Beauty and the Brain



There were plenty of red-tressed dishes to choose from in 1960's Hollywood, from Ann-Margret to Tina Louise, but perhaps none were sexier than Jill St. John (August 19, 1940). She appeared in the ultimate Hollywood trash movie, The Oscar (1966); was a memorable Bond Girl (Tiffany Case in 1971's Diamonds are Forever); and was married to Barbara Hutton's only son, Lance Reventlow, and crooner extraordinaire, Jack Jones. Miss St. John also boasts an IQ of 162, and was admitted into UCLA at the age of 14! Since 1990, she's been Mrs. Robert Wagner, still looks absolutely smashing, and continues to grace television and movie screens with her utterly fabulous presence.

  3. Jill St. John: “Tony, why don’t we go away for a few days on that boat of yours?”
    Frank Sinatra: “I can’t. You know I’m too busy.”
    JSJ: “I wish I were busy.”
    FS: “Get a job”
    JSJ: “That’s too busy.”

    From the 1966 neo-noir “Tony Rome,” starring Jill St. John as Ann Archer and Frank Sinatra as the eponymous private investigator
