[The Doctor.]

13. Unless I'm mistaken, that's a picture of Katherine Deneuve..

at the age of 50.

[tjdee]

Catch one of her films.

She is unreal beautiful. I sat through an entire film of hers which sucked because she was so beautiful. And she acted that way too.

And I'm a hetero female who thinks that blondes are overrated in terms of being oh so beautiful.

I'm wondering if she'd be my choice...don't know.

[Misunderestimator]

60. Wow.... you must rent "The Hunger"

(that's Susan Sarandon she's devouring there)

[RetroLounge]

132. Ah, The Hunger...

That was our "first-date" movie with my ex-wife...

Haven't seen it since.

surprised nobody picked sophia or marilyn

[LSdemocrat]

159. I agree

[phylny]

11. Grace Kelly n/t

[Southsideirish]

17. When she comes into "Jeff's" apt in "Rear Window" for the first

time I think the cameraman must have near fainted -she was so naturally incredibly beautiful

[RC]

12. Karen Valentine Does it for me.

[cruadin]

90. "Room 222" ---it was on TV at just the time when I was...

"discovering" myself; she figured prominently in that exploration.

[tabasco]

14. Kim Bassinger !

And she's a Dem ! (I think...)

[gizmo1979]

[Gabi Hayes]

20. most beautiful primates

[uppityperson]

22. You are. Or if you're male, me. n/t

[devilgrrl]

23. There's this brunette that all my straight male friends just swooned for.

She's not famous, she's just some beautiful woman that people see everyday - she had to beat them off with a stick. Anyone who has to resort to such drastic action qualifies as most beautiful.

[The Doctor.]

24. Tough one...

Either Liz Taylor...




Or Michelle Pfeiffer...

[BOSSHOG]

25. Geena Davis

Thelma and Louise
A League of Their Own
The Fly

I think she is extremely beautiful (in second place behind my wife).

[CTyankee]

26. JACKIE KENNEDY!!!

Just fabulous. Nobody like her since.

[forgethell]

27. Nicole Kidman!!!

No other famous woman comes close. Of course, my wife is the most beautiful woman of all time.

[Cleita]

28. Ava Gardner.

Even Elizabeth Taylor once said that she thought she was more beautiful than Liz herself.

[zmdem]

29. Tough question, with a lot of good answers

Number one is:

My wife

Runners up, in no particular order:

Elizabeth Taylor
Hedy Lamar
Louise Brooks


In the end, most women are pretty good lookin', which is a good thing ;)

[Quakerfriend]

30. Audrey Hepburn hands down!

[cubschicago]

I have her one and only music album, Divine Comedy.

I loved her performance in The Messenger.

52. 2nd that

[Mz Pip]

35. Greta Garbo

She was stunning. I'd have to go with Catherine Deneueve as a close second.

Mz Pip
:dem:

[bettyellen]

54. did you know greta had a nose job....and was one of the first

famous people to get a serious "swan style" makeover....
i saw that on a documentary about her and they had old pics of her and i remember it vividly because when she was brunette and had her old face, she looked a great deal like my best friend.

[ScreamingMeemie]

105. She also had her back molars removed...to give her that "hollow

cheeked" look.

[ThorsHammer]

39. Adriana Lima for me

[tx_dem41]

41. Thors, we need a picture please....

for judging purposes, of course.

[ThorsHammer]

45. Coming up......

[ThorsHammer]

49. Hope this works....

[tx_dem41]

53. Mighty fine. The judges are pleased.

Thanks!

[Castilleja]

65. I think she is one of the most...

stunning models out there, with beautiful eyes. Otherwise, how can you pick *one* out of the entire century? Hard to do!

[ThorsHammer]

72. Agreed

Obviously the others are very attractive too, but for me her eyes are the game winner.

[Gabi Hayes]

40. how quickly we forget real beauty, bred in the bone

[tx_dem41]

42. Gabi...please step away from the keyboard.

Take a break, for awhile. PLEASE!!!!

[Gabi Hayes]

44. help....must.keep.looking

must.keep.typing

[ornotna]

51. Holy shit!

It's Mr.Spock in drag.

[last_texas_dem]

140. The 'pugs think she's gorgeous

Her and Ann Coulter... I'm amazed at just how low they set their standards. And Coulter's the one with the audacity to claim that all liberal women are unattractive...

[proud patriot]

43. Ann Margret

us redheads got to stay together

[mindfulNJ]

46. Hedy Lamarr

Beautiful AND brilliant.

[Gabi Hayes]

56. I linked to a page w/her pix......there are some real stunners there

she was SMART as hell....you know about her inventions in WWII?

[roguevalley]

59. Hedi Lamar's face was so perfect, it measured equally on both

sides. That is tremendously rare. What a smart dame too. There is a movie, silent of course, of her in her country running around the woods and swimming in the nude. PRogressive woman, our Hedi.

[AngryAmish]

117. Didn't she also invent RADAR

or did some of the groundbreaking work for it.

[enigmatic]

80. yep!

"Samson And Delilah" was pure cheese, but man, what a complete babe!

