Propaganda

Ann Miller (On The Town, Kiss Me Kate)— Such a fun mix of humor and sensuality in her dancing! One of her best scenes is Too Darn Hot from Kiss Me Kate, and she's hilarious in On The Town.

Barbara Bates (All About Eve, The Inspector General)—she is RAVISHING in The Inspector General, definitely one of Danny Kaye’s hottest leading ladies (and that’s saying something!)

This is round 1 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.]

Barbara Bates propaganda:

"Known for her appearance at the very end of All About Eve, more memorable than her other movies. She struggled with her mental health and could not take on as many roles as she wanted to."

Ann Miller propaganda:

"Her dancing is just incredible and enthralling to watch!"

"she had this funny combination of super wholesome vibe but also really sexy that pushes and pulls through all her work—it's like MGM never really knew what to do with her, was she girl next door or coy seductress? the only thing you can tell for sure is she LOVES to tap and it's the only thing keeping her from going apeshit (in the most glamorous way possible)." anyway, a consummate hoofer, a true professional.""

"The queen of tap!!!!"

"why did no one tell me watching too darn hot when you're about nine years old is the gateway drug both for being a theatre kid and a bisexual"
