In random order (some are borderline, but did ''make it'' prior to January 1st 1980...)
Mitzi Gaynor
Had a reputation as a "tough girl"
everything
In “One Million BC”, Raquel had a great fight with Martine Beswick, another favorite! Martine was in the famous “Gypsy Fight” in the James Bond Classic, “From Russia With Love”.
Right on the line, but Audrey and Judy Landers each managed to make a movie before 1980. Here's the best versions I could find of a wrasslin photoshoot they did.

Plus this. Dallas and Lottery were their respective shows at the time.

Loved Maren on BSG. Probably my first celeb crush along with Lindsay Wagner. ;D
Nice choice. I like her a lot, though her comparative obscurity makes it hard to find good pics. Still, found this:

Can definitely see her tangling with the others in the thread!
Gotta be Sybil Danning!
Joanna Lumley (overr ated)
I don't think anyone has mentioned Caroline Munro but she fought and lost to Joanna Lumley on that Avengers episode. And she was just jaw-dropping gorgeous.
Some more from the past
Tina Louise vs Catherine Bell
Barbara Eden vs Cheryl Ladd
Gotta be Sybil Danning!
Picture from an episode of The Fall Guy where Sybil almost (frustratingly so) gets into a catfight with Heather Thomas.
Heather engages in 2 catfights in this episode but neither with Sybil

For all the fights the guys had on Fall Guy, Heather Thomas didn't really mix it up much. .
For all the fights the guys had on Fall Guy, Heather Thomas didn't really mix it up much. Would have been great is she had. Loved her and thought she was one of, if not the, sexiest woman on tv back in her time.And as I recall she seemed pretty athletic, so I'm sure she would have came out on top more times than not.
Audrey Hepburn. Probably the weakest celebrity ever
Twiggy
Edwige Fenech
QuoteQuoteEdwige Fenech
This one I had to look up. She seems pretty delicate too but probably less so than the others. Guess you're a fan of that, though?
I really like movies from the 70s and 80s. Edwige Fenech made many films in Italy in those years, always taking advantage of her sexy body. I would like to see her fight as she destroys a leaner and weaker opponent but also in a balanced and uncertain match to the end.
(Been a year, but there's no similar thread, it's my thread, and I'm posting new material)
I actually love the types of movies Sybil Danning is typecast for, but I've managed to skip nearly all of them somehow. So, not much to say on that subject.
Here's Dian Parkinson of the bikini squad from The Price is Right, called Barker's Beauties. In an ideal world they'd spend half their time pulling each other's hair and half of their time teaming up against the bikini squads from other shows.

For anyone still reading, is anyone interested in celebrity rps through discord? The ladies in this thread (not just Dian, but the 40s pin ups and everyone in between) are a lot of fun, and I think it'd be fun to do some scenes with them. If anybody's at all interested, feel free to leave your discord here, PM it to me, or just add me directly: A.#3123
What the title says. Got any favorite retro celebrities you'd want to see in action? Got any you think would be particularly strong or weak? Post em!
Some of my favorites:

Jane Russell, who I don't think requires any explanation.

Caroline Munro, who is more obscure, as a Bond girl who was also in a ton of low budget flicks. I can see her knocking out a jobber or two.

Raquel Welch is obvious because she manages to pull hair in so many of her roles.

Finally, here's Donna Summer, ready to stomp on somebody!
Could have posted more faves, and I might later. Who makes your list?
Pam Grier against Adrienne Barbeau. Used to think about this one a lot. Adrienne would definitely get the worst of it. I think Pam would rip that corset right off of her and go to work on those breasts.
