| Mona Lisa Vito was the sexy little minx with the screaming New Yawk accent, who told us all the Posi Traction was NOT available on the 1964 Buick Skylark. Her Oscar winning role as best supporting actress in My Cousin Vinny shot Marisa to a new level in Hollywood and Guys just couldn’t get enough of this Brooklyn, born sweetie. | |||||

Tomei has been one of the most requested women for induction since I started this home for wayward elder babes. Maxim even had her at number 18 in this year’s ‘100 sexiest Females in the World.’ I wouldn’t say that she’s stunningly beautiful, but there’s a natural charm and sexiness she possess that definitely hardens the shell on my cannoli. Bet you didn’t know she was in the Toxic Avenger? Okay, not exactly her most memorable role, as this honey has done some incredible film work, including What Women Want, Welcome to Sarajevo, Chaplin, Wild Hogs, Anger Management, and was nominated for an Oscar for In the Bedroom and The Wrestler. And who can forget her appearance on Seinfeld, playing herself as the girl who was turned on by George Costanza, the quirky little bald guy. But with all the great work she has done, it’s her performance in My Cousin Vinny that I can watch over, and over, and over. (See the You tube clip below of her courtroom testimony.) Ms. Tomei is without question a most worthy nominee as the 14th gal inducted into the COUGAR Hall of Fame.
