    According to the Wikipedia, the Pleiades is a cluster of middle-aged hot stars located in the constellation of Taurus.

    My nominees are the following (all born Taurus and in no particular order):

    • Valerie Bertinelli
    • Cate Blanchette
    • Michelle Pfeiffer
    • Renee Zellweger
    • Uma Thurman
    • Andie McDowell
    • Carmen Electra

    Any dissent from this selection?

    Carmen Electra is disqualified because she married Dennis Rodman, otherwise the list is pretty good.  Cate is going to win, of course, unless the Internet is stupid.

    Good point, Hank. Plus Carmen is 39, and I had to bend the rules (like gravity) to put her on the list. So we need a replacement. A star born Taurus between 1951 and 1971, inclusive (current age 40-60).

    I have found a replacement for Carmen Electra ==> Francis Ondiviela. She is a Spanish-Mexican actress starring in soap opersa such as 'Marimas', 'Gate Salvaje', and 'Accoralada'. More importantly, she was Miss World (1980) and contending Miss Universe (1981). The latter makes her a Seven Sister by definition.
