It comes down to two:
Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) in Aliens or Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) in Terminator and T2.
Princess Leia is a distant third.
Any others?

True, and besides being an absolute knockout, she is also an absolute gem of a person- completely cool and normal.
Plus, with the Malaysian/HK-accented English, she's pretty much the whole package. |

You know what amazes me about her? Her grace and presence on screen (and I'm assuming off. Watching Reign of Assassins I coulda sworn she shot that back to back with Crouching Tiger as she seemingly hadn't aged a day. But the way she carries herself makes her a diamond despite not having "drop dead" gorgeous looks. |

She is a diamond and a real sweetheart. And I would absolutely call her gorgeous. No doubt. |
