The Most Tantalizingly Seductive Adulteresses of the Last 30 Years (A Pictorial)

For my money, no one will ever beat Barbara Stanwyck in Double Indemnity, but the kids these days — they’re all about color photos. So, in an effort to elicit that sick knot in your stomach combined with an overpowering need to have sex with someone you shouldn’t, I would like to celebrate the best adulteresses from the last 30 years, which should not be read as tacit permission to do something dirty. And wrong. As the saying goes: There’s nothing more sexy than a woman who cheats, as long as she’s not your wife.


5. Vera Farmiga, Up in the Air

4. Kate Winslet, Little Children

3. Maribel Verdú, Y tu mamá también

2. Kathleen Turner, Body Heat

Angelina Jolie has never played a tantalizingly seductive adultress? How ironic.

I'm beginning to feel as if every month or so one of these lists of women goes up and then once a year you fling together "Five Men Who Don't Have Beer Bellies" and expect us to be content with that. I demand equal rights on the sexy pictures.

Hello? Jessica Rabbit?

Posted by: Kballs at June 16, 2010 11:23 AM

Seems like Salma Hayek in From Dusk to Dawn should be on the list. True, she wasn't cheating, but can there be anything more wrong than wanting to sleep with a woman knowing full well she's going to kill you as soon as she's done and not caring about that one damn bit?

@PaddyDog

Aww, quit your gripin! We suffer through countless post of a shirtless Ryan Reynolds and his ilk. It's a mans world after all!! ;)

HOO WEE I love me some Kate Winslet!

Posted by: ZAGA at June 16, 2010 11:29 AM

I don't know why, but for some reason, I've never found Diane Lane attractive. Every other lady on this list is solid hot, but she just doesn't do it for me.

Posted by: ChristianH at June 16, 2010 11:34 AM

I don't know why, but for some reason, I've never found Diane Lane attractive.

I understand all of those words, but the sentence makes no sense. Is this like some kind of word jumble game? You know how I like a good word jumble.

Posted by: TK at June 16, 2010 11:36 AM

I'm with Paddy. We need more hot mens, and we need a WOMAN to do the column, because it's just so not the same thing as when one of the boys does it.

MORE SHIRTLESS MEN!
MORE SHIRTLESS MEN!
MORE SHIRTLESS MEN!

I wanted to gnaw on Farmiga's ass in Up in the Air.

Posted by: Julie at June 16, 2010 11:45 AM

#2 looks nothing like Kathleen Turner - are you sure that's the right picture?

Posted by: MM at June 16, 2010 11:52 AM

From that picture, I expect Diane Lane to kick Michael Keaton and scream, "This town needs an enema."

Posted by: Tracer Bullet at June 16, 2010 11:52 AM

None of these women are tantalizing or seductive. Maybe Kate Winslet.... 10 years ago.

Posted by: ben at June 16, 2010 11:53 AM

figgy...if it makes any difference. I'm shirtless right now. My hair is a bit windblown because I was just out on the porch sitting with my cup of coffee and book, enjoying the weather.

But oops, I tripped and fell into a very seductive pose, staring straight into a camera...

Posted by: PissBoy at June 16, 2010 11:56 AM

I also demand equal opportunity shirtlessness.

Figgy, I nominate you for the task. If you can't do it, then replica should. I'd love to see her wax eloquent about a shirtless chest.

Posted by: stardust at June 16, 2010 11:57 AM

Looks like we can include ben in the list of readers who want more shirtless men since he obviously swings that way.

Posted by: PissBoy at June 16, 2010 11:57 AM

MM...you don't recognize her because she was still a woman when that photo was taken.

Posted by: PissBoy at June 16, 2010 12:00 PM

because it's just so not the same thing as when one of the boys does it.

Figgy, don't you dare doubt Dustin's commitment to Shirtless Motion!

Posted by: branded at June 16, 2010 12:02 PM

It's been a while since I saw it but I'll say, Isabelle Adjani in La Reine Margot

Posted by: arrrghzi at June 16, 2010 12:05 PM

Also, I'm not sure if nailing tentacle monsters that transform into your husband count as adultery but, Isabelle Adjani in Possession too I guess.

Posted by: arrrghzi at June 16, 2010 12:07 PM

Sorry for triple posting but

http://image.toutlecine.com/photos/r/e/i/reine-margot-1994-05-g.jpg

yeah, I'd hit it

Posted by: arrrghzi at June 16, 2010 12:13 PM

Ladies, ladies, you're letting me down. Who said anything about just shirtless? I want full frontal Viggo.

Posted by: PaddyDog at June 16, 2010 12:13 PM

I saw the picture of Kate Winslet and I got far too excited because I thought "Romance and Cigarettes" would be on the list.

Foiled again!

Posted by: Earthmanjack at June 16, 2010 12:28 PM

Wow. Nice shot of kate Winslet there.
Gave me an iceberg that could sink the Titanic.
(That's the best I could do without a bunk referrence.)

Posted by: Odnon at June 16, 2010 12:34 PM

I nominate Greta Scacchi in both White Mischief and Presumed Innocent. Holy God she was a hot adulteress in both those movies.

