Elizabeth Hurley. (She’s so gorgeous it’s sick.)
Catherine Zeta-Jones.
Audrey Hepburn.
I find myself more attracted to brunettes, as a rule; none of the women I can think of who are “ridiculously beautiful” are blondes. Which is weird, b/c I’m a strawberry blonde myself.
And I hate to say it, b/c she grates on my last nerve, but Jennifer Lopez has a seriously beautiful face. (Til she opens her mouth.)
Yes, Angelina Jolie, definitely. (I think it’s mainly the bee-stung–or, to be less polite, hoochie mama–lips.) And J Lo, though if I actually met her I might have to smack her upside the head. Nicole Kidman is really getting beautiful as she gets older. Angela Bassett (sp?) is stunning.
And she wasn’t exactly a classic beauty, but there was just something about Katharine Hepburn’s face. It was so
Elizabeth Hurley
Emmanuelle Seigner (the blonde in The Ninth Gate)
Faye Dunaway (circa Bonnie & Clyde/Three Muskateers).
[hijack] I wish they would make a movie of Margaret Atwood’s Robber Bride so they could cast Juliana Margulies as Zenia. She would be perfect.[/hijack]
Ridiculously beautiful?
Rene Russo
Joan Allen
India Arie
Ming Na
Halle Berry
Marlene Dietrich
Sarah McLachlan
Bjork
Annie Lennox
Sinead O’Connor
Hilary Swank (esp in Boys don’t cry)
Laura Prepon (That 70s show)
Alyson Hannigan (yes, I have a thing for redheads!)
What is the deal with Jennifer Aniston?
She’s pretty, and I think she seems like a nice person and a good actress, but I don’t understand what the big deal with her appearance is. She’s “attractive,” that’s all.
Actually, I feel the same way about Elizabeth Hurley. She’s attractive, but I don’t know what the big deal is.
Thinking about it some more, and I agree with Audrey Hepburn (how could I forget about her!), Loretta Young, Linda Darnell, Lana Turner…
I am sorry, I am having trouble thinking of some contemporary actresses who are beautiful. There are plenty, I just can’t think of many of their names.
I do agree with Jennifer Connolly, though. She’s breathtaking. Oh! Oh! I just remembered! Michelle Pfeiffer. She’s also incredibly beautiful. Oh! I thought of another one! Diane Lane. Serenely beautiful.
There now. I think I’ve listed enough names.
I feel so unoriginal now, but I really think Angelina Jolie and Catherine Zeta-Jones are gorgeous.
Absolutely beautiful is the star who played the lead female character in the movie “Tales? of The Kama Sutra” Anyone know who I am talking about?
I also agree that the most beautiful and near perfect famous ladies of late are Jennifer Lopez, Angelina Jolie, Lucy Liu, Jennifer Anniston, Halle Berry and minus her princess personality, Kate Hudson. I also think that Madonna and Demi Moore are quite amazingly gorgeous and always have been. But thats what I like 
You wouldn’t be gay by any chance would you Ultraviolet ??
You wouldn’t be gay by any chance would you Ultraviolet ??
I never used to think that Demi Moore was such a much, but dang! She hit 40 and now she is just scorchingly hot!
And of course, Isabella Rosallini, Christy Turlington, Grace Kelly, Kate Blanchett, Audrey Hepburn, the “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” Liz Taylor, all those divine women in the Irving Penn photographs for Vogue! I’m sure there are more, but I’m tired.
The most ridiculously gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen was on an escalator at Bergdorf Goodman in NYC though. She had on a wide brimmed hat, the most incredible suit, and long black gloves. She honestly didn’t look real. My friend and I just stared with our jaws on the floor. She was quite something!
However did you guess!?! 
I thought I had the closeted act down pat!
Ooh, Michelle Pfeiffer, circa Catwoman – where’s the “Who would you go gay for?” thread?
Impossibly beautiful: Jennifer Connolly, Kate Beckinsale, Nicole Kidman
Very sexy/cute: Kate Winslet (especially in “Enigma”-- I dig that repressed librarian vibe), Christina Ricci when she still had some meat on her bones, Drew Barrymore, Alyson Hannigan, kd lang.
I like curves on women. Many of the actresses mentioned–Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu–are attractive, but personally I find them too skinny to be very sexy or drop-dead gorgeous. Audrey Hepburn, though, could pull off skinny and jaw-droppingly beautiful.
Vivien Leigh, Lena Horne and Michelle Pfeiffer are all gut-wrenchingly beautiful (IMO, YMMV).
Really beautiful? I would have to say:
Elizabeth Taylor (I still think black hair and violet eyes are freakishly beautiful)
Vanessa Williams
Naomi Campbell
Vivica A. Fox
Pam Grier
Agreed.
My list:
Angelina Jolie
Christina Ricci
Kate Winslet
and as twickster mentioned, Julianna Margulies is stunning with her creamy skin and dark hair.
I can’t see what the hype regarding Jennifer Aniston is. IMHO, her nose is rather large and she looks whiny a lot of the time.
My list would include
Monica Bellucci
Liv Tyler (It’s the lips, I tell ya - that woman was so lucky not to inherit anything else of her father’s looks)
Lauren Bacall
Reese Witherspoon
Catherine Zeta-Jones
Jennifer Garner
Ava Gardner
Elizabeth Taylor
Vivien Leigh
Jean Simmons
Catherine Zeta-Jones
Monica Bellucci
Catherine Deneuve
Lana Turner
Veronica Hamel
