Being gay, I feel no attraction for females. However, I loved Grayson Hall's appearance the most, so I would rank her #1.

11=highest; 1=lowest

11 Grayson
10 Kate Jackson (I wish she had been Victoria)
9 KLS  (what is up with TLATKLS--what is that supposed to mean???)
8 Donna Wandrey
7 Alexander  Moltry (she grew sort of ugly after the first year)
6 Lara Parker (Evil!)
5  Joan Bennet.....Flora!
4. diana Millay
3 Nancy Barrett (something about her just does not resonate beauty)

-4 and -3. Marrie Wallace and Terry Crawford are both very nasty looking women, so I rank them as -3 and -4 respectively.  >:( >:(

Diana Millay....(2)

Terry Crawford.....idk who that is either  ??? ???
Donna Wandrey...who???  ??? ??? ???
Alexandtra Moltke...Vicki had her moments....in color she looks soooo pretty, in B&W her face just loses its gentle coloring and she just looks kinda ghostly white.....but in color yaaaay ( 8 )

I'll do this from a "who I think is prettiest" point of view.

#1 being the highest

#1 Joan Bennett-Classic beauty
#2 KLS- girl next door kind of beauty
#3 Nancy Barrett- cool chick beauty
     wears great clothes
#4 Lara Parker - bitchy beauty
#5 Kate Jackson- what an angel
#6 ( tie)Marie Wallace- very pretty in person
            Donna Wandrey-also prettier in person
#7 Diana Millay- I though her characters were bland but
     she is very pretty
#8 Terry Crawford- also bland characters but lovely lady
#9 Alexandra Moltke- she's such a bore
Next the hunks :-*. I already know who #1 will be

Since I am a woman who likes men I can't consider physical attributes and sex appeal. No clue on that! Also I think the word chick is degrading, but just my opinion. Here is the order I chose, notice the red heads get high scores.

10. Donna Wandrey
 9. Marie Wallace
 8. Nancy Barrett
 7. Kathryn Leigh Scott
 6. Lara Parker
 5. Terry Crawford
 4. Joan Bennett
 3. Kate Jackson
 2. Alexandra Moltke
 1. Diana Millay

The word "chick" was not intended in a "degrading" manner but for humor and attention.  I do apologize, if I offended any of the DS actresses, who I hold with the highest regard.

Post by: kuanyin on April 05, 2002, 03:34:12 AM
That's a toughie, but I would have to go with Kate Jackson as my top choice. It is such a delight to see her in her youth, and she is still just as attractive as ever.

After that I would say Lara Parker and Diana Millay. Lara was always hindered by what a witch her character was, kind of takes the ooomph out of the sex appeal. Diana Millay isn't what I would call sexy, but has rather a Grace Kelly elegance, and I have always envied those who had it.

I'm a female and I do not find the word "chick" or "broad" the least bit offensive. . that's reading way too much into things. . .oh and I AM a Feminist.

The rating scale is from one (lowest) to ten (highest). Who is your favorite DS female when considering physical attributes and sex appeal?


1. Diana Millay (always reminded me of an aging Barbie doll)
2. Donna Wandrey (eh)
3. Lara Parker (cheekbones are very weird)
4. Kate Jackson (eh)
5. Terry Crawford (her chin was a bit weird, but other than that quite a pretty woman)
6. Kathryn Leigh Scott (TLATKLS) (pretty, but nothing remarkable)
7. Joan Bennett (in her day, she would have made top of the list)
8. Nancy Barrett (her character rolesoften hide it, but she has good features and there's something unique about her that makes her stand out)
9. Alexandra Moltke (Sheila Welch once posted some photographs of ads Moltke did for a furrier--stunning woman)
10. Marie Wallace (I'm kind of surprised I put her at the top of the list, but she exuded S.A. during her appearance as Eve in a way that none of the other actresses really did).

It's her opinion and she acknowledged that it was.  If she doesn't like a term for women or anything else but wants to answer the question, I don't understand why she can't express that as politely as she did in her reply.  So please, let's respect each other despite our different opinions instead of making this an issue.

