Who would get your vote for the most naturally beautiful woman, ever?
No face lifts, no botox etc.
My vote would go to Audrey Hepburn.

Yes to Peter O'Toole in Lawrence and Terence Stamp (particularly in Far From TMC). Julie Christie ,
By the way check out TS using his bus pass and in FFTMC

Grace Kelly. Ingrid Bergman and her daughter Isabella Rossilini for 2 generations of beauty

Lauren Bacall

I very deliberately said attractive rather than beautiful, I think there is a big difference, to me beauty conjures up perfection (most often found in the young) whereas attractive means the complexity that comes with age.

Defining beauty is something which has always been a problem. Hollywood had definite restrictions- Ingrid Bergman I believe was told she would need to have her nose changed and refused.
Attraction is equally difficult sometimes someone who seems unattractive at one age seems to "grow into" their looks- Harrison Ford is an example of this. Caught a glimpse of him in "Apocalypse Now" where he was highly forgetable.
Ooh that's just reminded me Marlon Brando- attractive or beautiful when he was younger? Attractive certainly

Just thought of a woman who seems to have become more attractive as she has grown older-Judy Dench-not beautiful, quite pretty when she was younger, but stunning now.
Oh and for someone who wasn't beautiful but very attractive what about Glenda Jackson?

Johnny Depp is beautiful! (to me, anyway...smile)

Most beautiful women-Charlize Theron and the fabulous Catherine Deneuve

W.B. Yeats on beauty, from A Prayer for My Daughter

May she be granted beauty, and yet not
Beauty to make a stranger’s eye distraught,
Or hers before a looking-glass; for such,
Being made beautiful overmuch,
Consider beauty a sufficient end,
Lose natural kindness, and maybe
The heart-revealing intimacy
That chooses right, and never find a friend.

Beautifully written smile

Lys60 Your choice is interesting, is there a difference between what men v women find attractive. Neither of your choices would strike me as attractive. Now, Judy Dench, Goldie Horn, Meryl Streep among many others (Including Mrs P) are attractive in my eyes and definitely float my boat.

feetle; Jean Simmons. Earlier today I was looking through my old film annual book for a photo of her as, when I was a child I used think how beautiful she was. I had to go out so put the book down, but I'm going to have another look for it.

Tina Turner is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. she has a perfect body, lovely legs and such a cute smile with all that gorgeous hair.

etheltbags1 Sun 14-Jun-15 20:59:42

Tina Turner is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, those gorgeous legs, lovely body and cute smile along with the lovely hair. Im quite jealous and would copy her look if I could

mrsmopp Sun 14-Jun-15 22:06:02

What about models, Kate Moss, Cindy Crawford, Jean Shrimpers or Twiggy?
My favourite is still Audrey Hepburn, for her personality as well as her fabulous looks. As for men, it has to be Steve Mcqueen.

rubylady Sun 14-Jun-15 23:14:07

I think Catherine Zeta Jones is beautiful, always have done since her days in Darling Buds.

My male choices would be Brad Pitt and Sean Connery, that twinkle grin.

Not conventionally beautiful but truly striking as both a young and old woman – Lauren Bacall.

Grandma2213 Mon 15-Jun-15 03:22:43

Trisher and Pompa. I totally agree about Judi Dench and Meryl Streep who are not conventionally 'beautiful' but who have always fascinated me!

As for the men, in my younger days I drooled over Peter O' Toole, Omar Sharif and later Harrison Ford. But now my guilty (embarrassing) pleasures range from Laurence Llewellyn Bowen, Gino di Campo and
Aidan Turner in Poldark!

numberplease Mon 15-Jun-15 17:52:55

Now Aidan Turner I can really go along with! If he was up for grabs the queue would be miles long!

Lona Mon 15-Jun-15 18:16:13

number and grandma2213 did you see Aiden in the Hobbit? He was even more gorgeous than he was in Poldark!
(Drooling emo)
grin

Lona Mon 15-Jun-15 18:17:10

See, I was so excited that I spelled his name wrongly.

Ana Mon 15-Jun-15 18:36:04

I disagree, Lona, I think Aiden was even more gorgeous in Being Human, which is what I first saw him in and was smitten...grin

Ana Mon 15-Jun-15 18:36:53

Oops - corrected name spelling not realising had already posted....it's all this swooning...confused

rosesarered Mon 15-Jun-15 19:55:47

Get a grip ladies! grin
Truly beautiful people are far and few, but lots of attractive ones.

Lona Mon 15-Jun-15 22:15:47

Yes, Ana, I first saw him in Being Human ( I love vampires) but I have to agree to disagree! grin
