And yet Tony, none of them would have you. Most notably because you
can only count to 35.

[Wull]

Ha Ha Ha
But the list of 35 is a pretty good one.
One person in the list is not an ugly woman and I do not even think about
the looks of black women, Whitney Houston
In her place I would add Barbra Streisand.
In her younger days, Jones was an attractive woman.

Well, I just watched Freaks on TCM, so I'd add the distaff cast of that
(plus a couple of the indeterminate players). I'd except Leila Hyams, as
Venus, of course--and one of the siamese twins was rather demurely lovely.

(Also, in exception to the original list, I found Sandra Bernhard quite
hot in King of Comedy.)

Most of your list is spot-on, but I disagree with the 2 listed above.
The brunette chick was also in "40 Year Old Virgin" (I think). She's
somehow cute. And Juliette Lewis was oddly attractive in "Natural Born
Killers".

Clearly, she is not photogenic. But there's a hell of a lot more to
attractiveness than looking good in 2 dimensions.

If there were an industry today that was devoted to making today's
stars look as glamourous as the stars did in the past, They most
certainly would.

the 40s and 50s offered a very different style of feminine beauty and
a very different style of glamour photorgraphy. So you're basically
saying that oranges taste better than apples.

Having seen Wynona Ryder, Amy Irving, and Charlize Theron up close,
I'd say you're turned your own responses into some sort of factual
assertion.

I'll give you Ryder and Theron, who have beautiful faces. I'd add Scarlett
Johansson to the list in place of Irving. While there is no arguing taste
(in a sense *all* such discussions are apples and oranges), I will have you
know that I have some 40,000 pictures of actresses from every Hollywood era,
so I have a fair amount of evidence on which to base a comparison. I still
think Calvin is right: the old stars were prettier. The studio publicity
mills are certainly a factor in that judgment, but not a deciding factor ..

They were certainly dressed better. The elegance & line of the haute
couture glory years are roughly parallel with the Hollywood Golden
Age. Today is certainly not a couture high point; you'd be a ditz to
argue that it is. Lanvin, Chanel, Dior, Balmain--most of these
companies still design, but their designers from fifty years ago (who
are now dead) were greater artists, & the old movie stars were
longtime customers (& the studio contract designers definitely copied
the Paris houses). The change since the 1970s may be a result of the
inevitable move from custom clothing to ready-to-wear & stuff like
perfume licensing (which is where the money is today). But obviously
custom has evolved, too. It's been fashionable for about forty years
now to look like a shlub (whereas before it may have been "cool" &
anti-establishment to look like one but not fashionable).

Actually, the coolest, sexiest picture I've ever seen of Lombard is one of
her and Gable. She's wearing a man's shirt and jeans and standing next to
their woody stationwagon. She looks so fresh, so natural, so damn happy and
healthy that it like to break your heart.

The picture of Lombard and a horse reminds me that after she died Gable had
to get rid of a horse that she used to ride and was quite fond of. It
reminded him too much of her. At the time my father was connected to the
Hollywood crowd through the racehorses he owned and trained. Gable gave the
horse away and it wound up in my dad's possession. He boarded it north of
Seattle.

When I was born, it became my horse and until we left the Seattle area at
the end of the 40s they'd take me out to ride it. I do not actually remember
any of this, btw, but got it from my mom.

I do have a photo, which I've never scanned, of me and Penny Singleton in
the winner's circle with one of our horses. She's holding me up to the
flower horseshoe around the horse's neck.

Haute couture was a way of life for the old stars; for today's stars, it's
done only for special occasions (like awards ceremonies). I agree with your
argument, except for the part where you say haute couture is dead today. On
life support, perhaps, but not dead.

Thanks for the wonderful pictures, none of which I had. If you would see a
sample of my galleries, go here:

Haven't you heard? The pretty/horsey dichotomy is in! Julia Roberts,
Sarah Jessica Parker, Liv Tyler, Anne Hathaway- they could all be
saddled up, from certain angles. Hey, maybe it's time to reconsider
Edna May Oliver?

Anyway, Scarlett's a doll. Here's a good pic from a recent awards
show after-party. She didn't win anything, but she brought her Golden
Globes anyway:

Adding to her beauty and her aura is how straight her head is on .. She is
emotionally mature beyond her years, and has not been cajoled into believing
her own publicity .. "Sexiest woman in the world" - according to some, and
modest about it, a combination lethal enough to charm any man ..

Of course. All of the standards of beauty, whether they are women,

I saw a thread in one of the binary newsgroups for some pics of Avril
Lavigne, announcing her as the hottest woman on the planet. Uh-hunh. I
hear (and read) them rave about some twenty-something's great good looks,
and then I look at the pictures...

Kids today are like kids anytime: they think anything that happened before
they were born is irrelevant and unimportant, and somehow not as good or
interesting or fulfilling as what they have. Those who hold that notion are
wrong.

yes, but then again, many older folks look at the past with rose coloured
spectacles and think that anything "modern" is automatically rubbish. no
sense of balance either way. truth is that beauty is in the eye of the
beholder anyway but, that said, there have always been beauties and hags and
everything in between...and always will be.

