Alert regular Mark suggests:
I had a HUGE crush on co-writer and star, Vivian Schilling, a.k.a., Natalie McMillan from “Soultaker.” Also, thought Joyce Holden as Claire Erling in “Terror from the Year 5000”, and Katherine Crawford as Dr. Abby Lawrence from “Riding With Death” were both MAJOR babes!
Oh you know my answer: BATWOMAN! Who’s your pick?
MEGAWEAPON! MEGAWEAPON! MEGAWEAPON!
oh and Kathy Ireland was cute too.
Mila from Cave Dwellers.
Ingrid, I think, the one from The Crawling Hand
Beverly Garland –
Any woman that fights a giant root vegetable from space is my kinda woman. Ha-cha-cha!!
Lisa Foster a.k.a., Mila from “Cave Dwellers. I’ve always found her attractive. Same with Margaret Lee a.k.a.,Cynthia Fulton in “Secret Agent Super Dragon.”
Gregg Thomsen (Zach) from Soultaker – he was quite attractive, and his hair was glorious. Ditto for Miles O’Keeffe as Ator; lovely pecs, beautiful locks.
I’d also include Hugh Beaumont. He provided a nice focus in Mole People; not only was he easy on the eye, but he always gave a sense of dignity and decency. I like that in a man.
Caroline Munro of Starcrash and At the Earth’s Core.
Allison Hayes and Mara Corday. But Beverly Garland’s personality in “Gunslinger” is pretty fetching as well. She probably played the most heroic person of any gender TWICE (It Conquered and Gunslinger.)
…in any MST3K film I meant to finish.
Inga from ‘Viking Women And The Sea Serpent’. I like goth girls.
Persis Khambatta
You can laugh all you want (believe me, I do) but I found Ben Murphy very handsome in “Riding with Death” and other 1970s shows. Even if he had that self-aware smugness about him. I remember my sister and I swooning over “Alias Smith and Jones” at the time, and we always diplomatically shared our celebrity crushes, me going with Murphy and she with the tragically fated Pete Duel. What’s almost as good is that now I’m, um, much older, Ben Murphy still looks good. Must be all that tennis.
There are a lot, to be sure — Adriana Miles (Werewolf) & Mamie Van Doren (Girls Town, Untamed Youth) come to mind — but my top choice is indubitably Allison Hayes.
She was in four MSTed movies, but the standout is how devastatingly gorgeous she looked as Liva in “that dress” in The Undead.
My God……I COMPLETELY forgot about Allison Hayes as Livia the Witch in “The Undead” (1957), as you said, in “that dress”….zippers, or NO zippers !!
How is that even possible ??
My choice is Iole / Sylva Koscina from the original Hercules flicks.
Ann-Margaret from Kitten With a Whip. Major babe. Also most of the Angels, Allison Hayes and the Swamp Diamonds crew.
Mamie Frickin’ Van Doren! I mean, geez.
I’m a guy, and even I remember thinking, “Damn, that kid (“Zach Taylor”) has a nice head of hair…”!!
But Hugh Beaumont……..easy on the eyes……hmmm. Don’t know if I ever thought of “Beaver Cleaver’s” dad as easy on the eyes.
Uh…..though now that I think of it, that’s probably a good thing !! ;-)
I’m going with Mary Beth Hughes in I Accuse My Parents
Also Catherine Schell from Cosmic Princess and Moon Zero Two.
Iole–if she can melt Crow’s fillings, imagine what she does to me! I also confess to feeling a certain something for Judy in A Young Man’s Fancy, although what chance would I have if it’s Alexander Phipps that makes her feel squishy? If we’re talking actual grown-up women who I would actually want to spend some time with, though, it’s a tie between Beverly Garland in Gunslinger and Peggy Castle in The Beginning of the End.
There are so many beautiful actresses in these horrid movies, but my faves are:
Catherine Schell from Moon Zero Two
Mary Beth Hughes from I Accuse My Parents and Last of the Wild Horses
The slave girl from Outlaw
Allison Hayes from numerous episodes
Lucille from Danger!! Death Ray
Other greats include Beverly Garland (duh), the pizza dominatrix, scarface lady from The Brain That Wouldn’t Die, Mamie Van Doren (duh), Iole from Hercules Unchained, the blind girl from Human Duplicators, the wife from Manos, the joker(?) from Secret Agent Super Dragon, and Ava from Agent For HARM.
