Hotties who were dead before you were born.

<p>Henry VIII was supposedly a hottie in his younger years. Unfortunately, he had issues in his later life with diabetes, etc. As a stripped down substitute I’ll take Jonathan Rhys Meyers any day. Although I suspect in real life he’s a little too short for me.</p>

<p>There are many things I find attractive about Winston Churchill but his looks are not one of them. Now Tony Blair on the other hand…ummm.</p>

<p>Helen Keller was kinda hot: [Google</a> Image Result for <a href=“http://www.picture-wisdom.com/Veronica/Images/Helen-Keller.jpg[/url]”>http://www.picture-wisdom.com/Veronica/Images/Helen-Keller.jpg](<a href=“http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.picture-wisdom.com/Veronica/Images/Helen-Keller.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.picture-wisdom.com/Veronica/Helen-Keller.htm&usg=__g1gP0TzFiOkdmrft917Mk4G3Zhc=&h=617&w=432&sz=57&hl=en&start=64&um=1&tbnid=8XBj3iqdq-kS2M:&tbnh=136&tbnw=95&prev=/images%3Fq%3DHelen%2Bkeller%26ndsp%3D21%26hl%3Den%26rls%3Dcom.microsoft:en-US%26rlz%3D1I7GGLL_en%26sa%3DN%26start%3D63%26um%3D1]Google”>http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.picture-wisdom.com/Veronica/Images/Helen-Keller.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.picture-wisdom.com/Veronica/Helen-Keller.htm&usg=__g1gP0TzFiOkdmrft917Mk4G3Zhc=&h=617&w=432&sz=57&hl=en&start=64&um=1&tbnid=8XBj3iqdq-kS2M:&tbnh=136&tbnw=95&prev=/images%3Fq%3DHelen%2Bkeller%26ndsp%3D21%26hl%3Den%26rls%3Dcom.microsoft:en-US%26rlz%3D1I7GGLL_en%26sa%3DN%26start%3D63%26um%3D1)</a></p>

<p>Edith Piaf (French singer perhaps best known for the rice dish named after her): <a href=“http://leafandlime.hobix.com/pic/Edith_Piaf.jpg[/url]”>http://leafandlime.hobix.com/pic/Edith_Piaf.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>French writer/performer Colette was a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen: <a href=“http://soonlee.files.■■■■■■■■■■■■■/2007/05/sidonie-gabrielle-colette-2.jpg[/url]”>http://soonlee.files.■■■■■■■■■■■■■/2007/05/sidonie-gabrielle-colette-2.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>As opposed to President Clinton, Churchill was famous for actually SMOKING his cigars.</p>

<p>“women used to throw flowers and sometimes themselves at the stage when Franz Liszt, Paganini, and (more recently) Rudolph Valentino performed.”
Which evolved into women throwing their hotel keys and underwear at Vegas lizards like Tom Jones. [shakes head]</p>

<p>(just kidding about the rice dish)</p>

<p>I think the young Virginia Woolf was attractive:</p>

<p><a href=“http://mural.uv.es/paluse/Virginia%20Woolf.jpg[/url]”>http://mural.uv.es/paluse/Virginia%20Woolf.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>But I’m not sure I’d call her “hot.” To me the term hot has been polluted by the likes of Paris Hilton to mean a shallow sort of blatant sexiness rather than a woman who possesses a fine mind, a beautiful face, and a graceful body.</p>

24

<p>I don’t know–the young Winston Churchill was pretty dashing.</p>

<p>We were asked on our freshman roommate forms at Rice “If you could have a torrid affair with any person in history, living or dead, who would it be, and why?” I said I would have an affair with Beethoven, because he was a fiery, passionate, brooding genius composer. Who wouldn’t want that?</p>

<p>(They read these aloud shortly before we all graduated at our Senior Dinner… They’d read the question and answer first, then they’d reveal who wrote it. They read my question and answer, everybody looked at me, wordlessly bewildered, and then we all SCREAMED with laughter-- the young man that I’d dated all four years at college was a feisty Irish-Catholic composer… We’re married now. :wink: )</p>

<p>So, mine was Beethoven, but it’s been pointed out that I’m kind of generally hot for composers. =)</p>

<p>(I’m also cheating by a couple of years.)</p>

<p>I was watching “It Happened One Night” and D came into the room. She sat down and watched for a minute or two.</p>

<p>D: Who’s that?
Me: Clark Gable. The handsomest man who ever walked the earth.
[Short pause]<br>
D: You might be right.</p>

<p>LasMa, read the second paragraph here: [Carole</a> Lombard: The Glamour Collection | DVD Review | Slant Magazine](<a href=“Video Archives - Slant Magazine”>Video Archives - Slant Magazine) . It should calm you down a little bit.</p>

<p>Was there a man as debonair as Cary Grant?</p>

<p>I have to say- Rock Hudson- although he died after I was born. </p>

<p>I thought Errol Flynn made the pirate thing romantic long before Johnny Depp…</p>

<p>Mata Hari… [Google</a> Image Result for <a href=“http://www.mata-hari.com/images/mata-hari.com-1911.jpg[/url]”>http://www.mata-hari.com/images/mata-hari.com-1911.jpg](<a href=“http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.mata-hari.com/images/mata-hari.com-1911.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.mata-hari.com/mata-hari-pictures.html&usg=__L8RM7LlJ9_d1BL_uAZTCgpd4cR8=&h=768&w=470&sz=73&hl=en&start=2&um=1&tbnid=MptvTxz_-xS7PM:&tbnh=142&tbnw=87&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dmata%2Bhari%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26rls%3Dcom.microsoft:en-US%26rlz%3D1I7GGLL_en%26sa%3DN%26um%3D1]Google”>http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.mata-hari.com/images/mata-hari.com-1911.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.mata-hari.com/mata-hari-pictures.html&usg=__L8RM7LlJ9_d1BL_uAZTCgpd4cR8=&h=768&w=470&sz=73&hl=en&start=2&um=1&tbnid=MptvTxz_-xS7PM:&tbnh=142&tbnw=87&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dmata%2Bhari%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26rls%3Dcom.microsoft:en-US%26rlz%3D1I7GGLL_en%26sa%3DN%26um%3D1)</a></p>

32

<p>Virginia Woolf or Dolley Madison
Mata-Hari or Helen Keller
Jackie O or Einstein’s first wife
Edith Piaf or Amelia Earhart</p>

<p>What up with the women (?) who have a choice of any guys in history, and they pick gay guys (Rock Hudson, James Dean, Tyrone Power)?</p>

33

<p>Louise Brooks</p>

<p>google her and google images for her. She was something for everyone.</p>

34

<br>

<br>

<p>Well, you picked Amelia Earhart, and there have been a lot of rumors about her over the decades.</p>

35

<p>If mythology counts, Helen of Troy must have been something pretty special.</p>

36

<p>I didn’t know James Dean and Tyrone Power were gay.</p>

37

<p>

</p>

<p>Rice Piaf anyone? Isn’t this a case of a missing “ell?” And I think that Coureur’s Nefertiti wins this competition by a nose. :)</p>

38

<p>So it’s Edith Pilaf, then? :D</p>

39

<p>Humphrey Bogart - and I even followed the rules!</p>
