Beautiful Women

I like to look at beautiful women. (and men, of course--but that's another thread). I like to look at movies, etc. and see how the styles have changed.

Who do you think represent the most beautiful women of the 20th/21st century?

Salma Hayek, Sarah Chalke, Joey Lauren Adams, Greta Garbo, Lucille Ball (she's great in, "Miss Grant Takes Richmond"), Milla Jovovich, Samantha Brown (travel channel), Megan McCormick (travel channel), Justine Shapiro (travel channel). Just to name a few.

I don't know from "the 20th/21st century"--I wasn't around for most of it.

But I'll always have a soft spot for Winona Ryder, Kirsten Dunst, Jodie Foster, and Judy Garland.

but cameras have been!

and, not to fault your taste, but I find your list a bit odd. Smart? Talented? Yes. Most beautiful?

Well, tastes differ, as do styles of beauty. Being a small blond myself, I tend to like statuesque brunettes--Sophia Loren and Salma Hayek, for example. But there are lots of beautiful women out there.

Not me, alas!

Jennifer Hawkins..


Megan Gale...(below)
They are both gorgeous Australian chickie babes, but they appeal to me as they are both down to earth and just great personalities.

Jessica Alba is wwaaaaaayy up there on my list.

(I don't like skinny) Greta Garbo, Elizabeth Taylor, Vivien Leigh, Lucille Ball, Brigitte Bardot, Jean Harlowe, Lauren Bacall, Marylin Monroe, Raquel Welch...
My top two are Audrey Hepburn and most beautiful... Sophia Loren


Modern two exceptions are Charlize Theron and, sometimes, Angelina Jolie.

.I've always thought Uma has a classic beauty.

Now I think Roselyn Sanchez (from Without a Trace) might just be the most beautiful woman who ever lived!

Kudos to UT for the Phoebe Cates!

I'd like to add this quote:

Yet her features were not of that regular mould which we have been falsely taught to worship in the classical labors of the heathen. "There is no exquisite beauty," says Bacon, Lord Verulam, speaking truly of all the forms and genera of beauty, without some strangeness in the proportion."
--Edgar Allen Poe, Ligeia

I agree about Uma, a grievous oversight on my part. Also, damn I can't think of her name, black lady on Ugly Betty now, also played the Queen Of Trash in Elmo goes to Grouchland.
