Women We'd Love to Be--Round Two, Week 20

[I'm declaring a tie for this week; more on how that affects the remainder of this round below.]



Not a classic beauty, Christina somehow still manages to exude sex appeal. One of the teen stars who grew into an adult on screen, she represents a person we wanted to emulate as kids and now long to look like as grown-ups.



Diana, on the other hand, for those of us "of a certain age", was a sexual icon of our youth. As Emma Peel, her combination of take-charge attitude and flirtation gave us an appealing melding of male and female roles in one. And, if you've never seen her in The Assassination Bureau, you're missing something.

[In order to come out with the right number of entries for the next round, the quarter finals, I'm increasing the number of choices in each of the next three polls to six.

I must be of that certain age because Diana Rigg I get, Christina Ricci I most certainly do not in the least!
