Many good ones, I'll toss out Jane Russel.

Rene Zelwegger ruined Appaloosa for me.

Jean Simmons

Marlyn Monroe, River of No Return, The Misfits.

Maureen O'Hara

NONE.

The only way to ruin a good movie is to cast a leading lady that doesn't fit the story or the times...

The whole cast was great as well.

Ann Margaret - but, I didn't care if she fit the story - or the times!

Yup, her.

Want to kill a Western? Cast Barbara Stanwyck.

Vera Miles in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.

Angie Dickinson - Rio Bravo, good looker. Death Hunt - not as much.

Amanda Blake gunsmoke

Sharon Stone for the win!

Yvonne DeCarlo

That was a horrible movie. She might be able to act - a little (Casino) but in that western flick - she was rancid.

Joan Crawford and Mercedes McCambridge in ‘Johnny Guitar.’

Angie Dickenson


Gun the Man Down -- 1956:





Full length movie

But HOT!

Jean Seberg, Paint Your Wagon

Isabell May was pretty good in 1883. Reminds me of my oldest grand daughter.

Amanda Blake in Gunsmoke. There were several episodes that featured her as a strong woman who could hold her own.

Grace Kelly in High Noon, if you are into Princesses :o)

How could we not forget Raquel Welch

One I liked was Angela Zhou who played the man Fong on Hell on Wheels. She played the man very well and when she could be a woman, she was even better. She was born in China and raised in NZ. I haven't seen her in anything else she's played.

Claudia Cardinale in Once Upon A Time In The WEST ~ Nice bod!

I can’t recall any names, but there were quite a few that went through Gunsmoke and Bonanza that were smokin!

Smoking Hot Raquel Welch in 100 Rifles

My thoughts exactly. I watch alot of gunsmoke. I think it ran for like 20 years.

Why was she called Miss Kitty?

Shirley MacLaine in Two Mules for Sister Sarah.

Katy Jurado warmed up the screen a bit in that one too.

Check my mental hard drive

Wabs posted this same thread about 3 years ago

but anyway 🤔😃

Carry on✅

Penelope Cruz in All the pretty horses.

Yep.

How about Penelope Cruz and Selma Hayek in Bandidas

Felicia Farr

Yvonne De Carlo

Dana Delany in Tombstone. Something about her just calls to me.

Just off the toppa my head, I’d go with Maureen O’Hara. Just downright gorgeous, no matter if she was 27 or 57, but then, I’ve had a schoolboy crush on her since I was old enough to notice ladies.
Gotta give a callout to Jill Ireland too. In “From Noon Till Three”, I had a crush on her as well.
Ann Margret of course, ( I think I’ve always been in love with her), and the same goes for Claudia Cardinal, and Raquel Welch, with her and those eyes? A fellow couldn’t help but fall in love with the characters they played! Angie Dickinson in
“Rio Bravo” too.
I’m trying to get the spelling right for Felicia Far, who played in “3:10 To Yuma”, and “ Jubal” with Glenn Ford. She was beautiful as well. Im pretty sure she married Jack Lemon.
7mm

Don’t forget Farrah Fawcett in Jeremiah Johnson

Sondra Locke! LOL!!!

Nope

But in All the pretty horses she was a virgin!

Madeleine Kahn in Blazing Saddles. Hands down winner.

Well now you be throwing chit against the wall, hoping is sticks.

Claudia Cardinale in "Once Upon a Time in the West".

Diane Lane, end of story.

I told The Bin I would not post up Dale and her bodacious TaTa,s pic.
He gave me silent mod powers in exchange.

I'm still working on getting the space ghost serve pro like it never happened button.

IE a sockpuppet scumbag or a Liberal Socialist Democrat scumbag makes a post .
Pooooof!!!
I just turn it into a box with just their name on it.
And the word " Dumbazz" in place of what was posted.

👍👍👍

This

Open Range?

Joanne Dru

What, like you can't cut and paste?

