I think I have to concur, though I usually go for the 60s art movy actresses like Bibi Andersson or Natalya Bondarchuk or Eva Mattes, or Christine Noonan in If… . That said, if one of those four got a short back and sides and tank top I’m not sure what I would do. Bibi Andersson smoking a pipe in Wild Strawberries is already pretty intense.
Zenobia,
I never heard of any of those women before, (I am woefully lacking in film knowledge) but i googled them and I have to say Bibi Andersson is lush (I am also a big fan of the yound audrey hepburn)
I have to say, I don’t find Google Image Search does any of them justice - for instance, the only picture of Eva Mattes I could find is the one where she’s being brutally stabbed by Klaus Kinski in Woyzeck.
Bibi Andersson is something, if Persona wasn’t such a creepy movie I would have been trying to climb inside the TV screen.
No objections to Katherine Hepburn, definitely, plus she’s awesomely cool. I also always had a bit of a thing for Lauren Bacall.
Actually, I was watching late 80s - early 90s Sonic Youth videos the other day, and Kim and Thurston were looking so amazing in them it was really pretty distracting.

Oh dear, memories of drunking giggling in front of a computer screen returning to me from somewhere …
