Hummm....Let me see. It is hard to say what is sexy in a woman since I'm female, too. Let me begin at the beginning of the woman sexuality on screen. Also, let me say that all of these women were beautiful and everyone loved them.
Jane Russell in the "Outlaw" was just superb. We watched that movie when we were nine or ten. That's how effective the scene was when she was raped although, we really didn't know what was going on other than the guy was getting some forceful kisses. She was, and probably still is, one of the sexiest women ever to hit the screen.
Dorothy Lamour in her famous sarongs. She was beautiful and just the girl needed for Bing and Bob in their "Road to...." movies.
Marilyn Monroe. What can I say that hasn't already been said about this wonderful woman. Of course, she was sexy, beautiful, childish, flawless, and had an affair with the president. Lucky him. Catching Marilyn singing "Happy Birthday" to the president made my day. Marilyn did a bang up acting job with Don Murray in "Bus Stop". I feel in my heart that she was smart, having married Arthur Miller. It was a shame that she died such a young death.
Jennifer Jones is another sexy actress, in my opinion. In the movie "Duel in the Sun" there is a scene she does with Gregory Peck. He comes to her room one night and has his way with her. She did not want it to happen, but, the electricity between them was overwhelming and sooner or later, it was bound to happen. She is another beautiful woman and a great actress.
Catherine Zeta-Jones has what every woman wished they had. At least, that's what I think. She is a fine actress and Michael Douglas is a lucky man, having her as the mother of his children and his wife. Well, he is a few years older than her.
Angelina Jolie is sexy with or without makeup. She plays a fine role in "Girl Interrupted" and is the epitome of femininity. Marrying Brad Pitt accentuates her sexiness as they are both goodlooking and make an unusual couple.
Rita Hayworth, the lady with the long red hair. How could we ever forget her? She was beautiful,a fine actress and kept the boys fighting so they could find their way back home to her during World War II. A good actress in "Gilda" in which she starred opposite Glenn Ford.
Jayne Mansfield, another blond bombshell. She was a beautiful creature and the one movie she is best remembered in is "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?" with Tony Randall. She was another actress whose life ended too soon in an automobile accident.
Betty Grable, the girl with the million dollar legs. She also, kept the boys going with her photo in a swim suit, with her back to the camera facing over her shoulder. She starred in quite a few musicals and was a wonderful dancer. She was married to the late, great Harry James.
That concludes my list and as you can see, most are the old timers' choices, which is me. But, I loved every one of these women.
