She's becoming one of my favorite names on a marquee. <BR/><BR/>For a one shot, I'd say Radha Mitchell for Pitch Black. <BR/><BR/>And as far as oldies, how about Buffy? Joss is fantastic at writing action roles for petite women who will kick your butt.Jhiannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13961562933937294762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55282503134540185.post-71197275633087481842008-03-04T10:11:00.000-08:002008-03-04T10:11:00.000-08:00I really like Kate Beckinsale and am hoping that s...I really like Kate Beckinsale and am hoping that some day she will be in a good movie. ;-)<BR/><BR/>I'm growing into a Summer Glau fan as well.

Who is not really a hero, but she rocks action-wise. <BR/><BR/>But you're right, in hollywood there is a need for the women of action to be kittens in bed also. Blech. Probably why I liked Yancy Butler and Linda Hamilton and Sigourney Weaver . . . not a lot of fake kitten behavior going on for any of them. But real emotional development. <BR/><BR/>DiDi Francishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02794691680957644984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55282503134540185.post-22105268196667156162008-03-03T22:26:00.000-08:002008-03-03T22:26:00.000-08:00DiMy previous post had both Sigourney Weaver and L...Di<BR/><BR/>My previous post had both Sigourney Weaver and Linda Hamilton. I love them! Cote de Pablo is another favorite of mine. <BR/><BR/>Nepharia<BR/><BR/>I can see what you mean but I think Halle has been objectified just as much as anyone else. I'm flashing back to the gratuitous nudity in "Swordfish."<BR/><BR/>But I think that's part of the deal in Hollywood. If an actress won't wear the skin tight costume she'll just be replaced. Sucks, but that's the way it is.SQThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04251030404220909306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55282503134540185.post-72599264826425633942008-03-03T18:54:00.000-08:002008-03-03T18:54:00.000-08:00I like to see smart, saavy action ladies that aren...I like to see smart, saavy action ladies that aren't necessarily trying to sell their bodies as part of the package. <BR/><BR/>Although, I must admit that I liked Halle Berry's part in Die Another Day and she was intelligent, street-smart AND sexy. Same with Michelle Yeoh: she's awesome. :D<BR/><BR/>However Jennifer Garner and Angelina Jolie both leave me cold and I'm unconvinced of their portrayals of strong, action-hero women. Sorry. :( <BR/><BR/>Great post tho.

And let's not forget Grace Jones in Conan The Destroyer. And I tend to agree with your list, btw. And then there's Cote de Pablo (Ziva) on NCIS . . . <BR/><BR/>DiDi Francishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02794691680957644984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55282503134540185.post-47733223791656721812008-03-02T17:51:00.000-08:002008-03-02T17:51:00.000-08:00Charles, I have always thought Garner was marginal...Charles, I have always thought Garner was marginal as an actress and didn't particularly like her as Elektra. But Schwarzenegger, Van Damme and Segal proved you don't have to be able to act to be an action star. I'm pretty much putting Garner in the same category.SQThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04251030404220909306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55282503134540185.post-41042299653484217502008-03-02T13:53:00.000-08:002008-03-02T13:53:00.000-08:00I'm afraid I'll have to disagree with you on Jenni...I'm afraid I'll have to disagree with you on Jennifer Garner. I watched Elektra and really thought she failed to pull off the aggressivness needed for the role.<BR/><BR/>Yeoh was very good, as was Angelina Jolie in Laura Croft. My favorite female action star, though is Kate Beckinsale, with Mila Jovanovich (spelling) from the REsident Evil movies second.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55282503134540185.post-79561127567096693482008-03-02T09:53:00.000-08:002008-03-02T09:53:00.000-08:00I loved Summer Glau in Serenity.
