Last year, the Picture Slot went to Katee Sackhoff from Battlestar Galactica, this year it's Emma Caulfield in her terrifying bunny costume from Buffy. The list is certainly not lacking in fabulous babes, and Jack O'Halloran's role as the Kryptonian villain Non from the Christopher Reeve Superman movies also counts as iconic.

Many happy returns to all the living on the list, and to the late Edward Mulhare, thanks for the memories.
