This is a pretty good list. Hard to quarrel too much with most of the ranking. I would put Rita Hayworth at her peak considerably higher, but that's a quibble. I also don't put Audrey Hepburn nearly as high--just not my type, although i see the attraction.
Rita at her finest
How do you quarrel with that? Unless you don't like gingers.

I agree. Some of you guys are simply naming "sexy" actresses or beautiful women who just act. If you want to talk about REAL BEAUTIFUL ACTRESSES, I would go with Natalie Wood, Audrey Hepburn and even Katharine Hepburn (she was gorgeous in "Philadelphia Story").

I also rank Maureen O'Hara pretty high.
Yeah, I'd put her in the "cute" category, with someone like Leslie Caron.
she kinda looks like Rooney Mara in that pic.
Underrated: Julia Louis-Dreyfus
In the movie Mogambo they're fighting over Clark Gable
Kelly Hu:
How about Dorothy Stratten? Horrible untimely death, but stunningly beautiful.
Coincidentally, I think today is her 100th birthday
The opening of Rear Window is just astonishing. How anyone could watch that and not think she's the most beautiful woman to ever be on the planet is beyond me.
Yes, she was in Without a Trace, among other things. Pretty extensive film and TV resume'. And a total smokeshow.
Catherine McCormick
The French actress who played the sculptor (Chris in Philly will know...He knows all this kind of stuff).
Catherine Deneueve is hard to leave out.
Glad other folks acknowledge Jennifer Connelly and Jacqueline Bisset.

Juliette Binoche.
Piffle. As hot as she was, the Mustang was still hotter.
Quote:
was in black and white and probably a thousand already when I first saw her movies on tv...Olivia de Havilland.
Mine, too, in color, in The Adventures of Robin Hood. In black and white it was Madeleine Carroll in The Prisoner of Zenda.
I fell hard for C. Aubrey Smith!
Saw her in Farewell,My Lovely(75')
NAK, NAK, NAK, I was gonna put I have no idea what Natalie Wood is even doing on that list!!!!!
Liz Taylor, b&w doesn't do her justice because of the amazing and almost unique color of her eyes not really blue, almost indigo. Those eyes and full head of dark hair were mind blowing in their time.
Audrey Hepburn what an anorexic stick.
Give me Sophia Loren 24/7 baby.
Zeta-Jones too, grrrrrrr.
I guess I like darker gals.
Speaking of which, is Halle Berry on there? She is very, very fine too.
So many to choose from, so little time.
Apparently not John Clements, who spoiled his constant retelling of the Charge at Balaklava in "The Four Feathers".
Best known for her role as Carmen Sternwood in The Big Sleep, she was a favorite pin-up girl during WW II.
Her movie career never really took off, but she did work steadily in TV in it's early days.
Lauren Bacall's character's little sister in The Big Sleep, right? Loved when Bogart described her as "trying to sit on my lap while I was standing up" to Bacall.
Piffle? You been watching The George F. Will Sports Machine? "Piffle? Or not piffle?"
Anyway, the Charger was the real star of the chase:
[quote]I’ll tell you this,” said Max Balchowsky, “I was really impressed with the Mustang after I got done with it. I didn’t think it’d make that much difference beefing it up. Later, we took both cars out and went playing around with them over by Griffith Park (near Los Angeles). The Dodge, which was practically stock, just left the Mustang like you wouldn’t believe.” Ron Riner has similar recollections. “The Charger ran rings around the Mustang. We trimmed the tires down (on the Charger), we practically made them down to bicycle tires to try and handicap Hickman, and Bill just run them.” [quote]

Dirty Harry would have loved that car.

Great movie among so many other great ones from that era, including "The Prisoner of Zenda" mentioned above.
Most underrated of all time. My number one of number ones:
Dorothy Stratten
