Propaganda
Esther Williams (Million Dollar Mermaid, Neptune's Daughter)— America's mermaid but more importantly my grandmother's favourite (even received a signed photo back from her). She was almost an Olympian and no one was hotter or more qualified in a bathing suit.
Keiko Awaji (Stray Dog, A Japanese Tragedy, When a Woman Ascends the Stairs)— Her role as Harumi— a dancer who lives with her mom and will go to incredible lengths for one nice dress— is so fucking killer. she more than holds her own against Toshiro Mifune, the incredible sense of dread and foreboding in their scenes has really stuck with me
This is round 2 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.
[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]
Esther Williams:
She was a famous swimmer and movie star. She looked so gorgeous with those curls and that smile!
A sense of humor is very attractive so I wanted to share Esther’s appearance on What’s My Line from 1955.
They don't make real movies anymore (ie movies where your leading lady water skis up a ramp attached to a helicopter):
Anyone who can swim with their eyes open, whilst smiling, and not looking a mess deserves to be adored the world over.

Maria Schell (The Brothers Karamazov, Cimarron)— She plays Grushenka in the 1958 version of The Brothers Karamazov, driving both a father and son to near insanity due to how "wicked" and hot she is. She has a mischievous air and a disarming smile.
