I strongly disagree...I can think of a number actresses who are just as beautiful. Michelle Pfeiffer and Charlize Theron come to my mind. The females in the Golden age of Hollywood were built up by the studio's and groomed by them. That doesn't exist for today's actresses.

Mặc dù các ngôi sao Hollywood cổ điển có sức quyến rũ không thể phủ nhận, nhưng tôi nghĩ rằng đôi khi chúng ta bỏ qua mức độ phát triển của mọi thứ về mặt kỹ thuật diễn xuất và cách kể chuyện. Các nữ diễn viên ngày nay đang định nghĩa lại vẻ đẹp và sự gợi cảm theo những cách phản ánh các giá trị đương đại.

@@writeract2 I have already declared the most stupid KZbin-comment of 2024 (Or more precisely the comments I have read during this year) but you come very close 2nd. :/ If you don't see the beauty of a woman that may very well be the most beautiful that ever has existed anywhere, you either have absolutely no clue what 'beauty' means, you are a total imbecile or have severe problems in your eyes or all those together. Please comment only stuff you understand something about - if there is any... :/ I have seen worse "beauties" put before Gene than here. Vivien sure had impressive eyes but generally no match for Gene, I would rank her 4-5, Liz was a real beauty but half a dozen Hollywood women beat her easily, I would put her in top ten, but closer to ten than five. Darryl F. Zanuck knew what he was talking about: Gene Tierney was the most beautiful woman in the movies ever.

Not quite. What Hedy Lamarr's invention and patent was for a means to automatically change radio frequency while transmitting and for a receiver capable of following the change so that a message can be broken up into segments transmitted over several frequencies such that it cannot be intercepted in its entirety except by a receiver that is synchronized to the frequency changes. In it's most broadest terms it influenced WifFi and BluRay, but such ideas were used in many telecommunications where the data stream is broken up into several packets and transmitted even over different routes and this is one of the capabilities of the Internet at the lowest layer of its architecture, and also other non-Internet communications architecture such as SNA. If you want to read what Hedy Lamarr's invention is all about, it is still a register patent which is available online at patents.google.com/patent/US2292387

Despite the developments in cosmetology and cinematography, the movie makers of that era seemed to know how to make up and photograph the stars in such a way as to enhance their beauty in a more stunning way. They also seem to be more mature than present day actresses, possessing a greater screen presence and exuding a sensuality that today's actresses lack. Not sure why, but back then, they weren't just celebrities, they were movie stars.

@@youngsteph1 I think the answer can be summarized in one word. Feminism. The feminist movement redirected a little girl's desire to be desirable to men when she got older to desiring to dominate and control men. Back in the day, there were only two sexes each with clearly defined roles. Today, there are dozens of genders with the focus being on "me", "I", and "my". It was extremely important for a little girl to marry a man when she got older so she not only tried to look desirable (to men) but she also spoke with a sexy tone of voice. Today, sexy is being a bitch, bossing men around, and for some covering their bodies with tattoos and piercings. In short, the feminist movement is an extremely selfish movement which isn't very sexy.

Most of today's ROLES (for women) lack it. ~ You know, so many of these comments offer unfavorable comparisons to women of today, but we are not the ones controlling this situation. It is Incredibly frustrating. But when women speak out or demand more power, we are maligned as unfeminine- yet treated as shrews, hysterics, strident and shrill (ironically for anyone "unfeminine," as these are insults typically reserved for females. See also: Nag; Wet-blanket.) It all makes me feel very sad and disheartened: it's as though a chance is being missed. People are maligning feminism without knowing what it really is; they are choosing not to listen because they think they know what it is we have to say. The lost Dignity referred to in nearly every thread relating to this video IS missed; it is respect we all need. Everyone benefits when women have greater autonomy.

Vivien Leigh was beautiful. I met her when i was 16 in Sydney and gave her flowers. She was about 50 then and just as beautiful. She was in 'Lady of the Camellias; and 'Twelfth Night' and my favourite 'Duel of Angels' We went each Saturday for 6 weeks an hour early to see her come to the stage door from her limo. The last day we waited at the stage door and gave her flowers and talked to her. What a beautiful voice and so petite. She was always on time. John Merival was a very protective person to her and was the leading man. A very sweet man. .

I feel like my soul is stuck in the 40's, 50's, 60's even though I was born in 1988... I love spending time thrift shopping and diving into history archives. Whenever I watch movies or interviews, read books or listen to music from that era I get a knot in my stomach, in a good way. The same feeling you get when you look at pictures from an old family album. It's almost nostalgic. There's a longing in my heart that's unexplainable.

@Hello There, I can relate except with me is a longing to the Victorian era. Whenever I see a beautiful old Victorian home being demolished to make room for a parking lot or an ugly square modern building I want to say. "No, stop!" "Don't destroy history". "That type of construction and architecture will never come again!". I feel like they're destroying the soul of those old houses and as for me I feel incredible sad when they come down and all there's left is rubble. How sad 😔😔.

Some I would never have thought of, like Dorothy Lamour, Lana Turner, Jane Greer. A close to even mix of blondes and brunettes. I like the first shot a still, then the montage of clips. And love the music. When Elizabeth was #2, I knew Vivien would be #1. Thanks for this!

+Gina Decker Yes, totally. The novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald said, "After a certain point, one pretty girl is as pretty as another pretty girl." That may sound cynical, but then it comes down to personal preference. When I was watching this, I didn't even know there was an "order of beauty from least to most." As you say, impossible!

It is true, beauty, talent, and Rita Hayworth's dancing! I would, and still do, watch a film just to see Rita, or Ingrid Bergman, or a number of the others here. Then I think of today's actresses - actually, I find it hard to bring any to mind. There are none today that I would watch a movie just because they are in it, but tell me Sophia Loren is in one and I'm there. I think Bergman as she was in Casablanca is the ultimate, though (just 19 at the time, yet she seemed so mature). There was an innocence and sweetness of character that modern feminism has just drained out of most women.

5. Sofia Loren and Audrey Hepburn are so poised it can be detractive. It's like a veneer that hides their true beauty so you rarely even see it. 4. Ava Gardner, Hedy Lamar, and Rita Hayworth are about equal in my opinion. 3. Loretta Young and Vivienne Leigh who I think were more cute than beautiful but better actresses. 2. Brigitte Bardot and Claudia Cardinale. I think they are more attractive because they have a natural, earthy, more realistic style. I might also include Grace Kelly. 1. Gene Tierney. Probably the best looking. To me a lot of them are not much better looking than current tv actresses or pop stars, such as Marilyn Monroe or Dorothy Laramor. Great video.

There has never been or ever will be a more beautiful woman than Elizabeth Taylor. When I look at these list there are many beautiful woman and different opinions. That’s the way it should be. But unless your blind or can’t see very well . Hands down Elizabeth Taylor was THE most beautiful just look at her face omg

They were called the Greatest Generation because they lifted their nation out of the Great Depression, fought a global war, won it, and then rebuilt the war raved countries of the world. They didn't burn the flag or carried signs that read "Hell No. We won't go!" or ran away to Canada to avoid the draft or write a letter to their Congressmen begging to be excused from serving or applied for college deferment. With all that, why wouldn't the women of that generation have more class more dignity and more talent than the girls of the Pathetic Generation?

@@romanmichaelhamilton8729 She was the inventor of spread-spectrum radio transmission, which Digital TV and WiFi rely on. Ahead of her time or what? One version of this, "chirped" transmission, was implemented during the war shortly after she proposed it. Her methods were not encryption, as such, but rather modulation schemes which the enemy didn't understand and therefore could not figure out how to receive.
