Dr. Crusher was so hot

Nice screenshot, a real class act.
Nobody tell him about Celebrity Nude Fakes, we might not hear back from him.

I liked Dr. Crusher, and I've enjoyed Gates McFadden at conventions. She's not hard to look at, but I don't get calling her "hot". Honestly, the only time I've ever thought she looked really good was in the scene when the Duras sisters were looking at her in disgust through Geordi's VISOR in Generations - it was like extra care was taken to make her the opposite of how the sisters were reacting to her.
She is much older now (67). You know: Bone density and such...
My mother is 66, and she is 20cm smaller than she was 20 years ago.
Well, some go with a "fake until proven otherwise" mindset through their life.
I know that. Tell us something nobody knows.
It's more of a "fake because that's what the evidence clearly suggests" mindset in this case.
Dr. Crusher was constantly annoying, as was her walk. I noticed in the long shots that she was often crossing her feet as she walked - like a model on the runway putting herself on show. It took me out of the character because no one walks like that except models, and so I saw Gates McFadden trying to look model-ish instead of Dr. Crusher.
Her worst and most irresponsible character moment was in "High Ground" when Dr. Crusher attempts to tend to the wounded bodies against Captain Picard's direct orders to return to the ship. So of course she is abducted, her insubordination putting more people and the mission at risk.
Dr. Crusher's best and most accurate character moment was when Q turned her into a barking Irish Setter in "True Q." The hair color and dialog was perfection for all the qualities of the character.

Stuff like this thread: Not helping.
I've no problem with that High Ground episode and she has some other great episodes. The episode where Worf has the problem with spine is a good one too.
But there's other episodes that misfire. That silly Scottish episode and I maybe going against the grain on this one but she seemed somehow ill-fitting and unconvincing being captain in that lacklustre Lore-Borg cliffhanger.
And I dunno about the "there's something I want to tell you..." running gag she had to trot out before what ever misfortune just happened to intervene.

This thread is kind of getting a "Babe of the Week" feel. Thought we had moved past all that.
Maybe she was inspired by the line in the TNG writer's bible, where it said that Beverly Crusher's "has the natural walk of a striptease queen."* Don't forget that McFadden was/is a dancer.
