hey hey!
For me it has to be Gail Russell, I just love her in "Angle and the Badman" and "Wake of the Red Witch", she's so innocent and cute. 
As a matter of info, the least favorite of Dukes women was Vera Ralston (The Fighting Kentuckian). It was alleged that after the picture was made, he threatened to leave Republic Pictures permanently if he ever had to work with her again! Appearantly, she may have been an Olympic Skater, but because she grew up Czech, her accent was too thick and her acting was passable at best.
