#9 Ahhh, Anita, there are just no hotties like the ones from my youth.
I was discussing this recently with a young co-worker who averred that Meg Ryan was hotter than Sophia Loren in her prime. I just shook my head in pity at this blasphemous ignorance. To such a level have the decades of metrosexual indoctrination brought our once virile American youth.

A fellow old-timer then argued that Gina Lollobrigida was hotter than Sophia. While certainly a more reasonable candidate than the boyish Ryan person, this, too, did not sit well with me. I simply responded that there was no such thing as hotter than Sophia Loren. She is the standard, the universal constant, the cosmic limit, something like the speed of light.

#10 AC - Sophia was smokin hot in her prime. As a youngster (but a fan of older film) I have always been partial to Claudia Cardinale - especially from "once upon a time in the west." Way strong. A young Ann Margaret was pretty strong to imho.

#11 My vote Gina was indeed hotter than Sophia,
But Jane Russel, yeowza !

Or concealing their own gayness by preferring skinny women who look like teenage boys with implants. :)

#14 Towards the end, Anita discovered doughnuts.
It wasn't pretty...

Your friend is a weak reed. Sophia Loren has a force-field that extends to 150 ft and 500 ft. on Sunday. You may trust me on this. She winked at me once.
Srsly.
J. Woodward has the same deal going but was cursed with being non-Italian.

#16 And Sophia is still hot. Even at almost 74. Sadly, Anita, today, not so much.

#17 can't forget the original pinup girl Betty Page either....I concur - too many rail thin anorexic women running around. There's a few curvy ones (by today's hollywood standards) that come to mind, i.e. scarlet johanson, salma hayek & kate winslet. Meg Ryan's cute in a spritely kind of way but is no hottie on par w/Sophia in her heyday.

(bwt- raquel welch was smokin' hot in that B.C. movie)

#19 SPECTRE's Bulgarian assassin climbed out of Anita's (wall billboard) mouth in From Russia with Love?

Kerim Bey: She has a lovely mouth, that Anita.
Bond: Yes. I see what you mean.
Kerim Bey: Arm or no arm, I have to pull that trigger.
Bond: If you think you can.
You've got one shot, remember.
Kerim Bey: It'll have to do.
Bond: Quick, he's coming.
Quick!
Kerim Bey: That pays many debts.
Bond: She should have kept her mouth shut.

Amen

#20 Correction: It was SMERSH's Bulgarian Assassin, but Anita should still have kept her mouth shut.

#21 Sophia Loren sent the epitome of savoir-faire, Cary Grant, "round the bend." Any woman who could make Cary Grant do crazy things...yeah, that's some kind of industrial-strength force field. Anita in her day was pretty spectacular also.
