Women in Westerns, Big and Small Screens

I thought it might be interesting to ponder who was the sexiest western actress. After all at one time or another almost every Hollywood starlet has belted on a holster and saddled up for a western adventure.
Then I realized that if we did vote there would be hundreds of nominations of every size age and shape. Also there is the difficulty in deciding on the differences between what was considered beautiful in the 30's vs now. And blondes, brunettes and redheads all have their following. Furthermore many of the sexier actresses for some reason chose to "plain themselves down" for their western films. (Strange since they were sacrificing the very thing that made them famous in the first place).
So just as with any contest the judge must make a decision. I guess mine will have to suffice. I made it based on my memories and the way the actress carried herself whenever she was in a western. (that plus her wow factor.)
Results: ok here goes: I made the chices based on class, beauty and consistency of that wow factor time after time.

First place; Maureen O'hara >http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Hills/2440/ohara.html




Second Place Olivia DeHavilland (I'm a big Errol Flynn fan too)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivia_de_Havilland



Third Place Linda Evans (I fell for her while watching the Big Valley )
