Am I seriously the first person in 9 pages to mention Giulietta Masina?
I adore her, does that mean I have weird taste or something.

I was watching a TV showing of “Ten North Frederick” with Gary Cooper as an aging upper class businessman who has a May-December romance with his daughter’s roommate. His romantic partner was played by the former model, Suzy Parker. She never could act much, but was she beautiful!

People have different perceptions of beauty, therefore there cannot be only one beautiful film actress (or any kind of woman). My tastes vary so here are the ones I like, living and deceased.

Greta Garbo (those eyes man, shit!)
Marlene Dietrich
Tallulah Bankhead
Halle Berry
Angelina Jolie
Joan Crawford (again, the eyes)
I love Bette Davis..she doesn’t fit conventional standards of beauty, but she was pretty smokin in All About Eve).
Salma Hayek
Dolores Del Rio
Lots more…but can’t recall at the moment haha

Marlene Dietrich, Nazimova, Greta Garbo, Gloria Swanson, Tallulah Bankhead, Pola Negri, Bea Lilly, Hedy Lamarr, Ingird Bergman, Myrna Loy…..

As far as current actresses, Maria Schrader and Audrey Tautou are my favorites. I also thinking Angelica Houston is beautiful, maybe not the most, but she’s most definitly striking albeit that in a conventional way.

I’ve been in love with Audrey Hepburn since I first saw Roman Holiday when I was like six. And my other great crush was Olivia Hussey since I first saw Zeffirelli’s Romeo and Juliet. But my more recent one has been Felicity Jones of Northanger Abbey. How do I post pictures?
