This GenXer grew up watching classic TV shows on indy channels and I quite agree. So many amazingly attractive women from the 1940s through the 1960s. Hell, there were some cuties on TV in the 1980s such as Stephanie Zimbalist.
Can’t think of her name right now, but the girl from “Valley Girl” was another.
Trivia - the ‘pneumatic’ blond in that movie (another hottie) went on to do cartoon voices on Rugrats and others and is an accomplished guitarist.
