I went to High School with Adrienne. Funny thing, that's her real name. We were in the choir together where I stood right behind her on the risers during practice and performances. (Nice view!)
I was also in two plays with her in High School as well; The Boyfriend (she stared and I was one of the 'strollers') and Teahouse of the August Moon (she stared and I was the moon [I ran the spotlight at the back so I didn't have to wear that horrible makeup but still got to go to all the cast parties]). My sister was buds with her and she came by the house a few times. Her mother really pushed her to be a star and sometimes I wondered if she enjoyed it.
20 some years later, I sat next to her on a flight. At first she didn't recognize me but then the light went on and she and I had a blast catching up. I know she looked a bit hard, but she really was a nice kid at heart. She told me that Hollywood was a mean place and she never felt she fit in there. (We didn't mention the porno flick she'd done in the intervening years.)
I couldn't vote for Brooke Shields as I also sat next to her on a plane ride from Washington DC to Southern California right after she was admitted to Princeton University. By the time we'd landed I had concluded that she was definitely the stupidest human being on the planet! And if that weren't bad enough, up close, she was really skinny, had a unibrow, and isn't nearly as pretty as you'd think.
My vote for Hottest from my childhood has to be Bridget Bardot followed closely by Jane Russel. However, there are a bevy of beautiful women shown here from all sorts of different years and childhood dreams.
Brigitte Bardot had my attention, too, as a teenager, mainly from foreign movies on TV.
PS You mentioned that Adrienne Barbeau had done some porn. So did Lynda Carter. Light core with her fully nude. I saw it once back in the 1980s on cable TV.
