Attached Link: The most beautiful film stars?

Here's a link grabbed from another thread, which I think deserves wider attention.

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.

I agree with the idea of Bacall at 17 - a figure of her in Poser would be a dream come true.

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 always thought she looked a lot like Shannon Doherty

Like he says its personal taste, my list wouldn't even have Liz Taylor on it and no no no to Jolie and Zeta Jones, and where is Felicity Kendall :o)......Steve

I've got to admit that if I could "build" a woman from a kit, she'd look like Audrey Heburn (although I'd probably go with the early to mid-60's verison). Hey--wait a minute...I can build a woman from a kit!

I've always loved Meredith Salenger. :)

- Veronica Lake - Well, at least the Gidget fans and Sister Bertrile acolytes haven't drawn their knives - 'they hate me, they really hate me.' Hedy - Shannon? Shakira - Hillary, Stephen Hawking - Bush. Nora Desmond said that the pictures got small. I suspect in this case both the actresses and the movies have gone downhill a bit. The whole concept of glamour just ain't what it used to be. Putting on a Versace doesn't provide an injection of class unfortunately. Bacall and Loren are about the last of an era along with perhaps Lena Horne who was know more for her singing than her acting.

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

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.

o.k., it's not too unbalanced. mostly anglos (including alan and hedley), one asian and one latina. now how about if somebody nominate an african? I can think of a few that are prettier than doherty

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.

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.

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!).

One who was taken from us too soon, and in the infancy of her career ... Sharon Tate.

Thinking of this stuff and looking at these pictures, I'm reminded that "beautiful" as an objective, aesthetic view doesn't do much for me; it's "objectivity" masking unavoidable cultural presumptions. A high-breasted Dahomey woman with "thick" lips, "flat" nose, and regal bearing will never make the cut. My nominees for "most beautiful" women would all be ones with "It," a kind of transfigured sex appeal. It was not beauty but an intangible that created beauty, a sense that you were looking at a challenging, interesting, and sensual human being rather than a well-formed squirrel. Some of these women have it. Bacall had it, and both Hepburns in quite opposite ways. Lamarr had it a bit, and Shannon Doherty, Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears and Carmen Electra couldn't find it with a metal detector and a bloodhound. Interesting, and telling, that the non-Americans above generally have it, and American beauties, refugees from our Puritanism, which remains what it is even inside out, do not. For most of the current American beauties, "sexy" means available, communicated by a clothed beaver and a CFM grin on the verge of drooling, rather than the potential for sensual pleasure telegraphed by, say, Hedy Lamarr's eyes. They learned the craft of sex and never noticed there was art. Even the great prostitutes of history were not remembered for their pneumatic orifices, gals. And yes, beauty is about sex; face it. Helen Mirren, Ellen Barkin, Buffy Ste. Marie, and the goddess, Marilyn Monroe, who could step through the camera lens into any room where you were. I dunno who Meredith Salenger is, but I'm in love. M

Redheads? How about Julianne Moore? DROOL :P

An up and coming young lady with magical eyes - Kristin Kreuk. She's a mixture of Dutch and Chinese.

I like Nicole Kidman when she's got red hair. She has classic strong cheekbones and can sparkle those eyes.

I'm seeing a trend here. Eyes. "It's" in the eyes.

*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.*

Like so many other Hollywood icons, Veronica Lake's life didn't end well. Her Hollywood career was basically over by the early 1950's. By the 1960's, she was working as a barmaid, and living in cheap hotels.

As she herself was supposed to have said -- "she was a rebel". I interpet that to mean that she was hard to get along with. She wasn't well-liked by many individuals who knew her personally. Most self-proclaimed 'rebels' are little more than self-centered people who attempt to justify their own inherent selfishness by proclaiming themselves to be rebels or mavericks -- in an attempt to somehow turn their bad/rude behavior into a virtue.

Something To Do At 3:00AM 

Actually... for a man who has "IT" I would have to vote for Tommy Lee Jones, and Ben Kingsley.

Kingsley for his eyes. OMG he has the most beautiful eyes.

I wouldn't call him beautiful, but he does have a very commanding presence.
BTW - He was born "Krishna Bhanji"
Ben Kingsley rolls a little easier off the tongue...

Tommy Lee Jones... the craggier he gets, the more interesting he gets. He has "It" I think. One of the few male actors who do.
To me he's a bit like wine... he gets better with age. :)
He's not "Beautiful" either, but there is just something about him that makes me think of him as sexy.
I think it's that wicked gleam he has in his eyes. (Met him once. There really is a glint there that hints at "I'm gonna get up to mischief, and you can't stop me.")

And btw - I think Brad Pitt has the same bone structure in the face as Robert Redford. They will look very much alike when Pitt gets older, and I'm betting he'll still look good at 60.
But he doesn't have "It". He's just a pretty guy.

As for "Beautiful"...
Johnny Depp - is very good looking and has "It"
A lot of people are going to scream now...

Rob Lowe - What I like about him (aside from his looks) is that he is very private, and his family is everything to him. (Allegedly)
He just seems too nice to be real lol

Xenophonz, you seem to have more or less nailed it. Romy does look different in most of the photos I've seen of her. I've had a heck of a time trying to get her face Poserized. I don't think I'll ever get it right. What's that condition where you have trouble recognizing patterns of facial features? Dysphasia? I don't know... but the effort with Romy has made me feel like I must have that condition. Feh. As far as screen actresses go, what about Linda Darnell? She's lovely, in that Zorro film, although I never saw any of her other work. And I would have mentioned Yvonne Craig earlier, just because I've got this hangup, y'see, but I think she shone more as a TV actress than a screen actress.... I can't get used to this new forum setup. Sob. Too much change! :)

"..."beautiful" as an objective, aesthetic view..." There is no such animal. I think any "objective" standard is merely an excuse to promote someone's personal tastes - even if the someone is an entire culture or epoch. Beauty? Spock said it best, IDIC. Lena Horne - still lovely and alive, not having died a tragic death.
