JoMilf Williams appreciation compilation.


JoMilf Williams Milfness in this film is the stuff of legends, we're talking blog posts and articles of appreciation. I'm compiling some of it.

I had such a Mom crush on JoBeth.

JoBeth Williams was an AWESOME BELIEVABLE MOM in the original!!!!!!!

All MILFs in cinema history must bow down to this woman. The queen.

Oh no doubt about it dude, she was the best, i loved her! One of my first movie crushes as a kid.

JoBeth Williams should join Celebrity Legs Hall of Fame. She has legs as beautiful as Betty Grable's and Marilyn Monroe's.

I haven't seen poltergeist for years Jobeth Williams was so hot.

When I was a 13 yo boy this was my favorite scene in the movie for some reason 🤔

She was hot the film was not

Review for Poltergeist & The Lost Boys 4K releases.

There is a palpable artistic synergy at work in Poltergeist: the mom is pure Spielberg; her MILF-iness is pure Hooper. To put it less crudely, her indefatigable maternalism points to Spielberg, but Hooper highlights actress JoBeth Williams's sex appeal in a way that allows her to transcend the character's virtuousness. When she slinks into bed wearing only a long nightshirt and panties, ignorant of the dread coursing through the audience, it adds an undercurrent of sexual peril like the (in)famous low-angle posterior tracking shot of Teri McMinn's Pam in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. It makes her vulnerable; curiously, to objectify her is to humanize her. The film is a seamless blend of antiseptic Spielbergian wonder and grimy Hooper viscera, of awe and hysteria, of will o' the wisps and desiccated corpses.

Poltergeist: Unintentional Humor and a MILF…What More Could You Ask For?

But the most important aspect: how about how much of a MILF JoBeth Williams was as Mama Diane Freeling?!?!?! Definitely a babe. She rolls her own joints and smokes them. She has fun with “disturbances” in the house before they become threatening. She wears really short jean shorts and just shows off her really long, tanned legs. Yes! And how about the end when she was wearing only that orange jersey whilst being near-molested on the walls and ceiling of her room??? Such a fox. Definitely that one friend’s mom whom you just loved and always found an excuse to play at your friends house to run into her.

Do I sound like a hormonal teenager? Yes, yes I do. Thanks for noticing. And thanks for the nice legs, JoBeth Williams. Always a pleasure. Nothing sexier than a girl wearing nothing but a jersey to bed (I swear I’m not sexist or anything).

Weird Crush Wednesday: We’re haunted by JoBeth Williams in 1982’s ‘Poltergeist’
https://uproxx.com/hitfix/weird-crush-wednesday-were-haunted-by-jobeth-williams-in-1982s-poltergeist/

One of the most complicated things about my reaction to the film was thanks to JoBeth Williams, who played Diane Freeling in the movie, the mother to the family that was troubled by the visitation. In the movie, she was 33 years old, a suburban mom, pretty much the opposite of what most kids at the age of 12 would consider an object of desire. It is safe to say that I had a full-blown out-of-control crush on Williams by the end of the film, though, and I'm not sure I could have even pulled it apart to explain why at that point in time.


Since this is “Weird Crush Wednesday,” I'll explain why I feel odd about it, and it's not just the 21 year age difference that separated us on first viewing. It's also because of the context. This is, after all, a horror film about a family that is shattered when their youngest daughter is pulled into a television by ghosts. This is a film that builds to JoBeth Williams fighting with a muddy swimming pool full of skeletons. This is not the kind of movie that typically helps foster crushes of any kind.

The pure primate on me reacted to the “Royal Wedding” sequence in the film, in which Williams is thrown around her bedroom's walls and ceiling by the ghosts in the house. She's wearing just a red t-shirt and a pair of bikini underwear, and while I've seen thousands of hours of far more explicit material since then, it remains one of those moments that I would consider defining. I'm sure seeing her in “Kramer Vs. Kramer” a few years earlier didn't hurt, but it was “Poltergeist” where I noticed.

In general, there were a group of movie moms I saw during my formative years that made the suburbs seems entirely fetching. Teri Garr, Melinda Dillon, and, yes, JoBeth Williams were all significant stops for me on the way to adolescence, and of them all, Diane Freeling is the one I still carry a torch for.
