Is the 80s considered history yet? It was 32 years ago after all.

6 pages and no Lupita Tovar? She was the BEST Mina from Dracula. So damned pretty and sweet. Even her descendants are still in the movie biz. I believe they are to be blamed/credited for the American Pie films. Seriously. Watch the Spanish language Universal Dracula from the early 30s and try to not adore her. Hell, the whole cast is amazing. Their Drac isn't quite as iconic as Lugosi but he is still great. Plus her interview on the Dracula Anniversary DVD was just great. An utterly charming woman to this day. And apparently still alive according to Wikipedia where I got the picture from. (Uploaded to Imgur.) And even more upsetting (unless I have missed it of course) NO HEADY LAMARR?  Not only was she gorgeous as hell, but she helped develop communications technology we use today!

And every time I look at pictures of Lord Alfred Douglas I think "y'know, young Jude Law was such good casting that really he was an improvement over the original." Yeah, sure, he's a historical hottie:   But he tends to put on this weird vacant face for photographs.

attackofthequasars posted:As far as hotties go, Greece had got it going from early on... My first avatar here was of the Minoan Snake goddess. One Christmas, a goon wrapped her in christmas lights and animated it. It was *amazing*. In my first apartment in Greece, it was a tiny furnished studio. There was a MASSIVE painting of Kolokotronis directly across from my bed. I literally went to bed every night seeing his face. hehe. I think Perikles is highly overrated (I'm a Themistokles gal), but I'll concede, the dude had it going on.

That avatar would be brilliant!  And I agree, Perikles was one hot dude.I have to admit though, that my love for potatoes has made me a Kapodistrias fangirl.  Greeks didn't much like the idea that the should suddenly have to cultivate potatoes because they had no idea what they were. Government officials were giving them away but people in the villages didn't want to have anything to do with it. Then Kapodistrias supposedly ordered his officials to put all potatoes in silos and made it illegal for anyone to go in and take any. So obviously Greeks did. And that's our little story of how we got the potatoes. Potatoes are neat. I like them.

 Jean Jacques Rousseau Extremely liberal French philosopher AND total babe. Apparently he had a bunch of kids of out wedlock, it's easy to see how that happened. Pretty sure he married her eventually though. Also, he could cook! What's not to like?

Silent movie actress Colleen Moore who, naturally, didn't have much of a career after talking pictures but was apparently a pretty smart investor such that she was basically set for the rest of her life even without her movie career.

 Amelia Earhart's been posted a few times, but Jackie Cochran was the first woman to break the sound barrier.  I did a project on her in the 2nd grade, which just was the root of my deep love for tomboys. She founded WASP (Women Airforce Service Pilots). Those women would transport the planes to war zones.  I would cuddle with all those ladies. The WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service) in WWII had some real cuties, too.  Janet Harmon Bragg was a nurse and the first black commercial pilot. Jacqueline Cochran rejected her from the WASP program because she was black. So she just helped build a hangar and buy a plane. Like you do.

Growing up around the aerobatics community when I was really little, I learned from a very young age that beautiful women and high performance aircraft go hand in hand. Take for example the inventor of that death defying inverted ribbon cut maneuver you see at airshows, Miss Betty Skelton.  Here she is posing with her custom 1948 Pitts Special Lil' Stinker, now hanging upside down in the Smithsonian.    She was also asked by NASA to be the only woman to go through the same physical and psychological evaluations as the seven Mercury astronauts. They called her 7 1/2   Oh yeah, and here she is jumping a huge proto-waverunner over a car.  FFFFFFFUUUUUUUCK YEAH!

This magazine cover seems like the ultimate troll bait. "Should a girl be first in space?" I can imagine the fine male readers of LOOK clutching the magazine in anger and disbelief, feverishly penning a letter to the editors - "The fact that you even suggest such lunacy is why I am cancelling my subscription this very instant!"

I can imagine the fine male readers of LOOK clutching the magazine in anger and disbelief, feverishly penning a letter to the editors - "The fact that you even suggest such lunacy is why I am cancelling my subscription this very instant!" I read somewhere that in the early days of rocketry there were some who advocated training women instead of men as astronauts because on average women candidates were smaller and lighter than their male counterparts, which made it easier to design space capsules (the less the astronaut weighs, the more weight can go into the capsule itself). Of course, developments in rocketry had made this concern irrelevant by the time of the Mercury program. For content, this is Prince Louis of Battenberg, First Sea Lord of the Royal Navy at the outbreak of the First World War, who was ultimately forced to resign because he was, quite literally, a German nobleman (actually he was a British citizen and had been for many years, but the tabloids hounded him anyway because that's what tabloids do). He was also a damned handsome man. Seen here with and without fancy-rear end beard. The two pounds of imperial bling on his uniform add to the effect.    His son, Lord Louis Mountbatten, was no ugly duckling either.

Being a shameless sucker for historical fiction, I love Pat Barker's Regeneration novels. Psychiatrist and ethnologist W.H.R. Rivers shows up as a highly sympathetic figure--and it turns out he was pretty cute as a youngster: He kind of gave into the silly moustache thing, though:

His picture as a young man reminds me of another fictionalized historical figure that generations have had a crush on:  Almanzo Wilder (of the Little House on the Prairie books, if you've never read them)Here is a picture of the moustachioed men in Laura Ingalls Wilder's life: (middle-aged Almanzo is at letter O [looking like McManus on OZ] and old-aged Almanzo is at letter H): source: here. The brave and dashing Cap Garland is at letter F. "A kiss without a mustache is like an egg without salt." Uhhh...good thing times have changed, yikes.

Not a huge fan of monarchism but Princess Margaret was quite the looker. And many plebeian women in the British Commonwealth were named after her and her more famous sister during the mid 20th century.
