I just thought when MissA mentioned stars of the 60s .... Marilyn Munroe ?

Here is one definition I found

Charisma dictionary definition
charisma definition:
The definition of charisma is a special and rare charm held by someone that makes others want to follow or obey them.

In that case Audrey Hepburn fits because she was a style icon .

They are glamorous certainly and have sex appeal yes but charismatic ? I’m not sure. I was thinking how Bill Clinton gives full eye contact and makes people think he is hanging on their every word. How about Ruth Davidson ?

Debbie Harry, maybe?
Diana Dorrs?
Sinead O'Connor?

I'm sure some of the stars from the 40s, 50s and 60s may have been more charismatic.

The other day we were thinking about what makes a person charismatic. We could think of several men - some of whom I don’t like although I can still accept that they have charisma . But when it came to women I was stuck.
Who do you think is charismatic ? Can you think of a woman who fits this description ?