[Malikshah]

122. That's Hedley!

Get me to Rock Ridge! Where's Lily von Schtupp?

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

143. That's Hedley...

couldn't resist.

[ScreamingMeemie]

47. Zora, from Joe Millionaire. A beautiful, natural looking woman...

with a conscience even. :hi:

[El Supremo]

48. Myrna Loy n/t

[GRLMGC]

77. She was a strange looking creature nt

[idlisambar]

50. Aishwarya Rai

This century too

[tjdee]

57. Here's a pic for all y'all who don't know:

She'd be in my top five...don't remember many of her films though (and I've seen a few). Not sure how she is in actual acting, but she is extremely beautiful.

[MrScorpio]

58. Sophia Loren

The motherlode

http://www.fotopalmas.com/home.htm?http://www.fotopalmas.com/_indici/Loren_Sophia.htm

[KittyWampus]

136. Second Sophia Loren

[chookie]

142. Assolutomente

[Glenda]

61. Me... and some of the other DU Women

:)

Doncha think? ;)

[tx_dem41]

63. Of course, Glenda....

We always overlook the ones we love the most! :-)

[arismomkoofie]

64. Crap, I was just about post this about ME!

Oh well, you win

[TOhioLiberal]

62. In my opinion:

Jeri Ryan


Yep, I'm a Trek geek :)

[DS1]

125. Looks like a mainframe came all over her eyebrow

:shrug:

[progmom]

126. ...and she indirectly helped get....

....Barack Obama elected! :)

[Tom_Foolery]

66. Susan Hayward n/t

[leanin_green]

68. Okay, there were three for me, in this order.

Elizabeth Taylor, when she started out.
Then along came Raquel Welch, are you kidding me?!
Then it was Veronica Hammil, of Hill Street Blues fame.
And then, Jennifer Connelly when I first saw her in "The Rocketeer." Oh man!

[NV Whino]

69. Wow, tough one

Greta Garbo
Grace Kelly
Cathering Deneuve (recently saw her as a mature woman in a lousy movie, but still wow)
Fanny Argent (not sure about the spelling--same movie as above)
Sofia Loren
Salma What's her name

[ThorsHammer]

71. Salma's last name is Hayek

[NV Whino]

81. Thanks. That's her. Gorgeous lady.

[Flaxbee]

123. Was the movie "8 Women"?

It's Fanny Ardant. She is beautiful, too. I never really thought Catherine Deneuve was so stunning - pretty, yes, but nothing memorable IMHO. For the blonde stunner look, I think Julie Christie is far more gorgeous.

Also on the list are Ingrid Bergman, Sohpia Loren, Hedy Lamar, Vivien Leigh.

[NV Whino]

158. Julie Christie, yes

I woke up in the midle of the night and said, "Oh my God, I forgot Julie Christie!" She is still as stunning (if not more so) as she was as a younger woman.

And yes, the movie was 8 Women. the movie itself was a real disappointment. Not made well at all. What a shame with all those great women in it.

[yellowdogintexas]

73. tie or draw amongst the following;

young Elizabeth Taylor
Catherine Deneuve
Grace Kelly
Salma Hayek
Isabella Rosselini
Robin Wright Penn

[MissMillie]

74. Isabella Rossilini

I don't know if I spelled that correctly, but I think she's a knock-out.... even now.

[Joe Power]

85. She gets my vote, too.

I find her beauty to be literally heartbreaking.

[Feathered Fish]

92. I agree

She has very unique features and is quite a knockout. It also helps that she is a complete sweetie - I met her once and asked for an autograph (I couldn't help it) and she was more that willing to do so.

[Rabrrrrrr]

75. Audrey Hepburn, Susan Lucci, Chandralekha

And not just beautiful on the outside, but an amazing artist and spirit within - incredible dances, and smashing down sexual barriers in India. What a woman!

[UdoKier]

76. Ingrid Bergman

Lauren Bacall is a close second.

[ooglymoogly]

99. bacall one of the great beauties of body and mind

[arwalden]

79. It's A TIE: Hedy Lamarr, Audrey Hepburn

[Matt Jordan]

82. My mom

Here she is with my brother last Christmas:

[phylny]

83. WOW! Your mom is beautiful. n/t

[Misunderestimator]

84. Wow... She looks like my sister.

[jarab]

86. Virginia Mayo (c1950) . n/t

...O...

[luckypunch]

87. Another vote for Hedy Lamar

[lpbk2713]

88. That's HEADLEY!

[underpants]

89. Catherine Zeta-Jones

[Bitter Betty]

154. I'm in agreement

She's a classic beauty.

[KlatooBNikto]

101. Jessica Lange. Her scene in the kitchen with Jack Nicholson in

The Postman Always Rings Twice must rank among the sexiest and most intelliegently acted scene of all time. Her Fay Wray reprise in King Kong was was also a stunner. And to top it all off she was absolutely riveting as the tragic Frances. Great actress and a great soul.

