Ornella Muti



I go absolutely nuts every time she's on screen... Ornella Muti was born March 9th 1955, an Italian actress born in the city of Rome as Francesca Romana Rivelli, she is in my opinion perhaps the most stunningly beautiful woman to ever live. An actress like no other she has worked for such European cinematic greats as Francesco Rosi and Volker Schlondorff during a career that has spanned almost 40 years. Although relatively un-known here in North America she is a house hold name in Europe, especially France and of course in Italy where the bulk of her work has been done. Ornella was voted "The Most Beautiful Woman in the World" in 1994 by a worldwide poll of readers of the magazine "Class" and I would have to say I completely agree. She made her UK /North American film debut in Flash Gordon which was released in 1980 and is one of my all time favourite films. The sight of her in that tight red spandex outfit is truly one of the greatest cinematic moments of all time. In her career she's done over a hundred films and continues to work steadily to this day, the most recent film being " io non ci casco" completed in 2008. In addition to her incredible acting talents she is also an accomplished jewelry designer as well, she is without a doubt the worlds most perfect female.

The images below are screen shots from the film Flash Gordon, Ornella was just as successful in modeling as she was in cinema and its easy to see why. Tall, statuesque and exotic she played the beautiful and dangerous Princess Aura daughter of Ming the Merciless.

Kristanna Loken


Kristanna Sommer Loken born October 8th 1979, she may not be the most recognizable or well known actress in history but she's definitely got that Oh so special something that keeps me coming back. I first saw her in Terminator 3 were she gives a stellar performance as T-X, the killer cyborg/robot out to destroy John Conner, since then I've been hooked. Among her impressive resume are films like BloodRayne, Lime Salted Love and most recently In The Name of the King: Dungeon Siege. These films aren't for everyone, that much is certain, but for me they are the Cats Ass. As talented as she is beautiful, I think she is one of the more underrated actress's in Hollywood. I know I'm not alone when I say I hope to see her in many more films in the years to come. She recently married Dalton Danby (son of the late world famous realist painter Ken Danby) which to tell you the truth sort of upset me cause I kinda wanted her for myself. Oh well, shit happens...
