Anna Karina or Grace Kelly
Beauty shifts for me all the time. What seems more consistent is the way an actress becomes beautiful through a particular performance:
Marisa Tomei in Untamed Heart
(I’m sure I’d be irritated by this soppy film now but back then Marisa was all the softness that the women I met never had)
Maria Bonnevie in Øyenstikker
(To be Kim Bodnia, and live with her there in the Nordic wilds; Maria and the passing seasons – what more could a man want?)
Yekaterina Golubeva in Twentynine Palms
(the woman beguiled me; I wanted to envelop her in my arms and deal with her mood swings for the rest of my life)
She of milky white flesh, a bosom as warm and inviting as a heated cottage, lips filled with blood and dripping of carnality…oh…GOD! Lets forget this ever happened. Please…
Monica Vitti
Louise Brooks
Ornella Mutti – especially in Flash Gordon…a good job I hadn’t been chosen to save the world and was faced with the choice of a night of passion with her or duty to my planet…I’m afraid the Earth, much as I love it, would now be otiose space-dust!

Considering that showing off beautiful women is an integral part of every moviemakers bread and butter it should be no surprise that we are overwhelmed with a choice of exceptionally beautiful women to choose from for lists like this.
That said, Ingrid Bergman, Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn and Kiera Knightly.
And to the THOUSANDS of beautiful actresses not mentioned. Call me. I’ll make it up.
Geez Louise …,

On second thought, maybe Emmauelle Riva.
