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.

Brigitte Bardot:
Ann-Margaret shaking her gorgeous booty in Viva Las Vegas
Subtract Kim Novak and Ursula Andress. Add Donna Reed and Lee Remick (two under-rated beauties)
Grace Kelly
great pair of togas. And great everything else
How about Rachel Ward,Kathleen Turner,and Faye Dunaway
Mine, too, in color, in The Adventures of Robin Hood. In black and white it was Madeleine Carroll in The Prisoner of Zenda.

was in black and white and probably a thousand already when I first saw her movies on tv...Olivia de Havilland.

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.

Legends of the Fall
One of my favorite yard sale finds was an anthology of Yank Magazine from WWII. There are a lot of those pinup girls who were gorgeous but never achieved stardom as actresses.
How quickly they forget....
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.
