SMG is by far the prettiest and the classiest of all the women listed.

MySerenity | August 31, 02:48 CET

Yeah, I guess. I just never found SMG sexy or anything. But definitely pretty, beautiful, blahblahblah.

Christopher | August 31, 03:11 CET

Sorry, but that list is just silly. Where's Farrah? Heather Locklear? Barbara Eden? Elizabeth Montgomery? Eva Longoria has been on TV for one year and she's the sexiest woman of all time? Come on....

I think people forgot there was TV before 1990.

I agree, kdavid323, although I suppose we should reserve judgment until we see the complete list. But my own Top Ten would certainly make room for Farrah, as well as Lindsay Wagner, Lynda Carter, Diana Rigg, and Joanna Lumley, to name but a few. I'm guessing the poll was conducted exclusively amongst 8-18 year olds. It's totally one of my pet peeves to see a poll or list that is described as a "best of all time" that is in no way, shape or form representative.

Christopher, this has to be the ultimate YMMV question, but, suffice it to say, she floats my boat. :)

Ah....Diana Rigg. Now she was a class act. Still is!

Nice choices, SNT..

kdavid323 | August 31, 03:36 CET

I'd also have to add Julie Newmar and Jaclyn Smith to the list.

Emma Frost | August 31, 03:41 CET

Cheryl Ladd, Victoria Principal, Anne Francis (from the late, lamented and forgotten "Honey West", and Charisma Carpenter, who not only floats my boat; she keeps my deckhands abreast and opens my sea cock.

Another vote for the amazing Ms. Rigg. A great actress who had no problem pulling of the skintight cat suit thing. And why are we all forgetting, I ask, about our own Ms. Hannigan? I mean, how many actresses could make an eskimo suit sexy?

bobster | August 31, 04:00 CET

All the main women in BtVS and AtS are sexy.

Koos | August 31, 04:16 CET

I've never thought of SMG as sexy. Attractive yes, sexy nope. Charisma Carpenter, Alyson Hannigan and Emma Caulfield are. Diana Rigg, Lucy Lawless, Hudson Leick.

Oh and I'm a straight woman so it's not like I fancy them, but I can still tell sexy when I see it.

lynnie | August 31, 04:48 CET

I suspect not all that many people here will know who I am talking about, but back in the distant days of my youth Katie Manning definitely did it for me.

As for SMG, well, all I can say is, "Smart chicks are so sexy!"

alien lanes | August 31, 06:13 CET

I'm pretty sure we can all agree that sexiness is subjective, yeah?

Gillian Anderson when she was healthy.

electricspacegirl | August 31, 09:37 CET

Eva Longoria ? ugh. she's got chicken legs. i can't think of SMG as sexy either, but only because i'm old enough to be her mom and have always thought her mom must just adore her, and i would too if she were my kid.

Julie Newmar has my vote as the sexiest tv actress, ever.

t r a c y | August 31, 09:56 CET

Sexiest TV actress ever? Zoe Lucker! Most definetely! Not only was she beautiful, but Tanya Turner was always so manipulative, devastingly evil, bitchy, snide, sarcastic and ambitious. Which are all traits I love in women.

And on the debate of SMG being sexy, whilst in "Buffy" I didn't particuarly find her sexy, but 'Cruel Intentions'....ye gods! Now THAT was sexy with a capital S. Mainly because SMG was manipulative, devastingly evil, bitchy, snide, sarcastic and ambitious.

Kill me now.

Apocalypse | August 31, 14:56 CET

It will be interesting to see the full top 100 list.

I also enjoyed the news bite on the side that actor Brain Cox will be joining the cast of 'Deadwood' next season.

Madhatter | August 31, 15:01 CET

For me SMG's the sexiest woman in Buffyverse, but I've never found Charisma sexy.So,I guess, I'm a straight woman who can't tell sexy when she sees it.
