WHO IS / WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FILM ACTRESS EVER?
Leslie Caron
I wasn’t born a redhead, I was born to be a redhead
Anna Karina, very frail and feminine beauty.
Also, I second Loveroflecinema about Liv Ullman.
Julie Christie. Ravishing in so many of her films, then and now.
Meg Tilly
She’s heavenly as “Agnes of God.”
(A reaction to Lady Gaga’s outfit.)
Breathtaking in “Valmont.”
Justine Waddell
Who wouldn’t “Fall” for such a beauty?
Elena Anaya
Couldn’t blame Banderas for spying on her in that movie…
Audrey Hepburn is undeniably gorgeous, but today, my heart is set on Mila Kunis and Jami Gertz. I don’t love saying who is the best looking celebrity because everyone knows they are made up to look unrealistically attractive, but those three are the ones I always reference.
Can’t we all just agree that it’s Anna Karina and it’s not even close?
I have to say Madhuri Dixit, of Hindi cinema. And I say that as a caucasian American cineaste. She has the acting chops of Winslet and Ingrid Bergman (and almost of Streep), and the dancing/sexuality of a female Hindi Elvis Presley. Most importantly, no one in any world cinema surpasses her in beauty. Unfortunately, like Presley, she’s the best thing in most of her films (she was never in a really great film, except one, “Prem Pratigyya” from 1989). Films of hers that aren’t bad, if you can handle the intermittent quality, are Hum Aapke Hain Koun (‘94), Beta(1992), Mrityudand (’97) and Prem Granth(1996). Time Magazine just put her “Devdas” in their crazy “top ten of the millennium”, but that is a film of mixed quality (though she is unbelievably stunning in that film).
@Alex: Anna Karina? Overrated beauty.
LOL! :P
Seriously, I agree with most of the beauties mentioned before (e.g. Audrey Hepburn, Ingrid Bergman, Tuesday Weld, Madeleine Stowe, Stefania Sandrelli, MLP, etc).
But I also can’t get enough of sexy faces like Sherilyn Fenn:
…and Nastassja Kinski (even though she’s starting to look like her father):
Brigitte Bardot
Don’t tell me you think Bergman has more beauty than Karina, Bergman has big fat nose.
double big nose post.
Nastassja Kinski and Francoise Dorleac.

I have a pretty strong obsession for Marilyn Monroe. I think she is cinema’s goddess.
In our current generation… Paula Patton, Hayley Atwell, and Jessica Chastain.
edit:
I also think Liv Ullman has a classical kind of beauty to her.
