Hottest Women of All Time

I'd like to toss the hat in the ring for the lovely Ann-Margret and the also lovely Nannette Fabre. They were the sex kittens of their time.:cattail:
 
Rube (n. Am. circus slang, ca 1930's): a person who isn't sexually aroused by graphs.

LOL and it's rare that I do, Thanks Doc.:)

We see in this discussion various interpretations of "Hotness" and so the "Hottest Women of All Time," must be a vastly populated list.

Realistically the Hollywood orientation is due to media selection, and may be the best means of selection for "Hottest."

"Most Attractive" would be a broader class, I'd expect. And Stella has a point that proximity and opportunity, are significant factors.

Eye contact can change the degree of "Hotness" in a flash. A four can zoom up to eight in a instant with the right eye expression.

As much as I love redheads, I'd go with Audrey.

I personally didn't care for JA on Friends, or most of her other movies, besides "Horrible Bosses." nevertheless, she is a lovely woman. Great skin.

I was wondering about an agreed definition for "hotness".
True beauty, or that in the eye of a talented photographer ?



These probably would never end up on a list, but they are the actresses that I personally would go lesbian for. I know that I really like guys, so a woman has to have a lot of charisma and a certain something for me to be interested.

That last one is Very Pretty.
 
"Objection, Your Honor."

That last one is Very Pretty.

Michelle Rodriguez was very pretty, in fact beautiful, until she had a face surgery, fake teeth, and a skin peel.

So, Old MR would make my list, but new MR, no thanks.

Her slightly crooked teeth used to scream sexy, and not in the 'I might bite you' way that Kirsten Dunst's do.

Also, somehow we have skipped Zoe Deschanel (now: Zooey for some reason). She pulls off the MM or JA 'smart airhead bit' better than JA, and almost as good as Marylin, despite her constantly over the top 'artsy and I'm so different' routine.

Hooray for the modern era:

Bergman was never really sexy
Excuse me? Humphrey Bogart wanted to run off with her and was not only devastated when she wasn't at the train station, but broken up when he saw her again with another man ;) Consider that look she offers from under that hat...need I say more?
 
Check out the beauties from the 20s: Lillian Gish, Clara Bow, Mary Pickford, Faye Wray.
 
Well, I know she would never make a list like this because not that many people know who she is. And brains don't seem to be very high on the qualities of what makes a woman hot (for a lot of men, anyway). But for my own "hottest women" list, Rachel Maddow would be at the top. She is super smart, super passionate...and super liberal doesn't hurt (for me, that is). And she has this geeky side that I find hot. She's also quite attractive. Rachel is the whole package.

Smart women are awesome. I didn't know this lady had a show, I'll watch once. Nothing wrong with smart, it works like funny, it can only help. For instance: No one likes a smoking hot ditz, that is also a bitch, unless they want to fuck.
 
Oh dear, more time to think of the nice ones:

Joanna Petit
Jean Shrimpton
Dalia Levi
Ursula Andress
Jacqueline Bisset

that will do for now, I think
 
Rita Hayworth just had to toss her hair back and look innocent to get men going, a la Shawshank
 
Imho

Audrey Hepburn never did a thing for me.
Ingrid Bergman could certainly play hot: check out Notorious.
Personally, ya gotta be somewhat slutty to be hot (this just shows how subjective this subject is), so Harlow certainly is up there for me. But most professional porn stars are not.
And I also have to agree somewhat with Stella, proximity can add a lot to hotness.
 
I think it might be good to stop at this point and briefly meditate on the meaning of "hotness" (or "hottiness" or even "hotitude" if you prefer.)

Being beautiful isn't the same as being hot. Being sexy isn't even quite the same as being hot. Beauty, and even sexiness to a certain degree, are physical qualities, and I'm sure we can all think of examples of men and women who are beautiful and sexy but not hot. Ingrid Bergman and Grace Kelly were certainly beautiful, but they didn't even register on my hotometer. In fact, all of Hitchcock's heroines were notorious for being beautiful but sexless blondes. Could anyone possibly refer to Doris Day as hot??

It's harder to think of women who were sexy and heatless, but Tyra Banks immediately comes to my mind. This magnificently sexy model had an unfortunate talk show on TV, and once she opened her mouth and revealed how totally dull, vapid, and self-absorbed she was, any pretensions to hotness just flew out the window. Hearts and penises shrank. She knew everything about being sexy and nothing about being sexual.

I think of hotness as a measure of sexual potential. It's our estimate of how good a sex partner someone would make, or how exciting it would be to suddenly be the object of their attention at a party, say. Volts are a measure of electrical potential. The higher the voltage between two object, the bigger the spark they're going to crate. It's something like that.

Beauty vs. hotness seems straightforward enough to me, but I wondered how you’d separate hotness and sexiness. I think you have managed, though; in place of Tyra Banks, I can think, say, Keanu Reeves. Not the freshest example, but fits your scheme, I think. Beautiful and desirable, until—well, not even until he speaks. The vacant facial expression is enough to undo the illusion.

I’m partially surprised with what you say about Hitchcockian blondes, though, and I don’t mean to start an analysis of sexuality in his movies. I just mean, don’t we tend to read hotness into cool surfaces? Or maybe it’s something that women do, or I do.
 
Nearly all the selections made in this thread have been visually based .To me appearance alone is like an empty canvas; movement, a smile, the sound of her voice, even her smell: whatever it takes to elicit a response.
 
Hotness relies on 70% looks and 30% sexuality. As stated, a woman can be drop dead gorgeous and do nothing to stimulate a man's senses, if she has no sexiness.
Sensuality and confidence in it are what bring out her true hotness to go along with her looks.
Looks are key here, in that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, which makes it a personal choice, but one woman's sexiness can appeal to a large number of men.