Lorena "Lorie" in Lonesome Dove...

Robyn Hilton, Blazing Saddles.

Yep. Played the role well. Hot.

Kamala harris in django

Capucine

Mel Brooks looked about 65 for 50 years.

And, in The Searchers

cover UR eyes Wabi.............

Kelsey Asbille on Yellowstone, yum yum

Casey's native wife ??

nah

not me...........

hay...........

welcome to the Fire

U met Deflave yet ?

She was beautiful and very sad, she committed suicide by jumping off her balcony, tragic!

Stella

Ha, ya beat me to it! Go figure, a fellow Albertan LOL.
Raquel was quite fine in100 Rifles. Just watched it the other evening at work.
Jeff

  
Might as well get this one out of the way.

Linda Evans in The Big Valley. John Derek's practice wife before he married Bo Derek.

When I was a teenager I had a big crush on Barbara Hershey in "The Monroes".

One of my favorites, Katharine Ross was in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Julie Christie in McCabe and Mrs. Miller. Julie Christie, mmmmmmmm...


Lots of actresses played roles in Westerns but I doubt one in a hundred would actually be comfortable in a "western" kind of lifestyle.

Karen Steele in some Randolph Scott westerns.

Open Range was given points for not hiring the bimbo of the month for the leading lady. Annett Benning.

I don't know if she's been in other westerns, but IMO, she did a fine job in that movie.

Kate Capshaw in the original Quick & the Dead still makes my putter flutter.

Guess since we are talking Westerns, I was quicker on the draw is all hehehehe

Yes, 20 years. The longest running dramatic series in the history of network television.

FWIW.

L.W.

Rhonda Fleming was a babe , as was Senta Berger!

Jennifer Jones in ‘Duel in the Sun.’

Yup. Trips my trigger.

Jane Seymour, Dr Quinn Medicine Woman

Salma Hayek & Penélope Cruz in "Bandidas"

Sharon stone hands down in the quick and the dead

Yeah I'll give you that one.

Also Selma in wild wild west

Great movie with a good cast as well.

Capucine in North to Alaska.

She was heartbreakingly beautiful in Lonesome Dove.

Ok, I'll take her and Selma, Penelope is welcome

Jeanette Nolan. Fine actress and prolific.
Maureen O’Hara and many more.

Dated her clone for four years at University of Georgia and would have married her in the spot. Met one cuter and never let her go. 42 years running now.

Bonanza: Dawn Wells (Mary Ann on Gilligans Island) played an Indian woman. Holy macaroni…

Hanoi Jane can eat shatt and die. She's not worth the time to watch.

What is Katherine Ross? Chopped liver? Too many clothes? Not enough silicone?

In The Ballad if Cable Hogue

Dana Delany in Tombstone. Something about her just calls to me.

Me too.

Seconded. How she ever became an actress is beyond me.

Jew.

Any Jane Fonda fans here?

Yep! She was also in Wild Bill in the flashback scenes with Jeff Bridges.

Hard to beat Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz, though.

When I was a kiddo, I had a crush on both Linda Evans and Ann Margret.

Honorable mention for Sam Elliot’s wife, Katherine Ross !

Joanna Going in Wyatt Earp

Seems everybody has focused on "grown-up" hot leading ladies, but I gotta put in a pitch for Kim Darby as Mattie Ross in True Grit. She was great!

My wife's truck is named "Little Blackie."
Rex

Claire Trevor

tag

The newer Mattie, Hailee Steinfeld, is MUCH better, in the newer True Grit.

Yes she is ! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Annette Bening, In Open Range.

She’s old and way past her prime.

Crazy cora
Natalie wood

The grandma in josie wales😃

First to come to mind is Raquel Welch in Hannie Caulder.

Well I have not watched the new one and just can't imagine it being in the same league as the original with the Duke and Glen Campbell.
But that's two votes for the new Mattie being "better" so maybe I should watch it.
Rex

Damn ! Forgot about Natalie Wood in my all time favorite Western, The Searchers. 🤪

Definitely worth the watch. Jeff Bridges played the lead well. Only thing that sucked was that idiot Matt Damon playing the TX Ranger.

