Vivien Leigh, Ava Gardner, Liz Taylor, Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Lauren Becall, Norma Shearer, Katharine and Audrey Hepburn , Bette Davis and Ingrid Bergman..my favorite classical beauties...but where is the great Bette Davis?
Okay ... okay ... on the looks index, you might want to toss in Carol Alt -- her limited release Italian language oeuvre compiles some of the most stunning close-ups of a beautiful face (a bit square in the jaw though) ever captured -- as for the films themselves ... definite misses; same goes for Grace Kelly -- much amplified by bleach, peroxide and ammonia, and blemished too by square jaw'ism -- too big and protruding front teeth -- very similar jut to Alt's: both are stunning! Garbo's eyes!
Ursula Andress hails -- aside from her odd hairline and the back slope of the top portion of her forehead -- as one of the most beautiful, for all categories, faces on film: Hedy Lamarr, whose loveliness occupied an entirely other type of beauty ... almost perfectly, too, can be held as her only peer. Between the two of them -- fairly covered is a broad range spectrum of beauty's aka Isis's domain. That said, both, too, bested their neither too sophisticated nor cultured lower ranked contenders
Hey, I like the point of view you´re sharing with us, I´m descovering the classical actrices and I have to tell that they are the best and by far. I´m very dissapointed with the nowadays ones, there´s only one or two that I deeply admire., I mean, they are beautiful and have good figures, but seriously they don´t know how to be sexy without beeing a slut. I may be wrong and that would be the image that hollywood wants to sell us, I´m confused...
@TZeveRe4:19 is Carole Lombard...Agree, I'm a fan of old Hollywood because these women were real Divas, had class, elegance and unsurpassed beauty, each one of them was a personality. No modern actress can be a role model for me and in many cases their looks are not natural, they come and go, no one would remember their names decades later.
@TZeveRe Wow! You should hold fast to your illusions! Their not "being a slut" owed more to careful image-management and the relative lack, back then, of today's relentless media scrutiny. Two of the traditionally classiest were Grace Kelly and Ingrid Bergman, who were, in fact, notoriously far from classy! If I know anything of human nature, they were not particularly exceptional! "Real class" - as opposed to the appearance of it - was then as now, in very short supply!
@TZeveRe Certainly! But then, who wouldn't? These are pretty and beautiful women, with images carefully and skillfully curried for public consumption! All but Marlene Dietrich, whose appeal has always been a complete enigma for me! Lauren Bacall will probably always be my favorite Hollywood Golden Age beauty!
Good job. I would have liked to see more pictures of Mae West because she was the first major film femme fatale. What happened with Sophia Loren???, she was one of the most important figures of Hollywood and its beauty is incomparable.
@mikicazorla Well, Sophia is very beautiful, but for me she's European actress not Hollywood. I included her photos in my another video with many beauties "They Had Faces Then".
@gatabella3 Hello, I am writing an article about several celebrities and I'm focusing on ten actresses who inspired by their beauty, mystique, talent and because changed the female viewpoint, they are, Mae West, Mary Pickford, Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Bette Davis, Katherine Hepburn, Claudette Colbert, Carole Lombard, Lana Turner, Jean Harlow, Sophia Loren and Marilryn Monroe. I would like to know your opinion of this list. Greetings.
@mikicazorla Very good list. Mae West is particularly interesting for she was actually very far from good-looking, and "owed it all" to her shameless adopted raucousness . She and Katherine Hepburn - together with Mary Pickford, perhaps - might be your list leaders, as they shamelessly marched to their own drummers. The rest used their breathtaking beauty in the all-too-familiar ways of getting ahead! BTW, where is the sizzling Lauren Bacall?
Ava Gardner said to Veronica Lake: "With a face and figure like yours you could start a war." Lake replied: "I believe we are at war; the question is, can a face and figure like mine stop it?" Veronica Lake is said to have been so disarmingly beautiful that she looked as if she had been preserved on ice before each scene: her skin, hair, eyes - everything was perfect and peerless. She was whip-smart, could deliver lines with remarkable deftness...Lake all the way!!!
Natalie Wood does not belong in this video. She is like 35 years younger than Garbo, Crawford, Harlow etc. Someone should make a video with Nat and members of her own generation like Faye Dunaway.
Beautiful music and tribute, BUT I was disapointed to see only "1" photograph of the beautiful Natalie Wood and that was of a book cover, your obviously a Liz fan!
There were just as many shots of Garbo, and others, as there were of Liz. Natalie was good, but hardly a "goddess" like many of the faces featured in this tribute.
Goddess is a myth, they were ALL beautiful talented women, that is for sure, where are the pic's of Liz from the 70's when she was, well if your a fan you should know :)
Very,very beautiful actresses ...amazing women !!!
