Was there ever a more beautiful woman than Angelina Jolie in her prime?

Yes.

Marcia Wallace

Beyoncé Knowles. But yes Angie was very beautiful.

Candice Bergman!

No, she's the most beautiful in my lifetime.

I just watched Maria on Netflix, and her beauty is a hindrance in her performance. She's not believable as Callas, at all. It was distracting.

Connie Francis

R5, who was the most beautiful before her?

What the fuck? Ain't I ya dream girl?

Halle Berry. She's also aged better than Jolie despite being almost 10 years older.

At least SOME queens appreciate true radiance and charm when they see it.

R9 I think she and Charlize Theron aged better than Angie.

Yes. Hedy Lamarr.

Hedy was also superior in brain power to Heroina.

Sophia!

[quote] Yes. Hedy Lamarr.

It’s Hedley damn it!

Yes, Gene Tierney.

Faye Dunaway in the late 60s and early 70s before Chinatown. Maybe not the most beautiful woman in Hollywood but definitely the most beautiful BLONDE in hollywood.

Ava Gardner

Michelle Pfeiffer

Mila Kunis

Megan Fox

Certainly

Hard to say. Angelina is beautiful…. But so was a young Elizabeth Taylor in her prime..

Angie really had it.

Unfortunately, she seems to have been the one who set off the current fad for cosmetically enhancing lips to the point that the whole face looks cartoonish.

R17 - I agree - Elizabeth Taylor was truly the most beautiful woman during her younger years. As a young child, she was almost angelic and, even as she aged, she still looked good although the 'fat years' were not her best. Her acting was just OK although I thought role Butterfield 8 mimicked her real life to a certain extent. The Real Liz came out in 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf' - and the rest is history.

Yes, but R22, Angie's lips are real. When she was younger, and fish lips were not yet en vogue, she used to cover her mouth a lot in a very self-conscious manner. She must have been teased a lot as a kid. If you watch early interviews, you can see her little nervous tic at play.

[quote] I thought role Butterfield 8 mimicked her real life to a certain extent.

She was the slut of all time?

Mila Kunis, R19?

hahahahahahahaha

OFGS. Elizabeth Taylor, that's who.

Elizabeth Taylor, Hedy LaMarr, Ava Gardner, Lena Horne, Sophia Loren, and probably a dozen more I could name if I really think about it. Angelina was a beauty in her prime, but certainly not more than the ones already mentioned.

Many! Angelina Jolie’s features are too exaggerated for my liking. There was a puffy, dough-like quality to her face when younger that has since been replaced by a gaunt, mask-like visage.

Halle Berry is quite pretty but not at all striking, IMO, and her styling is usually disastrous.

Isabelle Adjani and Michelle Pfeiffer are the two most beautiful of my lifetime.

[quote] Michelle Pfeiffer

Is the “p” silent?

[quote] Isabelle Adjani

I saw The Driver by Walter Hill and I was convinced that Isabelle is one of the most beautiful women ever. Whenever she appears on screen, you can't stop looking at her.

Jennifer Connelly and Halle Berry, most beautiful

Vanessa L Williams, Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne.

All much prettier than Angie in their prime.

I'm sticking with Audrey.

Once in a generation, someone’s beauty is truly unworldly. Angelina and Marilyn are examples

Elizabeth and Sophia are a close second.

Chee.

Marsha Warfield

Candice Bergman???

No mention of this woman?

Jolie's mega-wattage star presence + her beauty made her otherworldly.

15 to 20 years ago she ruled the Red Carpets.

Emerging from her limo at the Academy Awards, timed, of course, to arrive last, she was like, "Here I am. I've deigned to descend from my lair in the exosphere to give you mere mortals a glimpse of me."

And damn, she pulled that off.

Admit it, bitches.

Love her, hate her or be indifferent to her, you know that's true.

Back then.

Ava Gardner

Yes.

Does the pick have to have an eating disorder like Angie or not?

[quote] Was there ever a more beautiful woman than Angelina Jolie in her prime?

Her.

Jolie is "sexy" more than beautiful imo. Theron on the other hand isn't quite as "sexy" as Jolie but is more of a natural beauty.

Absolutely.

The bar was much lower in “the olden days” so some of the references to actresses from the “golden” age of hollywood are kind of laughable.

Yes, and some have already been named. I would add Raquel

Elizabeth Taylor in her prime was stunning. She had quite a personality, too. I do agree that Angelina was stunning, too though, but Elizabeth just had "It." Raquel Welch, another beauty. My dad always had a thing for her. My mom thought Faye Dunaway was just beautiful, too. Especially in Bonnie and Clyde.

They’re have been many.

She's up there

How much have they paid you to shill for Saint Angie, OP?

Did we ever learn what really killed Raquel Welch?

Why didn't Raquel's death get hardly attention?

Jolie was not as beautiful as Turlington. Christie was so exquisite and pristine andvhasca warmth, in comparison Angelina was cold, vulgar and coarse and has the crazy eyes and lantern jaw.

