I’ve seen much better than several of these women. You neglected Princess Diana, who had perfectly proportioned legs.

Think these are all forty plus, Princess Diana unfortunately never made it to that young age.

Good thinking, Sand, Then they should have put Lucille Ball in there. She had great legs!

And, what about Che Rivera, Rita Moreno, and Ann Miller? Their legs are ahelluvalot better than Ann Coulter’s. And, they are no spring chickens, by a long shot!

Being barely 5’ I’d gladly trade with any of them, except Coulter - couldn’t take the thinking that came with them. But you are right, there are so many not so young ones out there.

Wasn’t the Chita Rivera? Personally I doubt if Che had great looking legs lol Coulter—*shudder* gives me the creeps just to type that name.

Frank, my mind was going faster than the fingers…a typo, yes, I meant Chita. She is tops, and re-learned the dancing after the horrible car accident. I love her and Rita Moreno.

Frank, Everything about Coultergeist gives me the creeps….don’t even want to look at the legs. She’s one big, UGH. I’ve always had, been known for, and proud of my long legs…and admire the leggy gals. Who knew Leslie Stahl and Katie Couric had such glammy gams? We always see them behind a desk. Diane Sawyer, oh yeah, she’s got ‘em, most definitely. And so many other long stemmed beauties. But I guess I admire Tina the most of all. Because she overcame so much, to go so far, and at nearly 70 she is still at it, still has it! Love it that she is kind of muscularly in your face. Her attitude says: Deny this at your peril, punk. I am mesmerized by that. And just think, you dazzle me. Go Tina. You totally rock, girl! Can’t wait for the upcoming concert. I’ll be there. Your biggest fan! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_7s5fSNkIM
