NFT: Off-season special: most beautiful actresses ever.

manh george : 7/26/2016 11:46 am
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 just don't think she's #1. More like #5 or 6.


I also rank Maureen O'Hara pretty high.

Some of us just don't think Audrey Hepburn is better looking  
Greg from LI : 7/26/2016 2:46 pm : link
than a lot of other actresses. No one's saying she wasn't beautiful, but this is the big leagues here. I definitely think she's nowhere near #1. 20-30 range, probably.
Where the hell was Carter!?

Yeah, I'd put her in the "cute" category, with someone like Leslie Caron.

she kinda looks like Rooney Mara in that pic.
Lynda Carter was smoking  
Greg from LI : 7/26/2016 3:01 pm : link
I'm guessing the reason she wasn't included was because she wasn't really in movies - her cameo in Super Troopers was the only thing I've ever seen her in other than Wonder Woman.

Underrated: Julia Louis-Dreyfus


It's a tossup

Between Grace Kelly and Ava Gardner. The fact that they were both sluts makes them even more appealing.

In the movie Mogambo they're fighting over Clark Gable
Two more faves.

Kate Upton was in that Cameron Diaz movie. Is she considered an actress?
Is Eva Marie-Saint missing from that list?  
MOOPS : 7/26/2016 3:19 pm : link
I didn't see her.


How about Dorothy Stratten? Horrible untimely death, but stunningly beautiful.
Rosalyn Sanchez was in Without a Trace, right?  
Greg from LI : 7/26/2016 3:23 pm : link
I agree, she's gorgeous. The accent never hurts either.
A favorite of mine who didn't make the list....

Ellen Barkin. She had quirky features, which meant she wasn't going to age well, but when she was in her prime....

Grace Kelly  
lugnut : 7/26/2016 3:30 pm : link
has gotta be #1.

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.
Dont know if she's the most beautiful ever

Yes, she was in Without a Trace, among other things. Pretty extensive film and TV resume'. And a total smokeshow.

Rachel Ward

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.

Mine, too, in color, in The Adventures of Robin Hood. In black and white it was Madeleine Carroll in The Prisoner of Zenda.

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.

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]
Halle Berry is on the list  
Greg from LI : 7/26/2016 4:22 pm : link
but lower than you'd think
Didn't see her on the list either..  
Vin R : 7/26/2016 4:24 pm : link
This list needs a little more color. So how about Aisha Tyler?

Dirty Harry would have loved that car.
Dirty Harry drove an actual cop car, a 1968 Ford Custom  
Greg from LI : 7/26/2016 4:49 pm : link
It was the bare-bones version of the Galaxie, mostly bought by police departments and cab companies. At least that's what he drove in Dirty Harry. In Magnum Force I think he had a convertible.

Great movie among so many other great ones from that era, including "The Prisoner of Zenda" mentioned above.