I am changing my vote.

I am watching "Support Your Local Gunfighter".

Suzanne Pleshette is absolutely gorgeous.

One nice thing about being past MY prime is that I can appreciate good looking women of all ages, not just the teeny boppers.

The Mattie actresses side by side. Darby hasn't aged as well as some face lifted actresses. It's hard to believe that Darby's 74 now. It doesn't seem like the movie's that old.

Maureen O’Hara is the best

Red River was on this AM.
Joanne Dru wasn't too bad at all.

Forgot about her. Had to look her up on Wikipedia. She was also in “She Wore A Yellow Ribbon” with JW.
Her younger brother was Game Show Host Peter Marshall. 🤪

Dolly Parton would've been good.

LOL.

Jayne Mansfield did a western or two.

She couldn't act much either. But I reckon she wasn't cast for her acting abilities.

I will have to admit Hailee Steinfeld was great in the second True Grit.

Like most of us. 😂

LOL. No doubt. 😬

Diane Lane - Lonesome Dove

Salma Hayak - Desperado

Me too!

Most likely because she was a girl in that awesome movie?

I’m not reading the whole thing, but I’m trusting no one mentioned Barbera Sandwich did they??

Madeleine Stowe in Last of the Mohicans.

Hands down.

Second would be Diane Lane as previously mentioned.

Annette Benning was awesome in open Range as well. As also previously mentioned.

Martha Hyer and Carroll Baker

Stowe is alright. Diane Lane is much better.

Salma Hayek and Sharon Stone are hard to beat. 🤠

As would be Grace Kelly

Her daughter is not near as pretty.

C’mon Man. Desperado is not a Western. Neither was Dusk till Dawn, in which Salma never looked better.

But she was in a couple of Westerns. Bandidas with Penelope Cruise and Wild Wild West. 🤠

Go watch Desperado.

Them titties will change your vote as soon as they come out.

You're welcome.

Till you see pics where she got AIDS for using them to feed fly blown orphans in Zimbabwe.

Aint nobody got time for that!

A lot of you are confusing actresses and asstresses.

I’ve watched it at least a dozen times.

I’ve actually been in that bar in Acuna where they filmed it back in College.
And that building they filmed as her book store was a big ole liquor store in Acuna when I was in College too.

WTF Gruff ? Never heard that one. 🤪

You doubt me? Google it lol.

Sierra Leone my bad lol

I’ve never doubted anything you’ve said Gruff. Just said I’d never heard that. 🤪

I guess you could call it a western.
She had 5 children from 3 husbands. Since she died at 34, she spent a lot of her time in divorce courts and maternity wards.

the Indian woman in dances with wolves had some class.


norm

I did Google it. She didn't get AIDS.



video posted to YouTube on Nov 4, 2021

"Hayek also advocates breastfeeding. During a 2009 UNICEF fact-finding trip to Sierra Leone, for instance, she breastfed a hungry week-old baby whose mother could not produce milk. She said she did it to reduce the stigma associated with breastfeeding and to encourage infant nutrition."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salma_Hayek

She was in a number of Mel Brooks' movies. Unfortunately, she died of cancer in her 50's.

Guys, does "Mask of Zorro" count as a "western"?

I think so. But I can not include a pic of Katherine Zeta from my phone.

Thinking Madeline Kahn might be the one who passed in her 50’S from cancer. Not this gal.

Some one mentioned Karen Steele so I googled her.

WOW!

WOW on the last pic! Very nice,

Funny to think that they are all dead of very old grannies now hey?

Oh, yes indeed! To think that Michael Douglas was wasting his time Romancing the Stone with Kathleen Turner when he had those one waiting at home.

Sources state Robyn Hilton is 78 years old today, and she is Idaho born. Twin Falls, actually.

That was Annette Benning in open range.
