Description

"There was blood and fire and thunder... and something awful was moving in the middle of it."

WOS = Women of Science.

Now for a classic Scifi lady, Altaira Morbius from one of the greatest Scifis ever made: Forbidden Planet ('57). Those who know me know I watch a TON of movies, so when something's on the top of my love forever list you know I mean it! :3
It's based on The Tempest, takes place in space, has an incredible mystery, great script, awesome effects (which includes astounding monster animation done by the folks at Disney), etc. etc. I can't sing its praises enough.
As a funny side note, the robot from the movie, Robby the Robot was such a good actor he got to make cameo appearances in The Twilight Zone and Gremlins. XD
But anyway, watch it when you can and put down your phone so you can really immerse yourself in it. ^.^

Altaira here is the leading lady and only woman character in the movie. She's very educated--she's been versed in mathematics, logic, physics, geology and biology.

:star: Now available as a print, iphone case, t-shirt and more!

:pointr: More Women of Science

Very nice depiction of Altaira. I want to correct you on a couple of points... The correct spelling of the robot’s name is Robby. A minor thing, I realize, but there are some who are sticklers on this. Also, Disney did not do the effects. A fellow by the name of Joshua Meador, who was a contract animator for Disney, was “loaned” to MGM to supervise and design the effects. Next time you watch the film, note how he is listed in the opening credits.
