    She was totally hot!
    I must admit, I love bespectacled women, so to me her glasses were the icing.

      Legend has it that Howard Hughes fired her from RKO because he didn't think she was hot enough. Clearly the man had questionable taste.

          I looked up this board with the purpose of posting the very same opinion. You got ahead of me. 🙂

            Men find true love thrice in their lives. First their mother, then their 'ferne Geliebte' (the idolized woman they cannot have but keep longing for), and then the Real Love which is usually the neighbour's daughter.
            Barbara Bel Geddes is the neighbour's daughter. And that's not a bad thing. In Vertigo, she is a very hot neighbour's daughter. Problem is that Scottie is still an adolescent longing for his 'ferne Geliebte'. Midge (Bel Geddes) tries to compensate by putting herself in 'mother's' role, but Scottie's idolization of Judy is too strong, and she is defeated.

                I wouldn't say she was hot, but she was cute. She had a different type of look that was attractive, but not drop dead gorgeous. Sometimes I find that more attractive than "gorgeous" though.

                  I think she's very attractive in Vertigo, but there's something peculiar about her teeth. She didn't have braces, I know that, but it looks as if she did at times. Something about the way she curls her lips over her top teeth, I guess, not sure

                    She was very cute and could be quite pretty sometimes. By 1961 she was playing roles older than her age. She deserved a much bigger career. Glad she cashed out with Dallas.

                      Yup. Not conventional beauty or sex appeal. Thinking man's hot. I think she's beautiful feminine and very appealing.

                        One of my favorite Bel Geddes roles is the housewife who murders her husband with a frozen leg of lamb and then
                        cooks it and feeds the evidence to the cops
                        (
                        Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Lamb to the Slaughter (1958)
                        as Mary Maloney).  I saw it when I was a kid and again fairly recently.  I just found out that the story was written by Roald Dahl.

                            25 years before Barbara was Miss Ellie, yeah, she was pretty hot … and Clayton Farlow, played by Howard Keel, he was a big star also.

                                  is a moderator on a board where pop* is not welcome.  Pop*, (I couldn't tell you, but I believe
                                  pop-actor
                                  is most likely the real one) has a grudge against Znep, me and one other regular on

                                  , because Znep banned him last month and I thoroughly roasted him in a mock funeral when he disappeared from the board in December and had one of his socks tell us he had died in his sleep.  It was the interaction with that third poster that actually got him banned.
                                  *Here it's a wildcard because his obvious socks have the pop- prefix.

                                        I just found her annoying. I prefer Kim Novak, which makes me superior to you guys!
                                        Mean people suck.

                                          Yes. Okay.
                                          I am more into Kim Novak, but I'd gladly take Barbara.
                                          She seems like the polite type in public, but would take off her glasses and suck your dick in the bedroom with her sexy lips.
