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'
Trinity from the Matrix movies should have been #1, IMO...
I like that "Stop to get a manicure while saving the universe" thing. ;o)
The Duras sisters were bodacious, but ...
The original Star Trek vulcan chicks were not so good.
I see. So Cheney isn't a looker?
That ought to tell you what I think about Hanoi Jane.
I know it is not your list. You would have picked a better class of people for your list.
Well gee whiz, no bias there from the Hollyweirdo crowd. /sarcasm
I couldn't tell you his height, weight, musculature, etc. The bald head, the twinkle in the eye, the smirk ... the external details simply reveal the inside.
Aha! That was very clever!
Jadzia Dax was beautiful, too.
Just in case this snuck past you the first time....
Oops
(If what I just wrote makes you sad or angry,
How about the alien chicks from UFO??
Fonda only got it because she showed her hooters in a fish bowl bra.
There were other chicks in that movie who looked much better but they aren't household names.
She's a hottie. Though I highly disliked the movie.
