curious about that reference to being a huge Barbara Steele fan and being able to tell stories... that's what made me wonder if you might have actually met her.

Barbara was my spritual muse. Her, inside the Iron Maiden at the end of 'Pit & the Pendulum' the camera closing onto her eyes...was almost spiritual to me....her beauty was something, gothic, almost supernatural....I've many original posters 7 lobby cards as well as artwork I did (I was a professional artist B4 going into another field fulltime).

But thanks for the compliments!
