Barbarella has been named the sexiest sci-fi character of all time.
The inter-galactic babe, played by Jane Fonda in the 1968 film, topped the poll by influential movie magazine 'Film Review' because of her sexy opening scenes.
The magazine said: "Getting dressed in zero gravity has never looked as good as in the opening sequence of this classic sci-fi film."
Fitness guru Jane Fonda, who played the role when she was 31, beat off competition from more recent characters, including 'Alien' star Sigourney Weaver and 'Matrix' beauty Carrie Anne Moss, to win the accolade.
The magazine described the chart-topping character as: "A sixties icon who was sweetness itself, and yet also the sexiest screen heroine ever to sport a transparent plastic vest."
Other stars nominated in the poll included 'Fifth Element' babe Milla Jovovich, who came second, and 'Terminator 3' star Kristanna Loken, who was voted in third place.
'Star Wars' beauty Carrie Fisher, who played screen siren Princess Leia in the cult hit nearly thirty years ago, also made it into the top 10.
Top Ten Sci-Fi babes:
1. Barabarella, Jane Fonda
2. Leeloo, Milla Jovovich, 'The Fifth Element'
3. T-X, Kritanna Loken, 'Terminator 3'
4. Princess Leia, Carrie Fisher, 'Star Wars'
5. Trinity, Carrie Anne Moss, 'The Matrix'
6. Maria, Bridget Helm, 'Metropolis'
7. Zhora, Joanna Cassidy, 'Blade Runner'
8. Sil, Natasha Henstridge, 'Species'
9. Vaako, Thandie Newton, 'The Chronicles of Riddick'
10. Ripley, Sigourney Weaver, 'Alien'
They have not asked real Scifi Fans what they think these picks are from the studios. Its sort of like that scifi show scifi channel created after they destroyed Scifi wire.

Damn, it's only one pic, but not tooo bad
Yeoman Rand, Grace Lee Whitney, is now 75 years old. I am feeling old too. As a youngster watching the original Star Trek, I was in love with her.
This is a serious poll. Which means only the cinema counts, not people who appeared on the radioviser machine.
So Andromeda
, Chiana
, Jenna
, Zev
, Zoe
just aren't worthy of consideration
She has the body of a boy
Misato Katsuragi was a Major babe
I'm trying to think what would be the appropriate response about admiring the Traitor Fonda.....
I got it!
unh unh....he said "beat off!"
As I explianed this is a serious poll. All the people named come from cinema. Appearances on the radiovisior machine don't count
Aaah....
The Commander from Cronicles of Riddick was pretty good looking.
"Lexa Doig from Andromeda rates as one the sexiest:"
I will second that motion 100%.. I have always liked (or had Lust for) her even when she was in that terrible Jason in space movie.
Carrie Fisher was a knockout when she was in the Star Wars flics...too :-)
