Ali MacGraw or Olivia Hussy?

Who was a bigger deal at the time? Ali or Olivia? I think Olivia is much more beautiful and I LOVE R&J way more than Love Story, but I'm curious what happened back in the day.

I was a preteen back in those days and, while both actresses were considered pretty hot, I think that Ali was a bit more famous. I liked them both.

I really liked Ali, but Olivia Hussey was just stunningly beautiful in Romeo and Juliet.

Olivia Hussy is a devout Catholic in real life, and would never have done the movie for a million bucks! Don't even think it.

Olivia is more attractive in general and had a pretty nice rack, but Ali was believable in that she looked like someone you would actually know instead of a movie glamor girl.

At that time, both were very pretty, but I liked Olivia Hussey better.

Olivia was a much more serious actress to me because of Romeo and Juliet. I thought Ali was nothing but fluff. They were both considered very hot at the time, though. Brunettes were in there for awhile. It was interesting.

Hussey is pretty, but MacGraw is beautiful as far as I'm concerned.

I think I might have a thing with thick eyebrows...
