Eve's lack of a belly button would freak me out, and Mary was disturbingly young before she got pregnant (girls were married at age 12 back then, sometimes even younger. Yahweh had a weird taste).

I guess I'd go with Bathsheba. King David had eight wives and all the concubines he could eat, but he still wanted her so strongly that he had her husband killed to get her. She must have been breathtakingly gorgeous. (Assuming for a moment that all those characters were real).

Well, here is Bathsheba from the 1951 movie

I think that Gina Lollobrigida and Barbara Hersey were more shagadellic in their biblical roles.

Here is the dance scene from the Sodom and Gamorrah movie

Doesn't seem convincingly decadent and apalling, if that's what they were going for.
