Originally, she wanted to be a ballet dancer, but she wasn’t quite good enough.

She is very good in Funny Face.


…but the movies she's in mainly revolves around a guy falling for her and trying to get in her pants from what I read.


I wouldn’t say that, actually.

I’ve watched most of her movies. Old movies were a special interest of mine for awhile. I’m fascinated by silent movies lately.

Natalie Portman was great in the Black Swan. It’s one of my favorite movies.

I get why Audrey Hepburn would be toward the top of classic era actresses.

I might be a bit weird on this one for more modern ones, I remember Thandie Newton making an impression on me in MI2. Mila Jovovich ended up high on my list I think largely for the Resident Evil movies. I'm trying to think of who else I might have found 'scary' seductive though and I'm drawing a bit of a blank right now. I was watching Oblivion last night and I really appreciated not actually being able to identify Olga Kurylenko for a while (it shows versatility and talent when the recognition isn't immediate - and it's really unlikely you'd be able to watch her in Oblivion and then Centurion and make an immediate connection, affectation's too different) and for a lot of the early 2010's movies I'd have to give her an honorable mention.

What I would add, beautiful and insane projection capacity, was watching Naomi Watts in the 2008 King Kong where so much of the movie was without words and her affectation was an absolute magic trick (absolute don performance). That's something else that really gets me is when someone is able to go so next-level that you feel like you're watching something that transcends the media.

Brigitte Bardot and Penélope Cruz. Penélope Cruz is still sexy.

She looked really nice in that cavegirl outfit in One Million Years BC

She was the highlight of an otherwise very dumb movie.

She was pretty enough, and had a good bod, but didn't stand out as different to me.
She almost looks photoshopped even back then.
A dime a dozen as far as that type went.

You'll want to see Das Indische Grabmal (The Indian Tomb, 1959) for Debra Paget's famous snake dance.

Nothing sexier than a snake dance.

You'll also want to see the luscious Laura Gemser dance nude with a big snake in Black Cobra Woman (1976)



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbqvctp2DTM

And, of course, the lovely and talented Salma Hayek in From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)

Someone whose cute but always struck me as an awesome human and good acting versatility (Rosario Dawson):