Thread Closed

I've always felt that the two most beautiful actresses of our time are Angelina Jolie and Hindi film star Aishwarya Rai.

A friend took me too a Hindi film long time ago--it starred Rai. When her whole face filled the screen, I literally sighed.

More Aishwarya

Sharon Tate

Farrah Fawcett

Angelina had some good material to start out with. BUT: significant plastic surgery.

Angelina Jolie never had plastic surgery

Turlington and Jolie had to much plastic surgery. And Turlington was just her nose, but it was over done.

Michelle Pfeiffer. The end.

DL stans never believe that their faves have plastic surgery or use photoshop.

Yoo hoo!

R59 - yes that woman is quite beautiful. I have noticed that some of the most strikingly attractive people are of middle Eastern descent - both men and women. I was at a local grocery store yesterday and the cashier was a rather young woman wearing a headscarf and she had the most beautiful complexion - no makeup at all. I complemented her although I don't think she quite understood. Anyway, yeah, that woman is gorgeous.

R67 looks like a man.

Hi Angie @ R63!

None of these thots got anything on Cindy Crawford.

Cindy Crawford, like Brooke Shields, got very manly looking as they got older.

Speaking of Brooke Shields, nobody can compare to her in her youth. She was breathtakingly beautiful

R72, when did their looks start to go downhill?

Around menopause

Sure there lots of beautiful actresses but what makes Angie so mesmerizing is her star quality. Not only is she beautiful, but she has an intimidating star aura around her that makes her incredibly special.

I never fell for Angie's smoke and mirrors aura. I never disliked her, either. I felt everything she ever did was an act and I enjoyed watching her pull it off. The sheeple are so gullible.

the leg meme sums up Saint Angie

I shall submit Monica Bellucci- who was always more lush and approachable than Angie. Plus: she speaks French, Italian, and English fluently. Con: she's in a relationship with Tim Burton.

Monica was a beautiful young woman. Her face is very full. I wish she would age naturally and get rid of the long hair. She's sort of going the frozen in time look.

The Angelina stans on here are pathetic. That woman is not otherworldly, mesmeric, or radiating a special aura, other than a narcissist neediness that eclipsed her minimal talent decades ago. And yes, she has had significant plastic surgery. And no she is NOT sexy. Women that are/were more beautiful: Monica Belucci, Isabelle Adjani, Jennifer Connelly, Halle Berry, Naomi Campbell, Elizabeth Taylor, Gene Tierney, Hedy Lamarr, Faye Dunaway, Marilyn, Rita Hayworth, Claudia Cardinale, Ava Gardner, Brooke Shileds, Christy Turlington, I could go on…

Yeah, Angelina was quite pretty. I’ll leave it there.

R11 how funny.

To me the holy trinity of late 90s-2010 Hollywood beauties are Angie, Charlize and Halle.

I beyootiful and also genius.

[quote]Was there ever a more beautiful woman than Angelina Jolie in her prime?

Jessica Lange in Frances, Tootsie and The Postman Always Rings Twice. And she had a certain something that Jolie has never had.

I totally agree on Lange, and had that cult following for her immeasurable talent and world-class beauty. But Michelle Pfieffer had it too. Lange did better in finding powerful roles, but Michelle built an interesting portfolio too.

There were so few female character actors, it’s not like we have as many to choose from. I’m looking for female actors who possess beauty that was world-class, while having at least acting chops that are “superior”.

Emmanuelle Béart before she completely wrecked her face. She is hideous now.

R86. I remember her from that movie where she tried to play an angel and Michael E. Knight tried to play straight.

“Body Heat” era Kathleen Turner.

Jessica Lange was a better actress than M. Pfeiffer and A. Jolie. JMO. She had the je ne sais quois.

Jolie has a beautiful face, but her body isn't all that.

Jen Aniston had a better body.

But Jen is kinda busted in the face.

R92, which features don't you like?

I flicked thru American Vogue recently and, as much as the actual magazine is a piece of shit, there were quite a few gorgeous models in ads whom I couldn’t identify. When Chinese women are beautiful, they are absolutely flawless in a way that Western women never are.

Jean Shrimpton?

R93, her nose, chin and ears.

M. Pfeiffer opted for much too small a nose. I don't mind tweaks and lifts on lovely women but I don't think it should be noticeable and you want a bit of voluptuous naturalness. What you have in many examples above are beautiful women, say 8 or 9, who fiddled with nature to try to be the "perfect" version of what genetics gave them. Finally the ones who are naturally pretty can end up being the most beautiful over the age of 40 if they leave their faces intact and work on their personalities an acting skills. They will often cave in their 60s, however, and redo their faces.

A few who did not redo and got better looking for it: Geraldine Chaplin, Jeanne Moreau, Katharine Hepburn.

One who never noticeably redid and was always gorgeous, young to old: Charlotte Rampling.
