Top 30 Sexiest Actresses


Top 30 Sexiest Actresses of All-Time

    Top 30 Sexiest Actresses of All-Time:
    First off, we acknowledge that 'sexiness' is extremely subjective, but when has that stopped anyone from offering their opinion? It certainly hasn't kept us from taking note of the women who have served it up to us over and over again on the silver screen. And that kind of consistency deserves recognition. With that in mind BlackVoices took time out to compile a list of the top 30 sexiest actresses of all-time. Although some of the women on our list have made various appearances on other projects throughout their career, we decided to rank each actress based off their "sex appeal in feature films, roles, and scenes." Whether you agree or disagree with our rankings we want to hear your opinion and possibly your own top 30 actress list. Please post your thoughts, comments and/or opinions in our community board listed below. Let the sexiness begin

    30. Thandie Newton
    It's fitting that British Actress Thandie Newton got the lead off slot in our ranking. After all, compiling a list like this is sort of a Mission Impossible given the fact that sexiness is completely subjective. Still, Newton sizzles on screen when the role calls for it whether playing the femme fatale opposite Tom Cruise or the violated wife of Terence Howard in the 2005 drama 'Crash.' No matter your taste, leaving Newton off our list would've been an injustice.

    29. Tracy Camilla Johns
    Tracy Camilla Johns first came to our attention in Spike Lee's debut feature, 'She's Gotta Have It'. The mere fact that she hasn't left our consciousness since it a testament to her sex appeal. Oh yeah, we forgot to mention that she played a nymphomaniac involved with three men @ the same time (not simultaneously). She followed that up with a scene-stealing striptease in 1991's 'New Jack City.'

    28. Vivica A. Fox
    Vivica Fox managed to heat up the screen even when playing an ice queen ala Mr.' Freeze's lusty assistant in Batman and Robin. WE should've expected as much with a character names Miss B. Haven. It seems Ms. Fox is destined to live up to her real name and proved as much with sexy roles in 'Booty Call' and 'Two Can Play That Game.'

    27. Robin Givens
    As if posing in a 1994 issue of Playboy Magazine wasn't sexy enough. Robin Givens actually played a sex siren opposite of Eddie Murphy in 'Boomerang'. Givens' character, Jacqueline ultimately seduces Murphy's character Marcus Graham. Some say she played the same role in real life with former husband Mike Tyson.

    26. Paula Patton
    We can see why fellow R&B crooner Robin Thicke decided to put a ring on this sultry actress (let alone write a song about her). Of course we're sure that's not the only reason, but it couldn't have hurt. Paula Patton makes the list for roles in 'Déjà vu' and 'Idlewild'. No matter the role, Paula's leading men would be lost without the light she brings to the screen.

    25. Nichelle Nichols
    We couldn't possibly leave the original intergalactic hottie off of this list? If Nichelle Nichols was the future of space travel what self-respecting trekkie wouldn't want to get beamed up? We would mention that she was hot enough to entice Captain Kirk, but that wouldn't be saying much. In her prime Lieutenant Commander Uhura was light years ahead of the competition.

    24. Eartha Kitt
    Eartha Kitt epitomizes sexiness. Just her name evokes the signature purr she unleashed as Catwoman. The eyes, the hands, the voice, the legs they all add to her allure- yet her sexiness is even greater than the sum of her parts. We'll admit we haven't seen most of her movie roles, but it doesn't take much to be convinced. Besides, have you ever seen her performance of Santa Baby? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOMmSbxB_Sg

    23. Vanity
    Even though she was a 'Nasty Girl' in Prince's off shoot group Vanity 6, Vanity (born Denise Katrina Matthews) had everyone in awe over her the 1985 flick 'The Last Dragon.' Leroy Green wasn't the only teenage boy in pursuit of Matthew's character Laura Charles. Sho'nuff! Whoever plays her role in the upcoming remake has some pretty sexy shoes to fill. (that's right we said shoes)

    22. Lauren London
    When people hear the letters "L.L." they may automatically associate them with rapper-actor L.L. Cool J. Well, not this time! 24-year-old vixen Lauren London falls in at number 22 for her role as "Erin 'New New' Garnett" in the 2006 film 'ATL'. She may not have many roles to her credit, but something tells us she'll more than live up to the billing.
