Betty Thomas (Lucy) attractive or not?

That is the question, is Lucy, played ny Betty Thomas, hot or not?

Probably there ks a strong opinion of this, some think she is sexy, and others do not. Some men like tall, blonde women, others not so much. Even in the show, there were certain people who thought she was Hot, Joe Coffey, other denizens and visitors of the station, while other men saw her as "one of the guys". This was part of her character, some guys really liked her as a sexual woman, others, just another guy of another sex, which was the dichotomy of her character.

I thought she was beautiful, but not really my type. I like dark haired, brown eyed women. The woman who married Belker for example, she is beautiful. Belker's first girlfriend of the show was gorgoeous!

Lastly, not to make anyone mad, is Betty Thomas gay? She has never been married. Not that it makes her gay, but usually women who are not maied usually aw. Not always but who knows. Is Betty (Lucy) gorgeous or not?

chinaglenn; To me no, to somebody else a very positive yes. At the end of the series She dates a short plumber and I believe it would work. He see's her as VENUS and that is how it should be if you love somebody. My S.O. looks like 1950s' Actress Barbara Rush and I think She is 'Hot Stuff'.

Not to me. I do like tall blondes, but Lucy is a tall blonde whose face I find unattractive.

Check Betty Thomas topless w/ pasties on in the movie 'Used Cars'. She's the stripper on the car w/ Kurt Russell. BTW, 'Used Cars' is arguably the funniest movie ever made.

Keith Moon was the greatest 'Keith Moon Style' drummer ever!!

I like Betty Thomas's character, the way she plays it; her empathy, caring and professionalism; thus she's on the side of the angels so far as I'm concerned. Her light hair and stature are appealing to me. It's the way it is. A beauty? Babe? My type? No. But I really like her as an actress, and I like Lucy, so in this she's my kind of gal on Hill Street.

Meh, she's kinda sleepy attractive in a scrappy kind of way I suppose.

I thought she was great. She was a tough and determined character and didn't let her partners mess her around. Very attractive regardless of appearance.

She is, in a Sophia Coppola kind of way. Sometimes you look at her and think she is.
Other times you wonder why you thought so.

I get the impression when people say "Hot" they just mean attractive. To me "Hot" means someone who is extremely good looking. In my opinion, no she isn't "Hot".

She’s kinda mousey cute, like Uma Thurman.

And then there’s Justine Bateman, who was cute, but also looked a bit like a frog. Go figure attractiveness. Sometimes it’s the personality that gets people some bonus points.

Some women are sexy without being beautiful as well. I don't think Betty is sexy but that is my take on her.

Betty to me is like that Gal Pal you have where every now and then things get a little sexual but never too much. She just wants to help you out. For the most part you drink beer together and just hang out.

Uma's look can vary so much especially when she was younger. The film Truth About Cats and Dogs I still think she was outclassed by Garafalo who never looked good in another film after that. I think the way Uma does her hair plays a big part in how attractive she is.

I just looked at some pics of Justine in her youth, I can see what you mean about frog like. She was girl next door cute, someone you could imagine actually knowing. Not sure if you have seen her now but she is a very rough looking 55.

Not smoking hot but a woman I would hit on given the convenience. Harkening back to my college days I knew a girl like that. Not hot but a good body and a variety different from what I had been around up until then. And she was there. I spent quite a number days thinking about getting to hook up with her.

As my late grandmother used to say, "There's a lid for every pot.

Some men don't go for tall blondes, others do. You never can tell what a man will find appealing.

I read one comment on this site where a guy thought Raquel Welch was unattractive. Huh?

A long time ago I was watching the film "10" on TV with my then boyfriend. He said that Bo Derek "was no 10". I wondered "yikes!", what does he think of me? I must be a solid 2.
