Thanks again GF for the tremendous amount of good work you put into this, the most entertaining feature on the site. Like others, I expected a Sophia Loren/Anita Ekberg finale, with the well-toned Ursula Andress or young Tunisian Claude Cardinale poised to muscle their way in if one of them faltered. But the outcome clearly reflected most voters' wishes.
As I've said previously, I prefer to speculate on outcomes based real-world factors rather than images. (Where, for instance, Cardinale had to learn Italian and change her to Claudia in order to get into movies, and Diana Rigg had no martial arts skill and was uninterested in learning, as she repeatedly told interviewers.) In this field, I enjoyed considering how established actresses, some quite athletic, would do against unknown teens. But in terms of fun, it's equally valid to vote based on the actresses' images or roles.
It's probably impossible to come up with a field where voters would change their minds from match to match, so this field generally fell into place early. But from your stats, I was glad to see that at least a few women changed moved dramatically up or down from the initial rankings, even if it's not always clear why.
I don't know if you plan to continue these tournaments after the 60s one, but I'm looking forward to your next venture.