[Shopaholic]

103. Grace Kelly

[NewJeffCT]

104. Well, after my wife, it is a tossup

Elizabeth Taylor
Grace Kelly
Halle Berry
Ava Gardner

(and, my wife does not read DU)

[Done]

106. Vivian Hsu

But then, I like Asian women.

[joeybee12]

107. How can I be the first to say Vivien Leigh????

Just watched GWTW again, and some documentaries about her--she was stunning!

[Corgigal]

108. Stevie Nicks

is a beautiful woman. Still looks good for her age too.

pretty photo with this link:

http://www.repriserec.com/stevienicks/

[Magrittes Pipe]

109. My girl, of course.

Tragically, it is now the 21st century. :cry:

[txaslftist]

110. Betty Paige...

Lolita Davidovich...
Charlize Theron...

My numbers 1,2,3.

[Beware the Beast Man]

111. RuPaul

[Richardo]

112. In my top 10: Audrey Tautou...

:loveya:

[hippiechick]

161. ... and Juliette Binoche

n/t

[redqueen]

113. Angeline Jolie

[hyphenate]

114. Here's a challenge for you

Beautiful in her youth by many miles!


As a female, we look for different things than men do in our own gender.

I also like to think these are beautiful women.

[Maddy McCall]

115. Mariska Hargitay--simply gorgeous.

I think she's stunning. She gets it honestly--the daughter of pin-up-gal Jane Mansfield and bodybuilder/Olympian Mickey Hargitay.

[loudestchick]

147. Did you see the dress she wore to the globes? Yowsa!

[Mixxster]

116. Maureen O'Hara

[ArkDem]

118. Phylliss Diller

[Seabiscuit]

119. Olivia Hussey

http://images.google.com/images?q=Olivia+Hussey&hl=en&lr=&sa=N&tab=ii&oi=imagest

[Kire]

120. Gwen Stefani

well, maybe not

[hippiechick]

162. Someone needs to remind her she's white.

:puke:

[RFKHumphreyObama]

121. Too many to count but a few of my favorites include

Virginia McKenna, Bette Davis, Audrey Hepburn, Katherine Hepburn, Susan Sarandon, Kim Basinger, Meg Ryan, Beth Broderick, Virginia Madsen, Catherine Denueve, Jacqueline Kennedy, Hillary Clinton and Lisa Banes

[x-g.o.p.er]

124. Morgan Fairchild

Her pin up poster and I had a beautiful thing going when I was a teenager.

[silvermachine]

127. Just the female image itself....

...in all it's glory.

[Jessica]

128. Rita Hayworth & Julianne Moore

[ElsewheresDaughter]

129. Kathrine Hepburn

[RedSpartan]

130. There can be only one.

Grace Kelly. All others are pretenders to the throne.

[last_texas_dem]

135. She's very pretty

But she looks eerily like my mother did in her early twenties, so I always feel a little uncomfortable acknowledging her beauty! haha

[NewJeffCT]

137. I almost know how you feel

That pic of Grace Kelly makes her look a bit like my ex-wife facially when she had her hair pulled up away from her face... of course, my ex had a totally different figure than Kelly.

And, to be honest, I feel my wife now is much prettier than my ex-wife.

[RetroLounge]

133. Can there be any doubt?

RL

[last_texas_dem]

134. Natalie Wood

She's my pick, but there's a lot of beautiful women on this thread who come close.

[RedSpartan]

138. As I said, Grace Kelly is #1, but...

Also up there, how could no one yet mention...

[Beaverhausen]

145. I was wondering who would mention Marilyn

Watching her films again I am stunned by her beauty. And I don't usually like blondes.

I also vote for Vivien Leigh, Sophia Loren and Hedy Lamarr.

[Tikki]

141. Yeah she's a B actress and all...yet, she was...

and is still an absolute beauty.


Lindsay Wagner

[JAbuchan08]

144. Gong Li

A screen goddess.


Edited for better photo.

[RedCloud]

146. Mommy first, then Benazir Bhutto

Of course our mommies are the most beautiful in the world of all time.

Then hubba, hubba, Benazir! And she brought a lot of progress to Pakistan.

[jswordy]

151. We had a malamute we named Benazir Bhutto

She was a very stately and beautiful dog. I miss her, she passed away several years ago.

[Burma Jones]

148. Emmanuelle Béart...............n/t

[AVID]

149. ali macgraw

[jswordy]

150. Salma Hayek!!!!

(swoon) The girl is

HOT!

And I especially like her because, every time I see her interviewed on TV, she seems so down to Earth. Not stuck on herself or wrapped up in herself at all.

WOOO (fanning self) is it warm in here, or what?!?!?!?!

Heheheheh...

[guitar man]

152. Jane Seymour

Best lookin' woman ever.

[chookie]

153. Julie Christie deserves an honorable mention

[Lindacooks]

156. Princess Diana - it's the eyes.

[LanternWaste]

157. This is not subject to opinions and is objective fact

Irene Dunne. Period. This is not subject to opinions and is objective fact. It will be one of the Three Great Truths future man discovers in his quest for knowledge.

Did I say Irene Dunne?

[MrScorpio]

160. Rita Hayworth is my close second
