| To me, Dana Delany is what you would refer to as a classic beauty. She has a sweet sexiness that is hard to describe and for the past couple of months, many fans of this site have requested her inauguration. At fifty-three years old, this gal still puts the flicker in my paunchy Polish porch light. | |||||

I really liked the show China Beach, but certainly not for Rikki Lake’s chubby back-drop. It was Delany who churned my butter and not only was she a looker pre-cougar days, that gal could act. While starring as an army nurse, Colleen McMurphy on the Vietnam based drama, Dana was nominated four times for an Emmy Award and took two of them home for show and tell. She has done a massive amount of TV and movie work and I really dug her in the film, Tombstone, with Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer. Other film credits include HouseSitter with Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn; Exit to Eden with Dan Aykroyd and Rosie O’Donnell; Moon Over Parador with Richard Dreyfuss; Light Sleeper, opposite Susan Sarandon and Willem Dafoe; Masquerade, with Rob Lowe; and Fly Away Home, with Jeff Daniels and Anna Paquin. And now Dana has made her triumphant television return as the newest hottie cougar wench to grace Wysteria Lane, Katherine Mayfair on Desperate Housewives. It’s no secret that I love Dana Delany, and I would nibble every inch of that 53 year-old frame like the tasty little Irish pork chop, she is. Yes, she’s this week’s COUGAR Inductee, so enjoy.

Delaney is an absolutely beautiful woman, very classy, yet sexy. She is also an absolutely fantastic actor, as the China Beach series showed. I’m not entirely sure why she’s doing Desperate… unless she’s getting desperate. In my opinion, Hollywood has blacklisted her, despite her abilities, precisely because she is just a little too classy.
She and Jayne Seymour show that you can be classy and sexy. Of course, that whip getup is a bit bizarre, but she is still pretty good looking.
She gets an A++ in my class, for having class.
