Poll: the most beautiful woman who ever lived

There was this girl at a concert I gave in Tokyo a while ago. Oh my god…

But since I don’t have a picture of her, I’ll nominate the following actresses:

Grace Kelly
Catherine Deneuve
Sophie Marceau

Well I’ve collated all the results (it was either that or delete lots of boring email addresses from a huge spreadsheet, and I can think of better ways to use Excel). The results are terrifically corrupt and unscientific, with multiple votes and so on, and of course beauty is subjective, so nothing is proved at all by this. Anyone who isn’t ‘famous’ (i.e. SOs, etc. - I particularly liked MrO’s post) I have regretfully not included, and anyone with only one or two votes.

So, with three votes each I give you (alphabetically):

Isabelle Adjani (I add one vote for her myself here - I forgot how utterly jaw-dropping she is).
Catherine Deneuve
Ava Gardner
Sophia Loren
Gwyneth Paltrow
Elizabeth Taylor

With four votes each, I give you:

Laetitia Casta
Vivien Leigh

But the winners by a long margin, with equal 9 votes each are:

Audrey Hepburn
Grace Kelly

Oh, I forgot Sophie Marceau and Frederique - I think her last name is van der Waal? The Victoria’s Secret model. If I had to look like another person, she’s probably the one I’d pick. Just perfectly gorgeous.

The name is Frederique van der Wal, and she’s Dutch. (feeling of nationalistic pride sweeps past)

Can I still add a vote for Isabelle Adjani? I think votes for her should count for more, since she’s smaller than the other contestants.

I agree with you there Blonde! She is still a sexy woman.

GTPhD1996

A fellow will remember a lot of things you wouldn’t think he’d remember. You take me. One day, back in 1896, I was crossing over to Jersey on the ferry, and as we pulled out, there was another ferry pulling in, and on it there was a girl waiting to get off. A white dress she had on. She was carrying a white parasol. I only saw her for one second. She didn’t see me at all, but I’ll bet a month hasn’t gone by since that I haven’t thought of that girl.

Pheobe Cates

You should be campaigning for the list yourself. I don’t see you around here much these days, and you haven’t been to a local dopefest (such as they are) for a few years.

Hey, jjim
That’s about three votes now (starting with mine above on this page) for the fantabulous Frederique van der wahls forces. She’s earned her spot on the ‘all-time list’, hasn’t she?

Silent movie star Constance Talmadge. Check her out in INTOLERANCE sometime. O. U. Kid!

And, for an alt contender, Dita Von Teese. :wink:

I think Alicia Silverstone.

I could also handle looking like Catherine Zeta Jones, Natalie Portman or Monica Bellucci.

I think Christy Turlington is actually ugly. Her eyes are asymetrical and her smile looks like a horse.
Mel.

Her smile has four legs, a mane, and a tail?

Now I’d call that a rare talent, though clearly it would make her quite ugly.

How about this one ?

Gyan9, what a beauty. Shame about all those pop-up windows, though. :dubious:

I certainly agree that Jennifer Connelly was never more beautiful than in Rocketeer.

Oops, I’m using Firebird, which automatically blocks pop-ups. So, I didn’t notice. Sorry.

Why Robot Arm, what a lovely thing to say <blush>! Thank you - but I do NOT compare to anyone at this list. I wish!

Yeah, haven’t been to any other DFs - too busy, I guess. Maybe next time.
