Who is the most beautiful actress of all time?


On most "Most Beautiful Lists," you will find Hedy Lamarr, Vivian Leigh, Gene Tierney, and Elizabeth Taylor. My pick for no. 1 is "Maureen O'Hara."

If this site is available, you will find a picture of her there:

Ingrid Bergman, she looked beautiful without having to use a trowel to put makeup on.

I have a Wallpaper Slide Show set up on my laptop and, of course, Ingrid is one of the women.

its obvious that if your a fan of one of the actress's, your going to say 'she' is the one. Ingrid is mainly being chosen for her acting ability, more than her appearance. A top movie photographer who had the opportunity to photograph most mentioned here, classified her as 'matronly'...looking. He chose Hedy LaMarr. Of course fans of "Gone With The Wind" are choosing Vivian Leigh, and the lists go on. But during that time of Garbo, LaMarr, Tierney, and etc...Hedy LaMarr was called the most beautiful that ever graced the screen...just for once, forget acting abilities and just look at the face. In fact, she was called one of the most beautiful woman in the last 100 years. Yes, I am a fan of true beauty.

Most such lists are very narrowly defined and without much perspective. Hedy Lamarr, Gene Tierney, Ingrid Bergman and Liz Taylor were all great in their time but were they more beautiful than Dorothy Dandridge, Nobu McCarthy or Gina Lollobrigida? Others will insist on a the Marilyn Monroe or Anita Ekberg type.

Rhea Perlman - but I realize that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.

they were all so beautiful. I love Ava Gardner I think the most, along with Taylor, Lamar, Tierney, O'Hara - all different qualities. Grace Kelly, Paulette Goddard - gorgeous. And Ingrid was very beautiful. I can't choose. I have a list.
