Most beautiful woman in 'I, Claudius'

For me it's Vipsania ( Sheila Ruskin), first wife of Tiberius. Too bad that she has only two scenes in the whole series.

Almost 40 years on, and sometimes I still dream of Sheila White (Messalina).

And I still believe Claudius wronged her :-)

In the first episode Antonia, still young and happy (pre Claudius and the death of her husband), is being massaged and you can see she is quite long-limbed and lovely. I thought she was quite beautiful.

Had to watch the movie of "Oliver!" after seeing Sheila White here as Messalina to see her singing and dancing as Nancy's pal Bet.

Definitely Pat Quinn as Livilla. She's the reason I watched "I, Claudius" in the first place. It's a shame she has so few good roles.

Irene Hamilton (Piso's wife Plancina)

Meeting her day one and by the end of the week I would marry a women who looks like that.

I would really like to know why she stop acting after one year after the show.

Another vote for Livilla.

Messalina and Drusilla.
