Most beautiful woman?

It's so much a matter of personal taste, isn't it?

I've never seen the attraction of Harrison Ford, Robert Redford or Brad Pitt, but a lot of women seem to find them attractive, if not 'beautiful'...

Liz Taylor was beautiful. I used to think her eyebrows were fabulous. The male beauty for me has to be Gregory Peck. Beautiful inside as well as outside (so they say)

Phoenix. Spot on Re. Peter O'Toole in Lawrence of Arabia. Absolutely beautiful. Does anyone like looking at our local hunk, David Gandy. You might have seen his underwear range in M&S.

I think Audrey Hepburn was beautiful.
As for men, now I'm going back before my time really, what about Tyrone Power.

men. Aneurin Barnard.
www.imdb.com/name/nm2902567/ just a bit too young for me though.

Women Liz Taylor. June Whitfield is still looking very good at 89yrs old.

She is probably not regarded as classically beautiful with regard to her face shape but she appears to show her signs of age unbotoxed and is always so very elegant.

But...could he really be described as 'beautiful'?

Agree about Peter O'Toole, phoenix. However, I couldn't possibly put James Coburn in the same category, as Iam64 was suggesting...

OmarSharif didn't look too shabby in that film either!!

Re men, there is particular shot in "Lawrence of Arabia" with Peter O'Toole riding in from the desert (I think) where with the blue eyes and the bones, he surpassed good looking and IMHO looked just beautiful, regardless of gender.

Hope this doesn't sound odd, but there are times when beauty is beauty, regardless of age or gender.

Annie Lennox has good bone structure, which helps a lot!

Well, we could have had a separate thread for men!

Some men certainly are/were beautiful, but even more are/were attractive in other ways. It would strike an odd note if someone started a thread entitled 'Most Ruggedly Handsome Women'...

Iam64 - natural progression from most beautiful woman posts
to not mention the many 'beautiful men' would be discriminatory

Yes all of the above - I don't see Ginger Rogers as beautiful but what a personality, that's what makes her gorgeous imo.

I love the way so many posters immediately started listing beautiful men on this thread. I watched an old film with Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, James Coben and others of that era the other evening - what a gorgeous lot they were.

Most of the above, plus Catherine Deneuve, Ginger Rogers, Louise Brooks...

Have to go with Natalie Wood. Although I very much doubt if there's non of the above who have not had a bit of work done. I know that Grace Kelly had her nose done.

Agree about Rufus Sewell [first saw him in, I think Middlemarch and then Cold Comfort Farm...sigh]....Have a picture of Jean Shrimpton floating around my pooter room somewhere..was on the front page of a magazine and couldn't throw it away. I so wanted to look like her when I was in my teens.

I always thought Natalie Wood was rather stunning.

Joanna Lumley - a natural beauty who is aging really well.

If we are talking about the boys - Rufus Sewell in Zen- brunette again!!

I think Bo Derek is a beauty but I always thought Ingrid Bergmen had a beautiful face too.

So many to choose from really.

Liz Taylor first prize
Sophia Loren second prize

brunettes rule yay!!!

I think Jean Shrimpton knocks the socks off all of today's models.

There was an exhibition of photos of Vivien Leigh recently at the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle.

Yes Tegan I was just going to put Vivien Leigh then I saw your post!
I like Julia Roberts too.

Vivien Leigh. Absolute classic beauty.

Ooo yes Paul Newman. Also Colin Firth coming out of that lake. We went to the house where that was filmed (Lyme Park). We saw the lake and DH offered to do a take off of Colin Firth emerging from the water.
I declined his kind offer
