I posted this as a result of the Maxim Magazine 100 Sexiest Women list. Let's confine are voting to women who appear in some of our favorite films. And to make things simpler, let's also confine our voting to woemn who have appeared in "Classic" b films. I've tried to include as many as possible, but let me know if you think I need to add anyone. I've also included pictures here to go along with the names. There's only 1 vote per person

Sorry for the oversight. Here ya go.
Mara Corday.
What, no Laura Gesmer? :wink:
Pam Grier would defintly top my list,followed by Barbra Steele and then....
Beverly Garland!
(http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l79/RCMerchant/beverly-garland.jpg)
Among her vast credits...
.STARK FEAR (1962)
.the ALLIGATOR PEOPLE (1959)
.NOT OF THIS EARTH (1957)
.CURUCU,BEAST OF THE AMAZON (1956)
.SWAMP WOMEN (1956)
.IT CONQUERED the WORLD (1956)
She also had her own starring TV show called DECOY which ran from 1957-1959!
She died in 2008 at the age of 82. She worked constantly until the end,and was never without work. Dam amazing.
Fay Wray gets my vote, but hot damn, Caroline Munro had a nice set of tits back in the day.
I'm an 80s child so I went with the lovely Linnea.
I chose Barbara Steele. not really sure why I just like her, and you could have gotten a better picture.

That's a great pic of Miss Steele. Most folks wouldn't recognize her without her face punched full of holes or covered in muck.
She's dam gorgeous. Very demure...like a little elf. I just wanna hug her!

Could add Brink Stevens to the list....
Hard to vote for just one!
No Elvira?
PRISCILLA LANE?

Plus, I cannot vote for just one with PAM GRIER and BARBARA STEELE both in the running!!! :buggedout:
Looks like Linnea Quigley is Queen of the Claasic b's followed by Barbara Steele and Caroline Munro. Congratulations ladies!
I didn't think I'd be able to make everyone happy so I just through what I considered a good general sampling out there. Maybe I should have just asked people to post their favorite(s) and maybe an explanation as well.
Criswell, I've never seen those pictures of Barbara Steele before and I have to say she looks fantastic there. Like RC said, i don't remember seeing her without her screaming or covered in bugs, blood, etc.
I have to go with Mara Corday, for her roles in Tarantula, The Giant Claw, and The Black Scorpion, as well as many B-Westerns and her later roles in several of Clint Eastwood's movies. Intelligent, classy lady who knew how to ham it up with the best of them. I'd love to have seen her in a movie alongside Vincent Price! Quite a looker, too.

So many to choose from but I'm so fond of Claudia Jennings. Such a shame her career was cut short.
