Very tastefully and beautifully done.

Wow....hauntingly beautiful the way they did it.
Thanks, Lando!
-
Given that group I wonder if there could ever be any consensus on the top 5. I'd say N. Wood and A. Margaret would have to be in that group.
-
Rita Hayworth. Period.
I could've done without the background music.
-
Fascinating
-
Jane Russell is my all time favorite beauty, hands down. She was beautiful on the inside, as well as the outside, being a staunch conservative up until the day she died. She is also the God mother of infamous poster Deb at FR.
Helen Hunt? Come on, seriously? :shrug:

Honestly, as I watched...you need a pencil and paper if you're going to rank them.
They're all spectacular. Audry Hepburn, Sophia Loren, Natalie Wood...
...although even back then Lana Turner looked crazy. LOL!

I thought the same thing. Helen Hunt? Whut?

They are displayed in the order of their birth years.
I'm slightly inclined to favor the Latin look-Sophia Loren, Raquel Welch, etc. They generally age extremely well.
But I like them all.
-
A slightly dissident view: as far as I can tell all of these women are actresses which means for these glamour shots they had access to the best makeup artists and photographers that could be found. That is not to say they are not attractive but "most beautiful"? Plus the pool could be expanded to include models like Cindy Crawford, who still looks hot, and Miss Universes and such.
While I am on the subject I will make an admission which might make me banned from the Guild of American Males. To wit, Marilyn Monroe never did anything for me. It's true. Otoh, I would crawl over broken glass naked just to have Raquel Welch pat me on the head. And she's a Libertarian/Conservative. Gorgeous woman.
-

LOL! Me too.
Ingrid Bergman. Yes. Works perfectly for this green aura'd dude.

I so much agree, Lipstick!
Talk about being typecast...it never gave her the opportunity to leave I Love Lucy. But she was a serious actress. And beautiful.
-
Audrey Hepburn and Halle Berry. Tied for number one on my personal list.

Those two would be at the top of my list, along with Natalie Wood. Helen Hunt I would replace Katherine Hepburn with Myrna Loy. I always thought Loretta Young, Betty Grable, and Jean Harlow were beautiful. I love watching the old movies.

Lucille Ball had her chance in the big screen cinema, but was unable to break out of the B role mode, which is one reason she went to television (another was to provide work for husband Desi Arnaz).
I put her up not only because she was so beautiful, but also for her amazing contributions to the film/TV comedy genre. She was so talented, and an absolute work horse.
-
Of course, how they could leave Salma Hayek off the list is beyond me. :laugh:

Pretty cool video.
For my money, if you could take Lauren Bacall, Katherine Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe and put them together, you'd have a hell of a woman.
-
For me, on that list..the most beautiful woman is Hedy Lamarr

And has anyone looked at Meg Ryan lately??? Another plastic surgery disaster.

It is nothing short of sad how she (and Priscilla Presley) destroyed their looks with plastic surgery.
-

Definitely in my top 5, plus Hedy was a total braniac. Example: She and composer George Antheil invented an early technique for spread spectrum communications and frequency hopping, necessary for wireless communication from the pre-computer age to the present day.[
If she only owned a liquor store then...

Based on the mixed comments, I was wondering when someone would risk contributing the obvious 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'.

Indeed, it is. I have always been perplexed by the perceived beauty of Julia Roberts, tho.

Me, too! She's barely cute, let alone beautiful. She's not ugly, but more of a plain Jane. Her face isn't quite organized.
-
Me 3. She is certainly not ugly but one of the 50 most beautiful....no. I've never quite understood it myself
-
Okay... I am about to be shallow and petty... But JR's lips have no form or shape and when she smiles you see every damn tooth in her mouth - even the back molars.
-
Well, near as I can tell, Raquel definitely has a nice set of...teeth.

-
Raquel Welch was killer beautiful. Sophia Loren too. And Michelle Pfeiffer.
Thank God he didn't include Ellen Barkin on the list.
-
There were only a few I would question as being in the top 50 - and I agree with the rest of you on Helen Hunt. She is an attractive girl I'm not taking that away from her, but more of the girl next door type, and not on the same playing field as these other strikingly beautiful women. My favorite has always been Hedy Lamarr.
I would have a hard time not placing these other women in the list someplace,
Linda Darnell
Donna Reed
Yvonne De Carlo (of the 1940s not Munsters era)
Tuesday Weld - My first TV heart throb
Anne Francis - Seeing her in Forbidden Planet made me forget all about Tuesday Weld
Oh and Marry Ann & Ginger. the girls that made me forget all about Anne Francis

What boy did not have that poster of Raquel in the fur bikini hanging on their bedroom wall, or wish they had. And if you didn't you know which one I'm talking about without looking it up, it is that engrained into our brains.

Anyone else notice that when you post what you think is very important major Breaking News over on the Current Events category, you may get 2 maybe 3 added comments on a good day. But post a topic of beautiful women, like the Betty Page post from a couple of weeks ago, or this one and the pages of posted comments just stack up.
That leads me to believe that the demographics of members here are either 14 year old boys with hormones on hyper-drive, or we are all facing a midlife crisis.

This is the one!

As we admire the beautiful women in entertainment, we can also admire beautiful every day women, who are just as fine looking, but took different paths in life. These ladies are every bit as pretty as the Hollywood types, and more. Many are mothers who could care less about the limelight.
Of course, the women I speak of don't pose provocatively, but they are noticed! ^-^

Midlife? I wish. I'm over 60. My wife says there's no harm in lookin'.

Was going to say that I was proud to be going through a mid-life crisis at my age. If THAT is what it is! :laugh:

For every thread such as this, whether it is music, sports or entertainment, there are dozens of political and news threads. Most of them are depressing. I am grateful for the diversion.
-
The same breakdown can be said of the most popular threads in News/Current Events and General Discussion.
Many times you'll see headlines with a couple of dozen views and zero comments....on stories that are 'front page'.
And time and again, the tabloid headline threads always get the most activity.
I'm with Lando...the diversion greatly appreciated.
-
It was just a tongue-in-cheek observation - heck I myself have now posted 4-times on this thread, far beating my average.

LOL... I misread your post - but I thought you had stepped out of character!

Hard to believe but even the ancients recognized the appeal of a beautiful woman.
From Irving Berlin, written in 1919 (if you can believe it).
A pretty girl is like a melody
That haunts you night and day,
Just like the strain of a haunting refrain,
She'll start up-on a marathon
And run around your brain.
You can't escape she's in your memory.
By morning night and noon.
She will leave you and then come back again,
A pretty girl is just like a pretty tune.
One of several hundred (thousands?) versions of this lovely piece:
