FreeCatFights

This is the list of the 32 sex symbols of the 1950s in alphabetical order. Each will face the other in a round robin tournament. Who do you think will become the champion. You can vote from 1 to 32 as you choose. I apologize to anyone whose favorite I have left off the list. I had to settle on 32 and had to make some hard choices. I am sure there are more worthy sex symbols I left off. I can think of several I would have liked to have included. Part of my selection was based on being able to get information about the actresses and also to get enough photos to be able to make good comparisons. Half the fun for me is in creating the polls with interesting pictures that have the catfighters in similar poses. Finally I limited the choices to be 18 or over (born in 1938 or earlier) and born in 191 or later.  Thus the ages range from 18 to 35. I figured a 35 year old actress in good shape should be able to fight evenly against an 18 year old actress who didn't have as much experience.

I voted.

My 10 favorite  ::) ::)

Ursula Andress,Jane Fonda,Angie Dickinson,Barbara Eden,Honor Blackman,Kim Novak,Stella Stevens,Sophia Loren,Tina Louise and Diana Rigg !!

So this poll has meaning I am going to use the results to seed the sex symbols. Unless they have already fought, this will mean that the ones people think are the toughest will face each other near the end of the tournement  Hopefully we will have several fights of undefeateds.   >:(  :o  ???  ::)  :'(

Since this is a new rule you may go back and change your vote if you want.  :)  :-\

OK, Fandango, I will do these matchups in the next round even though some high or low seeds may be matched against each other. You took the time to list the matchups so you will be rewarded. Round 2 starts after all current fights run 2 weeks.

P.S. I like all these fights. Good show.

thanx player, i cant await this cicks fighting against.... i prefer a Marilyn vs. Bettie fight

Excellent match ups Fandango.

Do remember legendary fights between Claudia Cardinale and Brigitte Bardot in the movie Petroleum Girls from 1971 year.  ::) ::)

also thanx petelv, but we forget dream girl Debra Paget in this list, this little beauty was a hot babe in this thime and she was ready to fight
Debra Paget (Debralee Griffin) was born on Saturday, August 19, 1933 and she is a famous actress. General appearance: - 5' 2" (157 cm) height 34C-22-34 (1954 at age of 21)

Debra Paget was one of the hard choices I had to make in leaving out some out. I had trouble finding pictures from my normal sources but I see you found some nice ones. Also at 5'2" I thought she was starting to get a little on the short side compared to several who are 5'8" or so. It is true there are several who are 5'4" and Elizabeth Taylor is only 5'3". But one could not have a list of 1950s sex symbols and leave Liz off it. You could say that about Debra but there are several others I left off who deserved to be on the list. 32 contestants are enough for the tournament.

Lisa Gaye was Debra Paget's sister.. She wasn't as famous as Debra but she was 5'5" and had a natural rivalry with Joi Lanisng. So because Lisa was taller and because i didn't have as good a rivalry for Debra I ended up selecting Lisa.

However you may feature her against any of those I have listed. Also if you would like I an produce some non-tournament fights with Debra against some of those listed or some others I left off the list. That is if I can find a good source for her images.

I certainly would like suggest from others of who may have been good to have included. The only restrictions are that they were "actresses" or notable "sex symbols" and born between 1920 and 1938.  For example off the off the top of my head I can think of Grace Kelly and Deborah Kerr.

Mae West ?

I'm afraid that at 63 years old Mae was way past her fighting prime. I can't deny she still was a sex symbol in the 1950s and even upstaged Raquel Welch later on in Myra Breckenridge. She was only 5'1" tall but probably have enough heft and outright contrariness to whip women much taller than her. I made the cut off birth year at 1920 making the oldest fighters 36 at most.

once again an excellent job.  ten matchups that i would like to see from yourlist. no particular order.
1. angie dickinson v kim novak
2. barbara eden v tina louise

More good matchups but be patient. We will get to all combinations as this is a round robing tournament, not an elimination. I have decided on round 2 and am working on it now. The matchups are as perFandango's 9 matches (he said 10 but only listed 9) and the current seedings. I want to try and ensure the last few rounds match up the strongest opponents. The seedings are not locked in concrete as in most tournaments but will be adjusted bases on the overall voter preferences above and the accumulative won/lost records. An actresses seeding can improve with her won/lost record.

Round 2 will be:

Angie Dickinson	vs	Joan Collins
Marilyn Monroe	vs	Bettie Page
Elizabeth Taylor	vs	Mamie Van Doren
Jane Fonda	vs	Diana Rigg
Rita Hayworth	vs	Gina Lollobrigida
Ava Gardner	vs	Jeanne Crain
Barbara Eden	vs	Claudia Cardinale
Sophia Loren	vs	Tina Louise
Yvonne Craig	vs	Brigitte Bardot
Ursula Andress	vs	Lisa Gaye
Kim Novak	vs	Diana Dors
Anita Ekberg	vs	Esther Williams
Jane Russell	vs	Jayne Mansfield
Stella Stevens	vs	Honor Blackman
Mitzi Gaynor	vs	Martha Hyer
Rhonda Fleming	vs	Joi Lansing

As for the 60s,give me some time to get the 50s going. How abut selecting 1968 or 1969 as the year. That way I can select actresses more from 1939 thru 1949 inclusive. I will try to produce a list of possible candidates this time before selecting the final list. That way people can give their comments and also inputs to anyone I may have missed who should be considered. Be forewarned the final list will be my selections but the more ideas the better.
