Most beautiful woman?

That's a very difficult on!
Liz Taylor, Ava Gardner, a number of the old times actresses.

I can't think of anyone currently at the moment.

I agree re Elizabeth Taylor. I always wanted to look like Brigitte Bardot (it never happened )

My favourite is Sophia Loren - fabulous at all ages, but Liz Taylor is a very close second.

most beautiful woman IMO - Grace Kelly (she aged very well)
most handsome man - just to even the debate - has to be Paul Newman

Debbie Harry when she sang Denis Denis on Top of the Pops. She wore a man's red shirt as a dress and looked amazing.

just thought of Colin Firth in his Pride and Prejudice role - but he is not so good looking since and has not aged as well as Paul Newman

sorry I have veered off-topic when thinking about handsome men [swoon]

Oooh yes Colin Firth as he walked up to the house dripping wet.

VQ - yes - could watch that scene over and over (in fact I have the DVD)
a bit of a let down when he appeared so ordinary in Mama Mia

Ooo yes Paul Newman. Also Colin Firth coming out of that lake. We went to the house where that was filmed (Lyme Park). We saw the lake and DH offered to do a take off of Colin Firth emerging from the water.
I declined his kind offer

Vivien Leigh. Absolute classic beauty.

Yes Tegan I was just going to put Vivien Leigh then I saw your post!
I like Julia Roberts too.

There was an exhibition of photos of Vivien Leigh recently at the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle.

I think Jean Shrimpton knocks the socks off all of today's models.

Liz Taylor first prize
Sophia Loren second prize

brunettes rule yay!!!

I think Bo Derek is a beauty but I always thought Ingrid Bergmen had a beautiful face too.

So many to choose from really.

If we are talking about the boys - Rufus Sewell in Zen- brunette again!!

Joanna Lumley - a natural beauty who is aging really well.

I always thought Natalie Wood was rather stunning.

Agree about Rufus Sewell [first saw him in, I think Middlemarch and then Cold Comfort Farm...sigh]....Have a picture of Jean Shrimpton floating around my pooter room somewhere..was on the front page of a magazine and couldn't throw it away. I so wanted to look like her when I was in my teens.

Have to go with Natalie Wood. Although I very much doubt if there's non of the above who have not had a bit of work done. I know that Grace Kelly had her nose done.

Most of the above, plus Catherine Deneuve, Ginger Rogers, Louise Brooks...

Yes all of the above - I don't see Ginger Rogers as beautiful but what a personality, that's what makes her gorgeous imo.

I love the way so many posters immediately started listing beautiful men on this thread. I watched an old film with Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, James Coben and others of that era the other evening - what a gorgeous lot they were.

Iam64 - natural progression from most beautiful woman posts
to not mention the many 'beautiful men' would be discriminatory