Since I like men this will be hard, but I'll give it a try:      10: Lara Parker,  9:Kathryn L. Scott,  8:Nancy Barrett,  7:Joan Bennett,  6:Marie Wallace,  5:Kate Jackson,    4:Alexandra Moltke,  3:Donna Waldry,  2:Diana Milay,   1:Terry Crawford

I'm also - ahem - on the other side of the ball field, too, TEStokes, but I cannot in anyway deny that there is one who straightens me out with absolutely no problem:  TLATKLS.  I would melt if I could ever take her to the prom.

Post by: Julian on April 05, 2002, 05:29:46 PM
10.. KLS
9. Joan Bennett (Looks and class, always a combo that gets me)
8. Kate Jackson
7. Donna M. (Amanda Harris.  I know she's not on the original list, but I think she's very pretty, esp. in those 1897 outfits)
6. Alexandra V. Moltke
5. Terry Crawford (she has a very angular face that I find attrractive)
4. Diana Millay
3. Nancy B.
2. Lara P.  (maybe it's the character that has me placing her so low)
1. Marie Wallace - I believe she's what might have once been referred to as a "handsome" woman (my wife says if you call a woman handsome you might just as well come out and say she looks like a horse) but I think Wallace is very striking looking (another phrase my wife thinks is a back-handed compliment)

That has happened to me too, Cassandra.  It's because : and D are the code for the toothless smiley, so if they ever appear next to each other in your text (or any of the other smiley codes, for that matter) that's what'll show up.

Here's what you typed, and you can see for yourself that the smiley code is in there--
Code: [Select]
3:Donna Waldry,  2:Diana Milay,
You can click "modify" and insert spaces between each : and D, then "save", or just say the word and I'll fix it for you.

Okay, well this isn't the thrill that the Have a Hunk section was for me.  So, I'll take this opportunity to recall who I most would have wanted to look like when I was a pre-teen/teen and watching for the first time.  

10.  Kathryn Leigh Scott (TLATKLS) - [king] I always thought she had the most angelic face and beautiful hair! The perfect heroine.
9. Nancy Barrett - [hello] Another one with great hair...and what young girl doesn't want to be that tiny!
8. Alexandra Moltke - [sssh] Very pretty, meloncoly, great cheekbones...her costumes pretty much reeked though.
7. Lara Parker - [skull] prettier from some angles than others...has an almost skelton head look sometimes. Gorgeous eyes though! [vryevl]
6. Kate Jackson - [angl2] Pretty especially during her very youthful DS time.
5. Joan Bennet - [sleep] I appreciate her beauty more now than when I was younger...she just seemed like someone's mom.
4. Marie Wallace - [smokn] Attractive but had an edge I would not have seen as good back when.
3.  Diana Millay - [sure] She's pretty but seems a little prissy.
2. Terry Crawford - [hdscrt] Pretty eyes, skin and great hair but has long face and kind of witch chin.  
1. Donna Wandrey [frkoff] - no, no, no - bad hair cut and I never could forgive her for taking Josette's place.

Once again - this was fun - thanks for adding it VAM!

I was merely trying to let VAM know that he did not offend all women on the board.  Reading VAMs message led me to believe that was the assumption.  Now this is my opinion and mine only.

Here are Byron's pics 1 being the best 10 being the least.

1. Lara Parker (This has been discussed at length in the, "Tell Me A story" post).
2. Alexandria Moltke (Warmest smile and pretiest face).
3. Nancy Barrett (Whats not to like???)
4. Blue Whale Dancer from 2nd episode that was doing the little side to side step. (She has no lines but looks good doing what she does).
5. Ruby Tate, (Like my women a little on the trashy side No apologies to Confederate Railroad).
6. Joanna Mills, (Have had dreams about this one that I would rather not go into here. The details may curl your hair).
7. Donna Wandrey, (When she had longer hair).
8. Hazar (Robin Lane also had sex appeal).
9. The Blue Whale Bar maid from 1841, (Again another one who has no lines and really doesnt need any!)
10. Marie Wallace, (Because I have a soft spot for red heads. She reminds me of one of my first girl friends).

if there was an 11th choice TLATKLS would fit there I guess, (sorry Ringo).

