Who was the most beautiful celebrity of the 1950s-1960s?

In My Humble Opinion
41

May well be the case.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Here’s a new wrinkle to this sort of thread for me:

While we’re waiting for the 50 names total or the “24-hour No Posts” period, let’s ease the rules a bit before we get down to One Vote Per Voter thing.

Using the current list of 32, pick your TOP FIVE and post them here.

============================================

Pier Angeli
Barbara Bain
Brigitte Bardot
Ingrid Bergman
Julie Christie

Catherine Deneuve
Donna Douglas
Jane Fonda
France Gall
Ava Gardner

Francoise Hardy
Rita Hayworth
Audrey Hepburn
Grace Kelly
Hedy Lamarr

Gina Lollobrigida
Sophia Loren
Jayne Mansfield
Ann Margret
Marilyn Monroe

Elizabeth Montgomery
Nichelle Nichols
Debra Paget
Diana Rigg
Katherine Ross

Jean Seberg
Jean Simmons
Sabine Sinjen
Elizabeth Taylor
Sylvie Vartan

Raquel Welch
Natalie Wood

============================================

Depending on how this goes we may have a smaller set to work with when it’s ONE VOTE time.

42

Where did the OP say that only female celebrities are to be considered? Does the use of the word “beautiful” imply that only females need apply?

The 1960’s was the era of “The Beautiful People” after all.

43

I suppose Phyllis Diller is out of the running.

44

The OP did not say! The responses have been genderless as far as the OP is concerned. Name some dudes if you wish. :slight_smile:

45

She won’t be getting my vote. Beyond that I abstain! :smiley:

46

Jean Shrimpton.

47

Damn! Adding her right in! That list looks like it would be worth looking into as well.

48

See http://www.vogue.co.uk/spy/15th-anniversary/peter-philips/ for the list.

49

Vanessa Redgrave.

And we need another thread for the guys.

50

Amen to that! Would you like to start that other thread? If so, please do. :slight_smile:

51

I am tempted to throw Mae West into the mix but by the 50s she was pretty dated.

52

Agreed. Not adding her to the list.

53

I’ll give you brunette, redhead, and blonde options
Marlo Thomas
Jill St. John
Lesley Gore (not in color, but with that picture who cares?

54

Outstanding pictures of some true beauties! Brings the count to 37. Thanks!

55

Gina Lollobrigida
Claudia Cardinale
Maureen O’Hara

56

Since this thread calls for beautiful celebrites and not just actresses, I’ll add these two (even though they did some limited acting).

Michelle Phillips

Suzy Parker

And another actress

Dorothy Dandridge

57

Don’t think Dana Wynter has been mentioned yet. Not especially a bombshell, but (MHO) a classically beautiful face.

58

Ms. Wynter brings us to 43.

59

Besides Grace Kelly (my personal pick), what about Romy Schneider and Capucine? Both coincidentally from What’s New Pussycat.

60

A couple more:

Edie Sedgwick

Diana Ross (even though most people are more likely to associate her with the 70s)
