Introduction
You can keep your Paris Econolodge and Lick-me Lohan. Here are some real great dames. Feel free to suggest others in the comments.
There are a lot of great images of current and past celebrities at http://venus.provocateuse.com/. It's well-organized and warns you if images might be "risqué" in their terms.

Uma Thurman

Say it with me: Uuuuuuuumaaaaaa. Ever since she rose from the sea on that oyster shell in The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, she's been my ideal.

Kim Novak

Go rent Pal Joey. You'll probably have to get it from Netflix or the library. Watch Kim sing "My Funny Valentine". Melt. Swoon. Die. That is the sexiest scene in any movie ever. I dare you to argue with me.

Vera-Ellen

She glowed in everything she did, but she was at her best when paired with Danny Kaye in White Christmas.
5
Betty Garrett

Her best role was as the scheming younger sister in Neptune's Daughter, singing "Baby It's Cold Outside " with Red Skelton.

Anne Hathaway

Unlike many of her contemporaries, Anne knows what decorum is. Also, my friend Gary would never forgive me if I didn't include her.

Anna Netrebko

I was just clued in to this lovely operatic soprano. The first link above is to a video of her singing a duet from Don Giovanni. The second is her personal website.

Rita Moreno

George Carlin once referred to "The Church of Saint Rita Moreno, Our Lady of Perpetual Motion." She's still kicking, too. She was in an episode of Ugly Betty this season, and will be a permanent cast member of the upcoming CBS drama Cane.

Queen Latifah

I was always impressed by Queen, even back in the Yo! MTV Raps! days, but I gained a whole new level of respect for her after watching her Inside the Actors Studio interview. She's quite a lady!

Tina Turner

At just shy of 70 years old, Tina was included on this year's People Magazine list of Most Beautiful People. 'Nough said!
How about Grace Kelly? I can't believe anyone else knows about Vera-Ellen in White Christmas. And if you're talking dames; there's always Kate Hepburn
I'm ashamed to say I've not watched enough Grace Kelly to form a definite opinion. Kate is a diva, of course, but she lacks a certain something. That said, Desk Set is the best library movie ever made. Hepburn, Tracy, and a computer the size of your house!
gwen stefani! she is so beautiful, and confident in her style and persona. love her.
I think Deborah Kerr was a really classy lady and her movie "An Affair to Remember" is my favorite movie of all times.
See, I'm making a distinction between "hot" and "beautiful".
And, of course, this is extremely subjective. :-)

That's strange...you forgot Britney. Oh well.
I'd add Princess Diana and Jackie O. Gorgeous, classy ladies.

I agree with the hot vs. beautiful. I'm including mature beauty and classy attitude. Sophia and Raquel have held up well.
