The Ultimate Superheroines Forum

Who was the best actress or model to wear tights. Any show, any movie, any ad, anything. The overall best damn tights wearer, period.


Everyone that gets mentioned here will be thrown into a poll, opened for voting, and from there only one will be crowned Queen Of The Tights!!


MH

WOW! Great poll. Very Very hard to choose, there are a lot! I'm going with
#1 Deana Lund from the TV Series Land of the Giants.


Honorable mention: Deidre Hall as Electro Woman and odviously Lynda Carter who will probobly win. As for a Hot group of women wearing tights, nothing comes close to the 80's fitness show from Canada "20 Minute Workout".

Ahhh, the 20 minute workout!!!!

Here is a little reminder..for those of you who may have forgotten these lovely ladies...

Here's two that should be mentioned.

Hellz no!!! It next to impossible to decide something like that.

But I'm gonna post my submissions nonetheless:

I'll probably remember more down the road

Here ya go MH

Meredith Salenger in Dream a Little Dream

were did you get that? were can i get it?

You're right.. It will be tough to decide a favorite.. There are so many.
Gotta cast a vote though,,,,,,,,,,
MY vote: MICHELLE LINTEL in the short lived Black Scorpion series.

That chick is stacked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

charlize theron,,in 2 days on the valley or in the valley whatever,,hard to beat!!!

Deanna Lund - Valerie on Land of the Giants

How about Darcel Wynne of the Solid Gold dencers? Here's a couple of pics!
Tell me what you guys think! 8)

Any thread that includes pics of Faye Grant trapped inside the sinister Visitor conversion chamber has to include at least one angle that lets us see her in head-to-toe, bodystocking-clad peril, right?

What about everyones favorite, Wonder Woman???

yes, that right! I'm talking about Cathy Lee Crosby!!!

How about Joanna Cameron, she played Isis on Saturday mornings!

Ok, one more from me. Catherine Bach as the original and the best Daisey Duke.

20 Minute Workout!!!

Now that brings back some fond memories. I believe that's the show that pushed all the right buttons, and help make me the pantyhose and tights loving freak that I am today! "And stretch and touch your toes." :twisted:

I have to go with Wonder Woman as the #1. Hell she even wore pantyhose/ tights in the steam room! (there's a clip with her getting knocked out by gas in a steamroom if you haven't seen that)

Nice Faye Grant shot, btw!

How about Ann Margaret when dances with Elvis wearing nothing but a pair of tights, heels, and a sweater in Viva Las Vegas! She was hot in her day!

Yes The 20 Min Workout was the best of all time when it came to hot girls in tights but don't forget G.L.O.W. Gorgeous Girls of Wrestling from Las Vegas, all the girls wore amazing shiny tights. Also WOW Ladies which featured The Beach Patrol Sandy and Summer.

Let's not forget Yvonne Craig (Batgirl)
Also about Erin Gray, I noticed in my local newspaper yesterday
Jan. 7. is her birthday, # 56.
I haven't seen a picture of her lately but I bet she could still go a
couple of rounds with Buck Rogers and probably win.

Ok! The poll has been set! May the best gams win!

Oh yeah, if you want to add someone to this list, post it here in the group!

Wow, great topic! That being said I have to say I'm sorely disappointed. I cannot believe that noone mentioned either Jenny Augutter or Heather Menzies, who played Jessica in the Logan's Run movie and TV series respectively. Heaven's sake folks, take a look and you'll know what I mean.

Another great example is a young 20-something Stephanie Powers as April Dancer in The Girl From U.N.C.L.E. In almost every episode she wears tights, sometimes with not even a skirt or leotard. It's amazing to watch her fight and often times be captured and struggle. If you have cable or satelitte try to find it on the American Life channel.

And since we're including non-heroine submissions, anyone remember the Canadian series Everyday Workout with Cynthia Kereluk? She's a blonde former Miss Canada who wore sheer tights almost every episode. Absolutely beautiful.

By the by, thanks to those who posted the pics of Faye Grant. Of course that was my favorite part of the entire V miniseries.

Now here's a tough one. Does anyone remember a late 70's TV show named Cliffhangers or also called The Secret Empire? Each week it ended with one of the main cast in some type of dire peril. The only thing I can really recall is one eipsode where a young woman and some teenage boy were trapped on a sticky giant spider web as a giant spider slowly crept toward them. If anyone knows more about this show (or has any images or clips!) please let me know. Other than some info on IMDB there's precious little around.

Sorry MH for going off on a tangent like that. As I said before, this is a great topic for discussion/voting.

Hey tangents are always welcome! Especially when you bring up some excellent observations. Great job! I am going to add these to the list!

What I liked best with Cynthia Kereluk was her cool down routine where she would remove her sneakers and, sometimes, if we were lucky, her socks too! She always wore tights..


If anyone has Girl from U.N.C.L.E. caps, feel free to post them! Its a hard show to catch on cable...


MH

This is the photocover of a Girl From U.N.C.L.E. comic book published by Gold Key Comics.

Well after a week of voting, it's time to say goodbye to this weeks losers... Although I suppose that word is rather harsh since how can any woman that wears tights really be a LOSER? But in our poll, only the strong survive. I have added a few names as recommended by sign4deaf, but unfortunately, Jenny Agutter shows up as Heather Menzies. I tried to fix that, but it keeps coming up double. I guess Heather must feel strongly about the role.

And I can understand why, considering the illustrious career she had. Who could forget Heather as Louisa in The Sound Of Music...




Coincidentally, She starred in that movie with yet another soon to be tights icon...If you guessed,



Angela Cartwright, you are correct!

Yet, I believe



This is the Heather Menzies you all remember.

Actually, this is how I remember Heather during her Logan's Run days...in living, tights-clad color, of course.

Sorry about the inability to edit the menfolk!

Thanks for that image friend. I think Heather's husband Robert Urich is a very lucky man.

I recently bought a 3-disc DVD set of all the Logan's Run TV episodes and am truly enjoying all of "Jessica's" adventures. Several times during the show she was captured and bound. I especially like the episode where she is trapped in a bed where a machine makes her dream. She has a few scenes of weak struggling and whimpering.

Great topic MH; let's keep the discussion going.

GLOW Girls should be on this list too. The tights they wore were amazing! Great topic!!

Well, Robert Urich passed away in 2002, but let's all hope his lovely wife wore her costume home to play the "Jessica captured by Sandmen" home game with him for many years--here's another pic, sorry it's b&w.