I hear ya, J99, and I know you were being supportive of another poster because she seemed offended.  And I told her when she contacted me off the board that I thought it was sweet and thoughtful to post an apology, but my point here was that no offense was ever intended in the first place.

And while I acknowledge that your intention was good and I'm sorry if I've caused you any embarrassment, I also have to go with the Board guidelines on this:

4. If a poster feels wronged, slighted, or offended by another poster, these disagreements should be taken up in private e-mail between the posters. These disagreements may also be brought to the forum moderator, if necessary, but members are strongly encouraged to solve these problems among themselves off-board.

I would have never got sucked into the storyline of the first year of DS if it wasn't for the beauty of Alexandra Moltke. Something about her charm made me want to watch.

1 Alexandra Moltke
2.Kate Jackson
3. KLS
4. Laura Parker
5.Joan Bennet
6. Grayson Hall ( something about her)
7.Nancy Barrett
Title: Re: PICK A CHICK
Post by: Miles on April 06, 2002, 06:46:17 AM
I'll rate the actresses I've seen.

1. Alexandra Moltke: she has this really bad habit of looking horribly unattractive at times, but she really is the most beautiful woman on the show.
2. Dianna Millay: I just love how she blinked 6 or 7 times whenever she said anything.
3. Lara Parker: She's always looked like a chipmunk to me, a pretty chipmunk with beautiful eyes, but a chipmunk.
4. KLS: She's good-lookin', but she still comes in 4th.
5. Nancy Barret: No explanation here
6. Joan Bennet: Maybe in a couple decades ill be able to better appreciate her beauty, which is, nevertheless, clearly there.
7. Clarice Blackburn: I'm willing to bet she was attractive not long before my parents were born
8. Grayson Hall: I'm sorry, but I just can't help seeing Michael Jackson.

Well, that's it.  Good night!

Just a few comments about each actress:

Lara Parker - gorgeous, penetrating eyes, beautiful hair, flawless skin.

Kathryn Leigh Scott (TLATKLS) - Another with flawless skin, always made me jealous when I watched as a teen, cursing my pimply puss.  Lovely brown eyes and excellent hair.  

Joan Bennet - didn't appreciate how stunning she was until I watched as an adult.  Great cheekbones and what a mouth!

Nancy Barrett - another with amazing hair, small, pretty face, but her chin and nose a bit too pointy.  

Diana Millay - her most arresting quality was her voice, and not the most enviable complexion.  Attractive in a way, but certainly no beauty, IMHO.

Marie Wallace - Very sexy, great red hair, throaty voice.  She really was something as Eve, but very ordinary as Megan Todd.

Terry Crawford - another magnificent mane, pretty face, but no chin.  

Donna Wandrey - Loved her red shag hairdo, it was very "in" at the time!  Gorgeous complexion, the kind I would have killed for.  She used to look at Jonathan Frid with the kind of adoration I had for him.  

Alexandra Moltke - Very beautiful--high cheekbones and marvelous hair, so thick and shiny.  Nice forehead.  

Kate Jackson - ethereal, lovely, a Southern Belle voice and face.  I used to wish I looked like her, but then again, I wanted to look like anybody other than myself.

Grayson Hall - Another flawless face, extra-high cheekbones and uptilted almond-shaped eyes.  Not conventionally beautiful, but gorgeous in her own way.

Love, Robin

Lara Parker - big eyes, hair, complexion
Kathryn Leigh Scott (TLATKLS) - hair and eyes
Alexandra Moltke - her long, thick hair
Nancy Barrett - hair, eyes
Kate Jackson - youthful complexion, hair, smile, eyes
Joan Bennett - for a mom. she held her own

Thanks for your responses!

Minja, I had thought about Lee Beery. However, there was only 10 spaces.  Perhaps we can do another to incude her, Virginia Vestoff, Lisa Richards, etc.
