On a Lighter Note ....

[prufrock21]

Besides reading the works of you-know-who, one of my favorite pastimes is reading biographies of cinema legends. This brings to mind the question, Who is the most beautiful actress in cinema of all time? On this occasion the only criterion being physical beauty, and you can choose any actress form around the world. My first choice is Elizabeth Taylor.


And the following I place a close second: Ava Gardner, Kim Novak, Catherine Deneuve, Greta Garbo, Gene Tierney, Dolores Del Rio and Hedy Lamarr.

Elizabeth Taylor was a beauty!

For me, I think Marilyn Monroe was stunning:

Also, Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly! Elegant ladies!

 

[morgan]

I vote for Angelina Jolie...

 

[Walter Oobleck]

all of them

I have always been fascinated by this face, so I include it as a close second.

Sweet thread . . .

Here's a few that I like . . .

 

[morgan]

Sophia Loren-such a classic beauty!

 

[Dana Jean]

I would go Elizabeth Taylor also

 

[morgan]

And let's not forget...

 

[MadamMack]

 

[danie]

Angie Dickinson, Helen Mirren, and who could forget...Raquel?

 

[morgan]

Angie Dickinson, Helen Mirren, and who could forget...Raquel?

I've never seen a picture of Helen Mirren when she was younger!

Having just watched Rear Window a couple nights ago, I think Grace Kelly needs to be added to this list

 

[Kurben]

I've like all your choices but think that Brigitte Bardot ought to have a place. She was very beautiful once upon a time.

 

[danie]

I've never seen a picture of Helen Mirren when she was younger!

Wasn't she beautiful? (Still is.)

 

[morgan]

Wasn't she beautiful? (Still is.)

Was...and is! Absolutely!

 

[HollyGolightly]

I have to agree with all of you - the classic women: Audrey, Lena, Marilyn, Elizabeth, Raquel. If I could look like anyone in the world, I think it would be Raquel Welch.

My husband likes these two

I really love Ryan Reynolds (The Proposal is one of my favorites) but I do think his first wife Scarlett Johansson is more beautiful than his current wife, Blake Lively-IMHO. But, needless to say-I wouldn't mind looking like either one of 'em. I always wanted to be a blonde, too!

 

[asoul]

I like Vivien Leigh.

 

[carrie's younger brother]

So many great beauties already mentioned! Liz, Vivien, Marilyn, Ava, Sophia, Grace...

I don't think anyone has mentioned two of my all-time crushes from childhood:


Ann Margaret

Natalie Wood
