Before the crash we had this thread and I voted for Jean Harlow. I have had a change of heart. I am now in love with Myrna Loy. Wow, I just love her.

I still love Rita Hayworth. Always will. However after dozens of viewings of The Thin Man series of films, Myrna Loy is one hot dame! Jesus H...she new how to love you with her eyes, right through the camera!

Blackthorn, take a number. Myrna Loy has been a favorite of mine since I first saw "The Thin Man" on TV as a kid. Not only is she beautiful but she is smart and that makes her very sexy.

Beautiful, sexy, intelligent, magnificent eyes and a great sense of humor=Myrna Loy.

Jean Arthur is a close second, tho.

Ah, everyone loves my favorite, Myrna Loy. Her chemistry with William Powell, even outside the Thin Man series, like Love Crazy, was great. I loved her in Test Pilot & her comedic skills shine in Mr. Blandings Builds hid Dream House & The Bachelor & the Bobbysoxer, both with Cary Grant.

Cheers!

Yep, Myrna Loy get top billings for sure. However, I have to give credit to Ingrid Bergman. Maybe it was the accent, or the fact that I discovered her at the ripe old age of 14, but she's captivating.

If you would not feel the horrible burden of Time weighing on your shoulders and crushing you to the earth, be drunken continually. Drunken with what? With wine, with poetry, or with virtues, as you will. But be drunk.. ask what hour it is.. 'It is the hour to be drunken! Be drunken, if you would not be martyred slaves of Time; be drunken continually! With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you will.' "

Thelma Todd should be tops, for reasons which should be obvious.

Wait, they're not obvious?
