Professional Bimbo Actresses

[Mofo Rising]

This is a thread obviously dedicated to actresses who play the bimbo in every movie.  No fair picking actresses who only star in softcore porn movies of the Cinemax variety.  That's too easy.  Pick actresses who star in at least somewhat mainstream movies or, this being the board it is, never showed up in any other movies than bad ones as a bimbo.

This thread was inspired because INNERSPACE is on tv, and it has Wendy Schaal, who played the bimbo clerk in the grocery store.  She also played the bimbo wife in THE 'BURBS.

But I would say the queen of all bimbo actresses has got to be Jennifer Tilly, who not only plays the bimbo onscreen, she also seems to play the bimbo in real life.  Not that I know anything about the lady, but I can't think of a single movie where, if not a bimbo, she is at least bimbo-ish.

Not that I'm knocking the bimbo angle.  I'm sure it's lucrative.

Barbara Nichols, dumb blonde of the 50s and 60s. In Sweet Smell of Success she plays Tony Curtis' girlfriend. If I remember right, he forces her to pretend to be a hooker and it turns out she may have been at one time. She's also in Where the Boys Are and Human Duplicators.

She was also in a great episode of Twilight Zone where she kept dreaming of plane crashes. She also was in the Batman with Art Carney as the Archer.

Adrienne Barbeau immediatly comes to my mind.

The female cast members of Fred Olen Ray's stock company would qualify. Michelle Bauer and Linnea Quigley for example.

Just remembered, 80s minor celebs, Judy and Audrey Landers. Mostly Judy though.

She wasn't a bimbo in Creature.

In my defense, I haven't seen any other Wendy Schaal movies.

Jennifer Coolidge? Yeah, I'd say she qualifies from what I've seen of her movies. Checking IMDB, she's even credited in the remake of "Bucket of Blood" with the role "Stupid Girl".
