I think Mara Corday is smoking hot!


Am I the only one who thinks that Mara Corday, in her prime, is one of the sexiest actresses ever? Maybe not the most beautiful, but there is something so sexy about her, it makes me regret that I was born the same year this was made. Ah, cruel fate!

No you're not. Just saw the Giant Claw for the first time and was knocked out by her. Why didn't she go on to better things is a mystery.

There is a reason she was a Playboy model.

She kind of looks like Gina Gershon.

She kind of looks like Gina Gershon.

Yes! I was just looking atr her in "The Giant Claw" trailer and thought she looked like somebody familiar. She definitely resembles Gina.

No blah, blah, blah!

My thoughts exactly. She has a lot of Gina Gershon going on.

She has a very subtle and irresistible sensuality.

She was quite lovely.

She was mighty fine! There were quite a few of those healthy looking, dark haired beauties floating around the Sci-Fi movies in the fifties. If I had more ambition, I'd make a list but a few spring to mind right away like Julie Adams, ( Creature from the Black Lagoon ) Margaret Sheridan ( The Thing ) Faith Domergue, ( This Island Earth ) Joan Weldon, a particular favorite of mine, BTW, from Them. The list goes on. They don't make them like that anymore!!!!!

Another one to add to your list -- Joan Taylor -- 20 Million Miles to Earth.

Dana Wynter in Invasion of the Body Snatchers gets my vote!

I read somewhere that she is long time friend of Clint Eastwood. She has cameos in some of his films in her later career.