During my review, I noticed that the actress who played the princess in Deathstalker is now the US Ambassador to Denmark. Weird.
There are several- and, if I can get the ambition, I will post. For now, Sydne Rome as Jane in Puma Man is a crush. She is at the peak of her hotness in several scenes of the film. I’ll take S & M days at the field museum with her eight days a week.
Emby Mellay, she’s a bad scrabble hand and cute in a floppy Rhoda sorta way.
Where do I start?
Alison Hayes has always been the one that gets my heart starting
But also……….
Yvette Vickers in Attack of the Giant Leaches
Patricia Pearcy in Squirm.
Melissa Prophet in Being from Another Planet.
Paige Sullivan in Hobgoblins.(pre-slut Paige).
Anna-Lisa in 12 to the Moon.
June Kenney in all her Mst appearances. (She had the cutest pouty lips)
And finally, the tassled-footed hooker in Girl in Lovers Lane.
What can I say? I fall hard and easily.
I had to look that one up to see for myself. I hope she isn’t as whiny in real life as in Deathstalker.
I have to admit my eternal crush on Kathy Ireland – those green eyes are amazing! Allison Hayes and Caroline Munro are incredibly beautiful too. However, as far as an actual character, I’d have to go with Apollonia James from Overdrawn… She’s attractive in a nerdy way.
“However, as far as an actual character, I’d have to go with Apollonia James from Overdrawn… She’s attractive in a nerdy way.”
(Said, in the voice of a Japanese child, overdubbed by an English-speaking actor) I like that very much…

Jan In The Pan –
If you go for the cerebral type it’s hard to beat Jan. And that lack-of-throaty voice. Rowwwr!
Janet Munro (Anne in The Crawling Eye). The poor girl died at 38, but damn, she was cute.
And definitely Sylva Cosca from the Hercules movies.
This may be a cheat, but Carol Cleveland from Moon Zero Two. She’s barely in it, but I adore her from Monty Python :)
And another vote for Alison Hayes. She was great in everything.
Yeah, that’s it………weird.
Under any other conditions–say, “Viva Las Vegas”–I would find Ann-Margret rowr-rowwrr (to borrow the Pepe LePew-ism), although perhaps not in her psycho-kicks “Kitten With a Whip” character.
And I’ll second the vote for Catherine Schell, although my late-70’s TV childhood had more a thing for her KTMA “Cosmic Princess” alien than her Euro-sexy “Moon Zero Two” look…Not that that was bad either, mind.
(And I dimly trying to rent the unKTMA’ed “Humanoid Woman” on VHS just for Yelena Metyolkina’s sexy-Sinead clone look on the cover. Yeah, she’s the kind of girl you’d sit through static impenetrable Russian sci-fi for.) :)
Caroline Munro makes Kathy Ireland look like the squeaky mouse she sounded like in Alien From LA.
Yes, definitely in my top picks.
As a SF geek in my early teens in the late 70s, I, too, was more than a little smitten with Ms. Schell’s role as “Cosmic Princess” Maya in Space: 1999. ;)
Since someone already picked Allison Hayes and Mara Corday, I would go with Janet Munro from The Crawling Eye.
I was somewhat obsessed with June Kenney for a long while, so cute yet stolid. Really though I can find every MST actress attractive if I’m watching an episode, I’m easy.
Michael Sopkiw of “Devil Fish,” and Tetsuya Ushio (Godo from “Time of the Apes”).
Where to begin?
Deeja and Nyla from Robot Holocaust.
Wanda from Alien from LA.
Kako from Angels Revenge.
Talena from Outlaw. (Even hotter in the first movie, simply called Gor.)
Thena from Quest of the Delta Knights.
Jayne Mansfield from The Loves of Hercules.
Honorable mention, since she’s not from a MSTed movie: Kinga Forrester.
Agree on everyone- but, I may be the first to mention perhaps the hottest of them all- Leslie McCrae as Michele Casey.
Barbara Bouchet from Agent for HARM.
“There are times when I like this movie.”