In my view that's exactly right. And each succeeding age has its
attractive traits and its repulsive ones. For Gen-X, the detached humor is
superb, but the passivism bordering on defeatism is annoying. For Boomers,
they're (or were) energetic and can-do, but among the most arrogant and
hypocritical of any group to have walked the earth.

And yet there is always that small segment of each generation: the
neoclassicists, who want to turn back the clock for aesthetic reasons.
They usually fail to get the rest of the world to follow, however.

But look at it this way: what they have is *all* they have, and all
they'll ever have, for peers.

Who doesn't go thru a phase of favoring peers over predecessors or

Well, I'm a baby boomer and our generation is sometimes called "the Me
generation" so, yes, I can relate. Most people of any generation gain some
perspective as they grow older and learn to appreciate some parts of the
history which preceded them. Case in point: I'm listening to an Andrews
Sisters MP3 as I write .. And, many who are reading this are in a newsgroup
called past-films talking about movies that aired before any of us were born
..

Movies don't "air". TV shows, like prisoners allowed out into the
exercise yard, with always the threat hanging over them that they may
be dragged back inside and locked up again, "air".

Movies "are released" -- and there's no going back, baby!

Angelina Jolie. Yeah, I know, she's supposed to be the sexiest
thing that ever lived. I think she's revolting, and isn't remotely as
'hot' as Sophia Loren was in her prime.

I think Kim Novak was super sexy in "Vertigo". I think that's Kim
Novak.
I do believe Angelina Jolie is one of the sexiest women past and
present.
Whitney Houston is cute....maybe not sexy.

To me, some of the sexiest people qualify as "cute". It depends on
how they direct that smile.

Just came across this bit of nastiness in Graham Greene's review of "High,
Wide and Handsome" with Irene Dunne. Greene says "...one is left with a few
distressing memories- One being Miss Dunne singing besides a farm horse
(Miss Dunne is the one without the white patch on her forehead)".

More like Irene RYAN in Beverly Hillbillies. That fat woman at the
kissing booth Stan Gable gets to kiss instead of his girlfriend Betty
Childs in Revenge Of The Nerds' and that drunk, Irish housekeeper on the
first Freaky Friday movie. Oh, and Helen Hunt just because. :-D

I agree it's definitely possible to be both cute and sexy. Think

Harkness was right: apples and oranges. Rare are the movies these
days when the camera is seemingly having a two-hour love affair with
an actress's face, but that doesn't mean there's any shortage of
screen beauties. I love each and every one of the gorgeous stars you
mentioned, as well as so many more from eras past (and the gallery you
linked to before is fantastic), but I also think there are scores of
current actresses around the world today whose beauty is just
undeniable. Would you like names?

There are, indeed, but if this is an apples and oranges comparison, then I
don't see any reason to prolong this debate to a point where it becomes
silly. There are enough beautiful women in every Hollywood era for all of
us to admire, and no one's choice on this subject can be rightly understood
as "wrong" in any aesthetic sense.

The lady in "Oceans Twelve" was lusciously beautiful & lovingly
photographed in that ladled-on way. Besides, I liked that movie!

I think the keepers of the old days are really referring to something
more than physical beauty--the shape of the this or the that in a
pulchritudinous sense. I think they're really referring to whatever
the word is that encompasses beauty, personality, & above all, style.

Hmmm. . . maybe that word IS beauty.

So an actress like--what is her name?--the one from "Interview With a
Vampire" has so very little that's worth looking at or listening to on
the big screen: she is mostly beauty-free, sad to say, which includes
the way she presents herself (part of a woman's style). In her case,
she foists herself on us or at us; she is an irritant in most of the
shit I've seen her in. Drew Barrymore also fits that bill. And some
sort of cruddily sexy actresses may have pretty faces or perfect
bodies & boobs but still register as ordinary scudettes, with no
allure.

But the gal in "Oceans Twelve" had it all, as far as I'm concerned.
What style . . . . & what a looker.

Catherine Zeta-Jones??? You're talking about a woman of an entirely
different league than 90% of the other women in Hollywood. In her realm
you have her, Monica Bellucci, Salma Hayek (who only just joined this
list), and only one or two others. If Scarlett Johansson plays her cards
right, she'll be in this group in 10 more years. The rest of 'em are
just... actors. Julia Roberts isn't even fit to hold Catherine's
handbag, for example.

I've always favoured Thora Birch over Scarlett in Ghost World, myself.
It's coloured my way of looking at her.

I think today's perception of beauty in the mainstream media has more
to do with some kind of exotic features rather than comic-book/glamour
"beauty". There's really a fine line between unique features and
"features too strong".

Julia, for instance, used to be appealing because of her incredibly
wide smile. As she's gotten older, though, it's become more pronounced,
so the line between uniqueness and ugliness has narrowed in some
people's eyes.

Angelina Jolie doesn't look like a lot of women. She's unique because
she's got these really naturally thick lips (which aren't
collagen-filled, either, AFAIK). So, there's a sort of distinctness
about her that a lot of people perceive as beauty.

Not that I necessarily agree with any of this personally, but I see
where their admirers are coming from.

[Asfalttisoturi]

yeah, i know there's many those ugly bitches around....and they really
make me question the existence of god. But my atheism always goes away
when i see a pretty woman.... (AND i DOnT MEAN THAT JULIA ROBERTS
!!!!!)
