My Top 50 Most Beautiful Classic Actresses

READ, please: This top is only my opinion. I accept any other opinions from you, as long as they are decent and respectable. I actually made this video because I have a true love for old Hollywood and for these ladies, who are really inspiring to me.
If I could change something, I would put Ava Gardner and Jean Harlow on a better place and I would add Joan Crawford , Coleen Gray and Gina Lollobrigida on this top as well.
The song I used is 'Whisper of a Thrill', by Thomas Newman.

I had the pleasure of meeting the great Hollywood makeup man, Charlie Schram, many years ago in LA. He did everyone, from Elizabeth Taylor, to Hedy Lamarr. But when I asked him, "Who was more beautiful, Elizabeth Taylor, or Hedy Lamarr?," he answered in a heartbeat, "When they first come to me in the morning, without a stitch of makeup on... Hedy Lamarr. Definitely, HEDY LAMARR." On a more personal note, if I had to choose, I think that the greatest face on film has to be the great Gene Tierney. She had this look at was absolutely luminescent on film... just magical. But I guess it always just boils down to personal taste. They're all beautiful in their own ways.

This is the the best "Top 50" I have seen in a long time. I am glad you stepped away for the usual 'stars' to include so many of the beautiful and talented early actresses which are often unjustly over looked. You did a marvelous job in the selection of poses and cropping. Well done.

[@noellecms]

No Catherine Deneuve on this list.

[@siberiantiger1585]

Catherine's breakout film was the Umbrellas of Cherbourg in 1964. Repulsion followed in 1965 and Belle du Jour in 1967. The "ice maiden" is definitely one of the most gorgeous stars of the 1960s.

YES HARD TO TOP CATHERINE IN THE 60's, - MY FAVORITE OF HERS IS "THE MAYERLING" - HARD TO FIND MOVIE THOUGH.......BUT THEY DID FINALLY PUT IT ON DVD, BUT VERY HARD TO FIND MOVIE......

[@lamarravery4094]

She's on my list. Definitely a beauty.

[@mm7cc]

agree big mistake leaving her off

[@sswc53]

Bette Davis?

[@ChrisLee-UK]

Audrey Hepburn should have been in the top 5 but I guess beauty is in the eye of the beer holder...

[@philwatson6659]

Never mind top 5, number 1

[@auttapornsaisuwan4566]

The beauty of the old generation is a kind of unforgettable impression.

[@erichschmidt6717]

I think Liz Taylor should be 1 Ava Gardner 2 and Vivian Leigh 3

[@zrinkaperisic9379]

This might be almost the same as my ranking. In fact, never know would i put E.T. or A.G. on the first place. But two of them, they're the most beautiful ever. Not Monica Bellucci nor Sharon Stone can compete with Ava and Elizabeth.

[@vectushumanus4363]

Don't forget Rita Hayworth!!!

[@arnoldamaral7406]

Erich Schmidt Vivian Leigh was pretty not beautiful. That's why she got the part in GWTW. Margaret Mitchell starts the book by saying that Scarlet was not that pretty but she had a captivating aura etc. Vivian was perfect for the part according to O Zelnick. Best movie of all time considered by many. We watch it once a year. Arnold Bourbon Amaral

[@lialia8754]

Or Grace Kelly on first place.

[@davidcopson5800]

I'm okay with that selection.

[@jeanfleetwood1971]

HEDY LAMARR - GENE TIERNEY - JEAN SIMMONS !!!!!

[@7777lizabeth]

Top most beautiful: Ava Gardner, Elizabeth Taylor, Vivienne Leigh, Rita Hayworth, Marilyn. Next in line, Loretta Young, Lana Turner, Susan Hayward, Sophia Loren, Hedy Lamar, Ginger Rogers, Jean Simmons, Anne Baxter in 10 Commandments!

[@nalynanadz5958]

I think most people over rate Marilynn Monroe's looks. I admire but she isn't beautiful

[@angelasmith3967]

I think Marilyn should have been in the top 10. However, for me, she's number one. Sharon Tate should've been in this.

[@Davey7358]

I agree. Marilyn was the most beautiful.

[@angelasmith3967]

@@Davey7358 to me, now 54, she's still the most beautiful!

[@АлександрКомягин-ф1е]

Какие женщины !!!💎 Странно защемило сердце !

[@cherylwagner6662]

I would put Gene Tierney number one.

[@makauloa]

To see one of my favorites , Merle Oberon on your top ten was a pleasant surprise. She doesn't even appear in others top 40 .

[@fareedmalik6777]

The most beautiful actress in real life as well as perhaps on the screen was AVA GARDNER ! Even within the film fraternity this has been maintained for over 50 years or so

[@richardtan3156]

I agree.

[@richardtan3156]

Yes I agree, Ava is one of my top 5. The others are Kim N, Jean S, Natalie W, n Susan H. Besides their classic beauty, they also possess feminine charm, charisma n talent

[@ellasaraharetha]

Thanks for the great work putting this together. For me, Elizabeth Taylor (saw her in person), Hedy Lamarr, Ava Gardner and Vivien Leigh were the tops, but, I found many of these ladies very lovely. Miss them all.

[@rogergran23]

Great list. I watched the whole thing. It's difficult to describe these women. How can a woman be so beautiful? Some of them are not just beautiful, but disturbingly beautiful. Their picture stays in your(my) memory for the whole day. Thank you so much for this list. Of course, I have to add one of my favorites, and I think you would agree: Kathryn Grayson.

[@janer8406]

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder!

[@millymilly8264]

No it's not

[@esmeraldaorcutt1622]

Hell No !!! Like Saying Trump Looks Like Matthew Macohnahy 😝

[@mikeace5831]

If these 50 women's just went in a room and I stood there I would die and have a heart attack ,,,, the list doesn't matter all of them are gorgeous either way

[@billsmith1229]

Lana Turner, Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly, Gene Tierney, Rita Hayworth. Back when women were much more classy or were at least portrayed that way on the big screen.

[@ЛюдмилаВолынкина-ф2к]

Давно,ушедшие красавицы!Небесное,им царство!💎💎💎💎💎🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍

[@andrewpalframan4666]

Lauren Bacall no 2??? Oh please!

[@zrinkaperisic9379]

She could be among top ten, but you're right. And Ava Gardner is no 31 or something. Imagine!

[@donnav7103]

She was in there

[@brigittebeltran6701]

She was very exotic..Her smokey eyes, high cheek bones, beautiful full lips...But she didn't make an attractive older woman...

[@davidreed1995]

Carole landis wheres she

[@mansenmias]

And Peggy Dow at 33?!? This list sure is a hilarious one! :D (Even though Peggy did only 5-6 movies she is top 5 contender in this kind of list for sure. Lauren ain't. )
