KAREN BLACK! At least, back in the 70's she was. I know you'll say Karen Black is an actress, not a composer. She did write and perform all the songs for the 1973 horror film THE PYX. So technically that makes her a "film composer". She also wrote and performed the song Memphis for Robert Altman's NASHVILLE.

But she hasn't actually scored any films, so she still doesn't count. By your criteria, Lucy Lawless could qualify because she did one piece for Xena: Warrior Princess...
Zoe Poledouris. Gorgeous woman, made a cameo appearance in Starship Troopers too. Girl fills out a dress like a 52 weeks fill out a calendar.
Dan Goldwasser took this picture of an unnamed assisstant during the recording of Giacchino's Medal Of Honor Airborne. She looks *exactly* like a woman I was involved with some years ago.
Looks-wise Bryan Tyler is probably the prettiest, but Thomas Newman may be the most handsome. He looks more like an actor or a male model who should be hawking cigarettes than what you might envision a composer to look like. Actual sexiness usually goes beyond just looks and really requires seeing someone living and breathing (filmed or in person) which is rare for most of us since we tend to only see pictures of composers most of the time.
I've read that Goldsmith was thought to be something of the cool, pretty boy composer in his early years based on a combination of his looks, his demeanor and his stylish dress. I remember going many, many years without ever knowing what he looked like!
I have a CD of Anne Dudley and she looks quite nice on the cover. Debbie Wiseman also has a cute Kate Bush type vibe about her. And I vaguely remember thinking Laura Karpman and Deb Lurie were cute when I saw pictures of them. I don't find men sexy! Sorry. But I always though Elliot Goldenthal looked cool.
P.S. Love Morricone too, but he's too much like a papa...seriously.
I didn't know you had these feelings about me. That's quite a thing to say out in public!
Back on the subject... I've never looked at composers as "sexy". That's just degrading their dignity (in my opinion) from what they truly do: write beautiful music. That's it.

The songs she wrote for THE PYX are the score. There is no other music as I recall.

Okay, I'll accept that - but it all comes down to this... does she do it for a living?
