[Her face was beautiful](http://www.celebrityplasticpics.com/pamela_anderson_breast_implants.htm) before she went with all the collagen in her lips and the heavy makeup. She looked wholesome, in fact. She still projects a strangely wholesome persona, all things considered.

Salma Hayek has the most amazingly beautiful face, in my opinion. It’s the sort of face you want to just stare at.

She was great looking pre-surgeries, but as making a cartoon out of herself worked very well, I can’t blame her too much for making a cartoon out of herself.

I can’t put [Salma Hayek](http://www.leninimports.com/salma_hayek_gallery_48.jpg) in as a butterface either. [Scroll down for Gallery in this link](http://www.leninimports.com/salma_hayek.html).

I think she’s gorgeous, too. The first time I ever saw her was in [From Dusk Till Dawn](http://www.celebritymoviearchive.com/tour/movie.php/2316), and when she came on screen, my jaw dropped. My boyfriend was making such an effort not to drool, I finally had to tell him “It’s okay, honey. I’m right there with you!”

I used to think SJP was attractive in a quirky way, but all these years of the media trying to convince me she’s beautiful have tired me. Especially since \*she \* seems to have bought it. The goodwill I had for her from Square Pegs and LA Story has run out now.

Remember Alice the Goon from the Popeye cartoons? Cruz could play her if they ever do another Popeye movie.

It really doesn’t matter how many pictures of Salma Hayak you guys link to, I still say she’s a butterface. To each his own, I suppose.

I think that you’re confused. [Tea Leoni](http://members.aye.net/~gharris/blog/tealeoni27.jpg) is in the new Jim Carey movie “Fun with Dick and Jane”.

“Yours, Mine and Ours” stars [Rene Russo](http://www.glacombe.com/images/grusso2.jpg), and I read the same review.

Since I don’t know which actress you are insulting, I’ll leave it at that.

Tea Leoni, right, and the reviewer for THAT film also said “talents wasted”, but you know I think I remember a review for “YM&O” with the same line.

And, in the case of Rene Russo- they could be right.

SNORTLE!! 😃 Nice one.

My list:

1. Sarah Jessica Parker (I like how the tagline for her perfume print ad is “Beautiful on the Inside”. Did she not see what she was opening herself up to??)
2. Sarah Jessica Parker (There was a reason she was cast as a plain-Jane but likeable high school kid)
3. Sarah Jessica Parker (but her body did look good in LA Story)
4. Jennifer Aniston

I think Penelope Cruz can be scary and beautiful alternatingly, like Jerry’s date on Seinfeld. I saw one shot of her with classic red lips and a red gown and she was strikingly beautiful but sometimes her features are just too much.  
“Looks like a foot”–love it!!

[Thandie Newton](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0628601/) has a hard body but a face like Hitler’s butt.

I’m trying to figure out which side you haters are putting Amy Smart on: beautiful face/lousy body or beautiful body/lousy face. I just don’t get it. I think she’s very beautiful and has a kick ass body. Just because she doesn’t have huge tits doesn’t mean her body doesn’t rock the party.

Check out her mini-strip scene in _Road Trip_ if you don’t believe me. That’s a world class ass right there.

Call me confused, Swank the Skank  
has a non attractive face and body. Which part do you like?

She is as skinny as Fabulous Creature’s 13 year old Nephew and something is [just wrong with her face](http://cdn-channels.netscape.com/gallery/i/s/swank/Swank_AG02589088.jpg), maybe a lack of food.

This picture of her [body](http://schmaltz.typepad.com/blog/photos/hillary1.jpeg) shows otherwise.

Ok, so at least I know you think she has a good body and butterface.

Actually in that picture she did look good in body. I have seen her other times when she didn’t. Now I am confused in another way.

Uma Thurman. I’ve always thought she had a downright unattractive face but a good body. She’s a decent actress too.

Would you consider Mary Lynn Rajskub (aka Chloe from 24)?

I commented in the current 24 thread about her ass. I don’t recall seeing her in anything where you can see what her body looks like. She was refered to as “The Mandible” in season three of 24.

I’ve seen pics of her face where sometimes she looks okay and sometimes, uh, NOT okay.
