If you search for images of these old gals or look on Pinterest, you'll be amazed at the great pics you find. Some of the hairstyles and makeup looks a bit odd, but pretty is pretty regardless.
Yeah, most of the babes mentioned on here were from my 'ute (or adulthood), not my childhood!

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.
Lynda Carter was in "Bobbie Jo and the Outlaw" with Marjoe Gortner, a televangelist preacher when he wasn't acting.
Marjoe exchanged his entire salary for a few script revisions that let him get big double handfuls and mouthfuls of Lynda's boobs in a couple of different scenes in the movie. Good trade if you ask me.
(I made up the "exchanged salary" part but if'n it were me I'd gladly have paid to film those scenes with Lynda )
Never heard that Adrienne was in a porno, although she did do a quick topless scene in "Swamp Thing". What was the name of that porno? Just askin' for educational reasons, of course....
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
Well if we had to go to my "childhood" it would have to be Joan Bennett. You could add Maureen O'Sullivan as well. You know, Jane from the Tarzan flicks. From my young adulthood times though, you all left out my favorite, Yvette Mimeux. I saw her in the Time Machine and talk about instant lust. Oh yeah! Lots of lovely ladies in this thread and given the chance I'd do every one of them but still, Yvette is my all time favorite. Paul B.

I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
Well just about anyone I would have mentioned has been brought up at least once. (props to the one Maren Jensen pic, Athena from the original Battlestar did wonders for my early testosterone production) The only person I could easily recall I didn't see mentioned was Susan Anton, seen here with the oft cited Catherine Bach in Cannonball Run 2.
If there's one thing I've become certain of it's that there's too much certainty in the world.

Jane Seymour, too! Here they are in a scene together:

I actually thought of Jane but this being TV oriented I'd always thought of her more as a movie actress than TV but I actually think you're right, she belongs on the list. (mine anyway)