Posted by: Raleigh at June 16, 2010 1:01 PM

Speaking of bunk references, I came across a possible alternative and it comes from a Glenn Beck book. This commentary and excerpt is from the Media Matters website -

1. Rule number one is: "Don't tease the panther"

Noah and Molly find themselves in bed together early in the book after a harrowing experience at a Founders' Keepers rally. They agree to sleep in bed together because Molly is too scared to sleep at home, but Molly insists that nothing sexual will take place. Noah agrees, on the condition that she "not do anything sexy." She presses her cold feet against his legs, and Noah responds:

"Suit yourself, lady. I'm telling you right now, you made the rules, but you're playing with fire here. I've got some rules, too, and rule number one is, don't tease the panther."

I've been trying to incorporate the phrase "tease the panther/don't tease the panther" into everyday conversation with Mr. Julien. He finds it simply delightful!

I'll tell you this, Colin Farrell teases my panther. I wouldn't kick Daniel Craig out of bed for teasing the panther. George Clooney? Tease the panther. Grrrowr!

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at June 16, 2010 1:22 PM

In the interest of equal opportunity shirtlessness, I hereby nominate Patrick Wilson, since he was a big ol' cheater in Little Children too. And I loves me some shirtless Patrick Wilson.

Posted by: Captain Tuttle at June 16, 2010 1:25 PM

@Zaga

But it's ALWAYS Ryan Reynolds. We need to spread the panther around (yep, lamely trying to reincorporate my own proposed catchphrase).

@ Whomever gets stuck doing this -

Could we make sure that there is grass on one or two of the playgrounds? I'm a grown up and I need to see chest hair on my men. Matthew Fox and Daniel Craig with beards also welcome.

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at June 16, 2010 1:32 PM

@Raleigh - And Charles Dance certainly held his own against her godessness in White Mischief. Terrible movie. Unbelievable eye candy.

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at June 16, 2010 1:35 PM

The last time I watched Daniel Craig act in a beard, he was screen fucking Anne Reid in "The Mother." I kinda got turned off after that.

Posted by: BWeaves at June 16, 2010 1:50 PM

We should probably skip the screen captures from The Mother then, but I stand by my request. Dude's hot I can't say as a I blame her.

Speaking of The Mother, way back in the 80's, my mum wandered in when I was watching the Emmys. I will never forget the kind of "oh my" voice she used when asking, "Whoooo is that?" when Tom Selleck walked on stage. It was awesome. She never says things like that. She has since added Pierce Brosnan to the list.

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at June 16, 2010 2:14 PM

Sorry Mrs. J. I refuse to acknowledge any term that comes from a Glen Beck book.

Posted by: PaddyDog at June 16, 2010 2:17 PM

I too would like shirtless men selected by someone of the fairer sex.
Mrs. Julien - I believe A. Jolie was an adulteress in Original Sin, but I have blocked most of that horrible movie from my memory.

Posted by: ninetwenteetoo at June 16, 2010 2:45 PM

@PaddyDog

Not even if we are co-opting it for our own ironic post-modern hipster-type uses?

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at June 16, 2010 3:08 PM

@Odnon

There were plenty of bunks on the Titanic.

Posted by: penelope at June 16, 2010 3:25 PM

Issues with who is and is not on this list aside, given the five above, #s 5-4 should be 2-1.

Posted by: Upstate at June 16, 2010 4:56 PM

Paddydog, based on the Pajibettes' rather volatile sexual preferences, I really don't think it matters. I think the women here drool over women way more than the men do. Case in point: Julie.

That said...Vera Farmiga in Up in the Air...dear lord. That's all.

Posted by: joker at June 16, 2010 4:59 PM

That picture of Kate Winslet is like a dream. Very Brigitte Bardot.

Posted by: becks at June 16, 2010 5:59 PM

Naomi Watts - We Don't Live Here Anymore and The Painted Veil.

Emily Watson - Separate Lies.

Virginia Madsen - The Hot Spot.

Juliette Binoche - Damage.

Julia Roberts - Closer.

Posted by: John W at June 16, 2010 6:58 PM

Oh yeah and...

Julie Christie and Lara Flynn Boyle in Afterglow.

Posted by: John W at June 16, 2010 7:10 PM

Eva Green in Kingdom of Heaven

Posted by: arrrghzi at June 17, 2010 2:14 AM

@figgy: I hereby charge you with the responsibility of all future teasing of panthers and second Paddydog in the astute observation that mere male shirtlessness will simply not suffice.

Posted by: cinekat at June 17, 2010 3:44 AM

I love Kate Winslet, but if Little Children is the piece of shit movie I'm thinking of, god damn that is one of the worst films I have ever seen. The dialogue is embarrassingly bad. That is all.

Posted by: carmensandiego at June 17, 2010 3:44 AM

Damage was a pile of hammered shit and self-indulgent claptrap about rich people's problems.

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at June 17, 2010 8:51 AM

John W, YOU should write these lists!

Posted by: lionel bitchie at June 17, 2010 8:52 AM

I'm beginning to feel as if every month or so one of these lists of women goes up and then once a year you fling together "Five Men Who Don't Have Beer Bellies" and expect us to be content with that. I demand equal rights on the sexy pictures.

@PaddyDog
are you dustin's alter-ego?
are you trying to get him write more about men.
I think we have enough of that.

While i initially said I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added - checkbox now each time a comment is added I receive four e-mails with the similar comment. Can there be any way it is possible to clear away me from that services? Thanks!
