I'm on my phone so can't post photos, but in no particular order ...Ellen Degeneres.

Ellen Degeneres is REALLY pretty, and I thought it was a stroke of genius to make her a Cover Girl model.

What a nice idea for a thread!

Bette (strange thing is - at first, I didn't like her at all, but now I simply adore her)


Kathrine, Kathrine, Kathrine!



MMMMarilyn!


and a modern one: always had a crush on Drew Barrymore

Great thread! I admire many many women, and feel that women are more attractive than men (at least when both hit thirty and onward), but my two all time favorites are: Elizabeth Taylor and Brigitte Bardot.

"I have always adored beautiful young men. Just because I grow older, my taste doesn`t change. So if I can still have them, why not? "

[when asked what was the best day of her life] "It was a night . ." B.B.

"I have a woman's body and a child's emotions."

"I've always admitted that I'm ruled by my passions." La Liz

What a wonderful thread, LadyDay!
Completely agree with Gene Tierney, Christina Hendricks (I adore her in Mad Men) and the hilarious Ellen DeGeneres.

Here are mine!

The brilliant Irene Dunne.

Ava Gardner

Maureen O'Hara (I have always wanted hair like hers!)

Nigella Lawson - Met her in person and she is absolutely beautiful and very down to earth and friendly.

Absolutely... she's just gorgeous!

 

[Amy Jeanne]

NO DOUBT ABOUT IT

There are others, but Jean Harlow makes me forget them. lol
I am obsessivly in love with this woman. She's my #1 celebrity crush, male or female.

I also agree with Miss Cherry Lips -- women are more attractive and generally more interesting to look at than men. I have so many female crushes but only a handful of men!

 

[kamikat]

I absolutely love Norma Shearer

Joan Blondell was my first silver screen crush and I still love her.

 

[Sam Craig]

Just stumbled onto this thread ... I really didn't mean to intrude, ladies ... and before I knew it I was hooked.

Congratulations of including so many women of true worth, who had such depth of talent and character as well as physical beauty!

Most were great choices.

How could I forget Virginia? I saw her singing it's A Great Big World in The Harvey Girls and iImmediatly purchased or rented everything she was in.

 

[Almost Vintage]

A few of my favorites:

Rosalind, Madeline, and Constance

 

[Amy Jeanne]

Though not close to Jean, I still love these womens a lot.

Martha Tilton

Dorothy Lamour

Lilyan Tashman (VERY CLOSE SECOND to Jean! )

Kay Francis

And PLZ don't laugh at my "modern" crush, but....I think Gwen Stefani is just lovely!!

 

[Snowdrop]

^^ Gwen Stefani is AWESOME!

 

[Red Diabla]

I will always stop and watch a film with Eve Arden in it:

I've always wanted to look like Lauren Bacall:

Crush is really too weak a word for my feelings toward B.B. and la Liz (both still alive!), obsession is more like it. No other famous woman, or man, can come close.

Wow, this thread exploded! So cool; I agree, my list of girl crushes stretches for miles, but as for men, I'm a lot more picky!

Here are my top vintage ladies:

-Marilyn, of course! She's just mesmerizing to watch, and I think she had better acting skills than most give her credit for.

-Audrey. Cliche, yes, but truly one the prettiest women ever IMHO.

- Mae West, just because she's so unabashedly fabulous!! I mean, she became Hollywood's hottest *** symbol in her late 30s, recorded a rock n roll album in her 70s... she's so great.

- Bettie Page. I know she became famous for her body, but it's her face that fascinates me... she has my dream hair and eyebrows! So adorable:

 

[Lincsong]

That's so cool!

Now... roll Lincsong... roll! lol

I'm doing backflips now. bahahahahhaa

Exactly how I feel about Jean. Only my husband is on the same level as her. She's the most perfect woman ever to me. I love her in ALL her incarnations, but admit I'm especially fond of her earliest look:
