Propaganda

Marge Champion (Show Boat, Give a Girl a Break, Three for the Show)—Underrated dancing queen!! Also served as an uncredited model for several Disney films, including Snow White, The Blue Fairy in Pinocchio, the Hyacinth Hippo in Fantasia, and Mr. Stork in Dumbo. The range!

Donna Reed (It's a Wonderful Life, From Here to Eternity)—The scene where she is in a bathrobe, walking down the street after falling into a pool while dancing with Jimmy Stewart, playing coy and looking just radiant….. I fell so head over heels in love with her.

This is round 1 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

Marge Champion:

Donna Reed:

Despite her association with the clean and conservative 1950s, Reed became an anti-nuclear activist and anti-Vietnam protester. She also won her Oscar for playing a prostitute. She was an accomplished baseball player in high school, so they didn't have to use a body double to throw the rock at the old house in It's a Wonderful Life.

It's a wonderful life comes on tv every christmas and everytime I am captivated by her beauty and talent. She was also a notable anti-war activist.

Ava Gardner by Virgil Apger, 1952

"Ava had really astonishing beauty, a piercing vulnerability, and also a kind of regalness, but she could be as common as sand between your toes. But everyone on set was drawn to her."

Helen Woods' ballet, jazz, and acrobatic chops (paired with Kurt Kasznar)

The Champions doing a soppy number aping American In Paris hard, but there are some interesting poledancing elements.
