Gina Lollobrigida or Sofia Loren?

1. Those women would never make it in today's film industry.

Nowadays, they don't let women on screen(with VERY rare exceptions)unless they look like they're famine victims.

3. loren in her prime = on the slim side - except for the bosoms

7. And she's still gorgeous.

[SharonAnn]

10. Don't forget the very curvaceous hips! Small waist, bit curvy hips!

2. Sophia is my fav, for sure...

I may be a heterosexual woman, but I've always admired her. She's aged well and naturally.

4. Agree.

Sofia is beautiful inside and outside.

5. Shelly Winters. A thousand times, SHELLY WINTERS!

And whomever had the strength to pull me out would be crowned King of England!

(out of her limo, geeze!)

8. Something uniquely attractive about Shelly Winters..

She looked like the girl at school you were sure was mean and then find out she's sweet as can be.

6. Both always looked too "angry" or "disdainful" for my taste.

I prefer a warm and friendly disposition to a cold, haughty or distant demeanor.

11. Warm and friendly? That's Claudia Cardinale!

Watch "8 1/2" and you will feel warm all over.

12. Nah. I prefer the homespun girl next door type.

Natalie Portman, Zooey Deschanel, Kate Hudson, Judy Greer, Meg Ryan, Leelee Sobieski, Natalie Wood, Helen Hunt, ... etc. come to mind.

9. Sophia Loren has always been my favorite beauty.

Even decades ago when I was a prepubescent male, she was part of what made me realize that there must be something worthwhile about all that sexual maturity stuff. She was and, in my view, still is stunningly beautiful.
