The reason I didn't qualify my statement as foreign film with subtitles is because for some people, English is a second language. So maybe the first time they saw a Hollywood film in English (without subtitles), that was their first "foreign language" movie experience.
makes sense

One could easily ask about the first foreign film a person ever saw. For me it was DAS BOOT
You probably should qualify that as foreign language film with subtitles
Leone's A Fistful of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More, and The Good The Bad And The Ugly are foreign films.
But for foreign language film it was either La Stada, or Bicycle Thieves and that was at home on one of the local NYC stations or the Public station WNET. In an art theater in Missoula, Montana there were I lot I saw but it may have first been Un Chien Andalou.

A good actress that hasn't been mentioned yet is Linda Lovelace.
Qui elle était très très bonne dans sa spécialité!
D'accord.

Theresa Russell is another actress from the 70's (and she's never stopped - she's still acting) that made me sit up and notice back then.
Agree but I do think of her more 80s-90s.

A Smell of Honey, a Swallow of Brine (1966) - 6/10
Vintage exploitation sleaze from writer-producer David F. Friedman and director Byron Mabe. Stacey Walker stars as Sharon, a beautiful blonde office worker who likes to sexually torment those around her, whether getting heavy with a guy in a car and then accusing him of assault, or teasing her lesbian roommate. When Sharon tries her tricks with new guy at the office Lowell (Sam Melville, billed as "Neville Coward"), things get complicated. This is Walker's show all the way, and she turns in a better performance than most of the people in these kinds of "adults-only" features. This runs just over an hour.
Source: Something Weird DVD. There are two other features included (which I'll get to later), as well as trailers for such "classics" as The Lustful Turk and The Notorious Daughter of Fanny Hill. There's also a short look at a NYC grindhouse theater.
I gave it about a 5/10. My review and screencaps at Noirsville.

i woke up and didn't feel like flipping around, so i turned on CHANDLER (1978?)
**EDIT: NO, 1971, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE 1978.
this morning.
all you really need to know about this movie is that there is a scene, which looks like it was filmed in the wilderness of Calabasas- I mean, just golden dry grass and rolling hills and oaks and dry dirt roads- and the Detective and his lady are apprehended on the lam by the baddies in a "rainstorm"- and by "rainstorm"- I mean they play HEAVY foley sounds of a STRONG downpour on concrete over footage that was shot at about 1:00 pm on The Longest Day of the Year in June during a drought and water restrictions and someone had a 1/2" piece of plastic tubing with a sprayer through which they are producing a light trickle of water on the right side of the frame- the droplets of which only show up when catching the GLARING SUNLIGHT OVERHEAD.
Oh, And Leslie Caron's (very ratty) hair is slightly wet.
I mean, they're always pushing it when it rains in Southern California in the movies, but this scene really just takes the cake. AT NO TIME DID ANYONE STOP AND ASK "DOES IT REALLY NEED TO BE RAINING IN THIS SCENE? WHAT DOES IT ADD TO THE STORY? IS LESLIE WEARING A WHITE LINEN BLOUSE AND NO BRA? ARE WE FILMING AN ADAPTATION OF RAIN? THE RAINS CAME? SINGIN IN THE RAIN? NO? OK THEN, 86 THE RAIN....and by that, I mean take that gallon jug of water back to craft services..."
"APRES MOI, LE DELUGE...Eventually."
I've watched this once, don't remember the rain scene but remember the film really sucked, which was too bad because I like both stars.

There's lots of movies out there if you're just interested in seeing bewbies. A really interesting movie about strippers that has an excellent story to go along with the performances is SWEET SKIN or STRIP TEASE made in 1963. I was given a copy by a friend who knew I love Nico, who stars in it (as well as enjoying a good strip performance). It takes place in Paris and is an excellent movie with some very unique performances in it.
I was exaggerating of course.....
I know where I can get it, thanks for the heads up. 😉

Mondo Topless (1966) - 5/10
Russ Meyer's one-hour, mostly color "documentary" featuring a handful (no pun intended) of topless dancers gyrating to bad rock music. Their narrated inner thoughts and concerns are heard on the soundtrack, as well as commentary from a really bombastic guy (John Furlong). The dancers include Pat Barrington, Babette Bardot, Darlene Grey, Diane Young, Sin Lenee, Darla Paris, and Trina Lamarr. There's also footage lifted from Meyer's Europe in the Raw, another mondo movie about strippers, and footage of Lorna Maitland from Meyer's earlier film Lorna. It's all very silly, but amusing as a time capsule of both looks and music, and there's some of footage of San Francisco at the time.

Eddie had a nice Bernard Herman intro/outro for On Dangerous Ground
Seen the film many times before though, wish we had more obscure, and or Brit/French/International noir in the lineups.

Last week I caught the showing of Pickup on South Street. Now I'm a fan of Jean Peters. Unfortunately I see that she went into retirement fairly quickly.
Yes too quickly, Pickup on South Street was the apex of her career. I liked her in Niagara and O.Henry's Full House, not so much in Blueprint for Murder or Vicki. Surprisingly she made them all in a roughly one year period, but her sweet Candy character is a one eighty from Lynn Cameron in Blueprint for Murder, you hardly even recognize her as the same actress. That may be commendable of her acting skills but not for her longevity in the public eye
Her Candy character was sort of lightning in a bottle. If she could have continued along in that vein her career arc may have been different. Think of the way Marilyn Monroe was sort of pigeon holed/type cast into what we know as your typical Marilyn shtick, she became an icon. Sometimes being type cast is a good thing.

Britt Ekland
I had her on my list originally but I think of Britt as more a 60s actress. Also had Stella Stevens but the same deal, more 60s than 70s.

Helen Mirren
Agree I should have mentioned Helen too (although her career does stretch over the decades), but I would have chose a frame from Age Of Consent for screen cap
and BTW it has been on TCM.

The title is "favorite actresses". I listed some favorite actresses, while avoiding those that had already been named, which narrowed the field as the OP named a lot of the usual choices.
If I include those already named, and if I judge the actresses based solely on their films of the 1970's, then my top choices would be:
- Diane Keaton
- Jane Fonda
- Glenda Jackson
- Sissy Spacek
- Vanessa Redgrave
Out of the above I'd winnow it down to Fonda as a favorite (but from her 60s films).

Well, OP aside, this thread should probably be retitled "Hottest Actress of the '70s!" Not that this can't be a criterion for determining one's favorite, of course ...
yea he said favorite.

I still have these O'Brien films on my DVR:
-The Wild Bunch
-Birdman From Alcatraz
-A Cry in the Night
These O'Brien films are on Amazon Prime:
-The Hitchhiker (watched)
-The Bigamist (watched)
-DOA (watched)
-The Barefoot Contessa
-Shield For Murder
-The Admiral Was a Lady
-Warpath
There is another O'Brien Noir that's pretty good where Laraine Day and O'Brien plan to kill Day's look-a-like (he looks like O'Brien) boss while he's on a fishing trip to Mexico. Then both are to abscond with as much money as they can get away with from (transferring company money to another account), however the boss's attractive gal pal Julie London shows up for a rendezvous and it all goes haywire.
It's called The 3rd Voice 6.5/10
There's a bootleg DVDr available in the gray market but it could used a good restoration.

It is, if you blow up the image you can see a tab? or whatever you'd call it coming up from her left arm pit area.
