"It is good to see ourselves as
others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we
are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not
angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to
say." - Ghandi
What about some of the following?
Lotte Lehmann
Marlene Dietrich
and the utterly luminous Louise Brooks (above)
And on the other side of the coin, what about Alain Delon when he was in his twenties? With respect to those who made these models, but he makes Don, James, etc. look rather flat...
(In case anyone wonders, no, I'm not that old, but the older stars had a glamour that I've never found in any of the modern stars...)

I'm rather surprised at some of the overall violations of the base rule: "For actresses to be included on this page, they must have a history of distinguished or notably commercial appearances in cinema." Sarah Michelle Geller has been in a few mildly successful B-movies, but is far more famous for her Buffy TV work. There are a number of other not very famous actresses on the list: Catherine McCormack Isabelle Adjani (more famous in France) Claudia Cardinale (more famous in Italy and as Andy Williams' wife) Madeleine Carroll (the photo at the link reminds me of Jean Harlow, who remains better known today) Teresa Wright (I didn't recognize the name, but she's at least been in some famous movies) Sadie Frost
It seems a bit strange that no one has mentioned two of the women who have defined "screen goddess" - Marylin Monroe and Raquel Welch.
Before they made me they broke the mold!

Any list that doesn't include THE hottest woman on the planet is suspect. It becomes ridiculous to the extent of crack induced rambling when Sally Field, Ally McGraw, Catherine Ross, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Reese Witherspoon, Teresa Wright and Claire Daines (Claire Daines!?!?!) make the list and she doesn't. And I'm not even talking about her other assets here - just the face.All hail Salma!

We have to be careful about the men. Alan Rickman OK, that should fend off any anguished howls from certain quarters. Antonio Banderas, Cary Grant, David Niven, James Stewart, Richard Burton, Christopher Lee; all fine actors, but the film roles for a man don't depend on the perfection of their appearancex
Before I trash whose not on the list, let me applaud the one's that are. Taylor: yeah she belongs there but not a No. 1. After the film 'Laura' & "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" Gene Tierney was considered the most beautiful woman in the world. Good choice there. At least Lauren Bacall was mentioned, but she belongs in the top 5. I've never considered Bergman to be that beautiful but alot of people do, so I'll concede here position there. First of all, any list like that that doesn't have Sophia Loren is a dumb list. Where the heck is Selma and Halle? Where's Ava Gardner, Marilyn Monroe, Kim Novak, Veronica Lake and a host of others. I consider Audrey Hepburn to be average at best Katherine Hepburn was better looking. Sally Field and Ali Macgraw are plain looking. I could go on and on. This list is like the H20. Some of it is good, most of it is underserving.

For women, I tend draw inspiration from Jodie Foster, Demi Moore, and Bridget Fonda. For men it's Bruce Willis and Jason Statham. I think it really depends upon the genre that you are going for. Veronica Lake and William Holden were inspirations when I was doing my noir work. It also really depends upon what figure you're working with. Neftis' Elle has a quirky Sandra Bullock/Julia Roberts feel while V3 has a softer, more conventional look.
Hwer is my collection, each figue is based on Eve 4, and is either modeled on a real actrresses face, or is a slight variation thereof. Introducing: Olga, Aishwarya & Aishwarya, Stephanie & Stephanie -a flavor for everyone.
DPH PS: kate beckinsale is th emost beutiful and talented to date.

STOP PALESTINIAN CHILD ABUSE!!!! ISLAMIC HATRED OF JEWS
@Miss Nancy: african and asian beauties, huh? No problem! How about Alek Wek and Joan Chen? I keep several images of them when morphing my own characters because IMHO both look "authentic".

Some gentlemen? How about Tony Leung Ka Fai and Lenny Kravitz (okay, he's not a native african... I know)?!

I've just scrolled up and down and found that are a lot ladies that have remarkable eyebrows - not those thin (painted?) lines but real brows what gives them a lot of attitude. And Anton: you're right - and I even liked Elisabeth Taylor's look when she a bit older than on the photo you've posted.

I grabbed that link simply because it was the first one that had a picture I wanted. I have to agree that their choices are questionable to me as well - but I suppose it is a jumping off point. The young Elizabeth Taylor (pictured) was better looking to me. Se became perhaps more regal as she aged but less beautiful. Judy Garland probably peaked when she was driving the munchkins crazy on The Wizard of Oz, not to condone the little fellow's pedophilic urges of course. Marilyn, Jayne Mansfield (actually saw her as a child), Mamie Van Doren were all more sex symbols than beauties. Taht's not to say they didn't have attractive faces but I don't know that most fans of the time weren't more interested in the 37-23-36 (MM's vitals - studio claim) than the faces. I'd like to see more foreign faces as well. When you're talking movies though, Hollywood has always been the standard. Everyone knows the American stars but Americans usually only see foreign actors when they appear in our films. The internet and other factors are changing that gradually. I think the appeal of the 40's era personalities has as much to do with the period as the faces. Stars have always been America's version of the kind of royalty that I think people have an innate longing for. It's something that with a few exceptions like the Kennedys our other national figures don't have. Today's stars are too human and too 'common' for lack of a better word. There is no studio system to protect their images and today, any publicity, no matter how bizarre is considered a plus. Can you imagine Bogie jumping up and down on a couch over his love for Bacall? Would Tracy and Hepburn gloried in a lurid affair or messy public divorces? The endlessly intrusive press is part of the problem but I think that in many cases, the stars are willing participants in the feeding frenzy. There's simply an attitude that doesn't seem to exist anymore. Today people don't even care about the way they dress. You see major box office stars appear on talk shows dressed in ratty, ragged clothing or ridiculous costumes more often than not and then they behave like giggling schoolgirls or idiots. There are exceptions - George Clooney comes to mind. If I looked as good as that man does in a well tailored suit, I'd sleep in one. I suppose it's an effort to be accessible to the fans but I think idols need to be a bit mysterious. You can be gracious and open but when royalty becomes too much a part of the rabble, they lose their magic.

I don't have a picture, but I vote for Romy Schneider. Heh. My grandfather had to escort Veronica Lake around his military base one evening back when he was a WWII marine. He doesn't have anything nice to say about her.... I wonder how many of these screen queens would actually have been nice people to hang around with. Hmm.

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking. He apologizes for this. He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.
Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below. His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
Romy Schneider... as I looked up for a photo of her I found that she looks absolutely different on every single photo, I never noted this before.
As you mentioned glamour and a slight kind of distance I immediatly thought on Marlene Dietrich, for me she's the embodiment of a screen-godess (and no woman ever looked better in a smoking!).

Here's a link grabbed from another thread, which I think deserves wider attention.lmckenzie said:
Perhaps one might find some inspiration at this link. Of course they are blind, gauche and tasteless phillistines for putting Bacall at 17 and I'm sorry but Sally Field does not belong on the list at all.
He then went on to recommend Hedy Lamarr.
Some of these ladies make Vicky look rather dull. Message edited on: 04/03/2006 02:22
