Raven de la Croix (42F)

I’m going to alternate these posts between a well-known “name” babe, and someone who is probably not so well known. (Actually, I’ve been doing this since the Sylvia Kristel post.) Last time we took a good look at Joan Severance. This time is the lesser-known Raven de la Croix. 

I first saw Raven in the movie “The Lost Empire” many years ago, probably on Cinemax or Showtime. She plays the bustiest of the 3 sexy babes who are out to save the world from an evil genius. Along the way, she gets captured by him, and spends part of the movie as his nude harem girl, cavorting with a giant snake and what-not.

I later saw her in Russ Meyer’s “Up!”, which was her first movie. It has all the trappings you’d expect from ole Russ. Many of the photos below are from that flick (all the outdoor and back-seat nudity).

I hesitate to put “Screwballs” on my list of movies to see, because that’s just the kind of teenage sex-comedy bullshit I can’t stand, but it seems that Raven has a stripper scene in that movie, so I will be fast-forwarding to that part.

Her movies I have seen:
  *1984 - The Lost Empire
+*1976 - Up!

+ best bet
 * would watch again


Her movies I'd like to see:
1986 - 40 Plus: The Video
1983 - Screwballs
1977 - The Happy Hooker Goes to Washington

Where she ranks on the list:
This dark-haired busty babe is definitely a keeper in the top 10. I don’t think she does any sex scenes, so that will drop her below a few others, but those magnificent boobs will keep her firmly near the top. For now, she starts out at #5, between Sonia Braga and Joan Severance.

Joan Severance (33C)

I first got a look at Joan Severance during her brief time on the TV show “Wiseguy”. About 10 years ago I watched “Red Shoe Diaries: Double Dare” and “Lake Consequence” , and she was smoking hot in both flicks. In “Almost Pregnant”, you get both Joan and Tanya Roberts stripping down, so that’s a two-fer.

After reviewing IMDb today, it looks like I have missed the boat on a lot of her other movies, many of which are suspense-filled dramas which apparently require that she get nude with a variety of people, so I’d better get busy.

Her movies I have seen: 
+*1993 - Red Shoe Diaries 2: Double Dare
+*1993 - Lake Consequence
  *1992 - Almost Pregnant
   1989 - See No Evil, Hear No Evil

+ best bet
 * would see again


Her movies I'd like to see: 
1997 - In Dark Places
1996 - Black Scorpion II: Aftershock
1996 - Profile for Murder
1996 - Frequent Flyer
1995 - Black Scorpion
1995 - Dangerous Indiscretion
1995 - Payback
1994 - Criminal Passion
1992 - Illicit Behavior

Where she ranks on the list: 
Joan is very hot, and her movie roles play right into that. I’m going to put her at #5, behind Sonia Braga and ahead of Sybil Danning. Some of you may be thinking “Why are all these upstarts coming in ahead of Raquel Welch?” Sure, Ms. Welch is very sexy with great boobs, but she never shows them in movies, let alone has any hot love scenes. She also can’t act, and is apparently a pain in the ass. (Neither of those last 2 really matter for entry on this blog, but those that put it out there get their just rewards in these rankings.)

Sonia Braga (33B)

Sonia Braga is a Brazilian actress who appeared on many Brazilian TV shows, and also in movies beginning in the late 1970s. I first saw her in the movie “I Love You”, the most glamorous that I’ve seen her in the 4 movies listed below. “Lady on the Bus” is good because she gets sexed up in various public places, including a beach and (surprise!) a bus.

A few months ago I finally saw “Gabriela” and she was awesome in that as Marcello Mastroianni’s housekeeper and lover. (Not really a surprise, because there always seems to be gorgeous babes orbiting around Mastroianni.) In one scene, he enters her bedroom, and proceeds to boink her, while she is leaning (completely nude) out her bedroom window for anyone to see while walking by the house!

                    "Mind the gap!" 

Her movies I have seen: 
+*1983 - Gabriela
  *1981 - I Love You (a/k/a Eu Te Amo; a/k/a Un Caldo Incontro)
  *1978 - Lady on the Bus (a/k/a A Dama do Lotação)
  *1976 - Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands

+ best bet
 * would watch again


Her movies I'd like to see: 
1996 - Tieta of Agreste
1988 - Moon Over Parador
1985 - Kiss of the Spider Woman

Where she ranks on the list:
As you can see, she is a very sexy Latina with long hair, nice boobs, and a great ass. She also does not hesitate to display herself early and often in her movies. I’m going to slot her at #4, and fully expect her to stay in the top 10.