-Crow T Robot
“Also, thought Joyce Holden as Claire Erling in “Terror from the Year 5000”,
Wow. Someone else digs 100% scrawny spinster Claire. She was probably pretty fun. She did a makeout scene. A couple of undressing scenes and paraded around in a bathing suit a couple times all in a movie made in 1958.
Sharon Acker who played Dr. Bettina Cooke in Stranded in Space.
Wham bam Lakopolous’ bikini clad friend and that one girl in the white one piece swimsuit from Catalina Caper.
Huh? I’m the first to mention Serene Hedin aka Tanya from Boggy Creek? Yes, these river bottoms.
Joe Don’s Maltese police woman helper. I don’t think that’s her name.
Wanda Cannon!
My biggest MST crush has got to be Lynn Frederick as Kendra Eldridge in Phase 4. She’s sweet, demure, kind, caring, soft spoken and light stepped, but principled and willing to not just take action but self sacrifice. And yes, she’s hot like a nature spirit that stepped out of a Pre-Raphaelite painting and put on a pair of jeans.
Another nice girl I find attractive is Betty from Teenagers from Outer Space for many of the same reasons. Nice, demure, and pretty. What more do you want?
One more attractive lady is Hestia from Fire Maidens of Outer Space. With the rare exception of Steffi the baby sitter from A Touch of Satan I’m really not in to mean girls.
That’s my problem, too. I want to second everybody else’s choices.
Ahh, yes, Tanya is a maaaan’s kinda woman! I’ve always thought Leslie is nicer-looking, though. (Just wish she didn’t complain so much, though there’s a lot to complain about on that expedition . . . )
Any votes for Racket Girls out there? (“We’re being turned on by a woman who’s long dead!”–Crow T. Robot)
it -would- have taken my fellow CJ to finally mention the pretty brun from “teenagers from outer space”… someone earlier mentioned “gothy cuties” but failed to mention her. c’mon, just that intense stare she had while in the car (unfortunately blocked by the rear-view mirror ;0)… given another few decades, she woulda been just dying to dress up in a latex pill-dress and go out to a “placebo” concert, i swear. (and i woulda’ve loved to take her… ;)
this is a dangerously hetero-male-centric thread; it does tend to bring out the unfortunately ogre-ish “i’d do her” side of our personalities on display. buuuut, so be it… (let’s see if the irritating “usual suspects” have anything to say in this one, lol! ;)
New Cornjob: “this is a dangerously hetero-male-centric thread; it does tend to bring out the unfortunately ogre-ish “i’d do her” side of our personalities on display.”
I noticed a few women and/or gay men chipping in here and I for one, welcome their contributions.
I had some of the same concerns as you that this might be a “creeper” thread. So I limited myself to a few women that hit me on all levels, not just eye candy. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than me listing all the “Damn! That ass!” moments from the show.
I also edited out a few candidates that might make me look like a psycho…(cough) did it for the kicks (cough)
Lots of excellent choices already, but such a list would be incomplete without Beez McKeever and Bridget Jones Nelson!
I know I stand alone on this one but I always found Georgina Carter from “Night of the Bloodbeast” attractive; bad perm and all.
NOPE! I DEFINITELY get it. Cute as a bug’s ear, that one…..even with the under-cupping !!
Jessica (Carolyn Kearney) from The Thing That Couldn’t Die. But maybe she is my current crush only because she was in the movie I watched last.
Oh, Jessica . . . Especially when she’s “evil Jessica”, dressed all in black.
Oh, Georgina . . . She was the one bright, shining light in that movie. My heart skipped a beat whenever she appeared on-screen, even though her character is kind of like the fifth wheel on a horse (. . . wait, that’s not right)–you could put all of the dialogue written for her on a postage stamp.
How could I possibly have forgotten Lieut. Lamont of Space Mutiny? Gorgeous, but also the most modestly dressed woman in the cast, and the only crew member who actually works to keep the ship afloat and isn’t a live cartoon character. To say nothing of her amazing regenerative abilities . . .
Okay, so this is my third post on this WDT. I can see that I am a very lonely man who needs to get out more.
Jackie Moore from Atlantic Rim. She is really beautiful. The only reason I can tolerate the film (save for a lot of good riffing).
