R1, who do you think were/are the best-looking women ever?

by Anonymousreply 2June 21, 2025 5:15 AM

All four are undoubtedly beautiful women, but I look at the whole package.

Ava was sultry, sensual, and charismatic and she loved to have a good time, all of which add to her beauty. #1 in my book.

Vivien was exquisite, but tinged with fragility. A neurotic beauty that you admire from afar. #2

There's a sweetness to Gene's beauty. Maybe it's the cute overbite. But she seems more girl-next-door than goddess. #3

Hedy. Yeah, she was beautiful (and smart!), but she radiated zero personality. #4.

None of them aged well

R4, I think that was mostly due to excessive smoking and booze consumption.

by Anonymousreply 5June 21, 2025 7:44 AM

probably. In Gene T's case there were other factors.

Ava, Hedy, Viv and Gene. Though I find all of them stunning.

Gene.

The rest.

Gay men tend to put the thumb on the scale for the women they fantasize about being. This explains our love for the wisecracking, tempestuous, ironic, frank Ava.

Purely in terms of physical beauty? In my opinion, no contest.

Gene. Sublime, perfect, one of the most magnificent beauties ever to work in Hollywood.

Vivien — very pretty but her cheeks were a little too long.

Ava — she was known more for being sensual than beautiful. Her head was a bit pear-shaped — too narrow at top, too wide at bottom.

Hedy — her nose was too pinched, and looked like it had been pinched with forceps. Ruins her look imo.

Where’s Hayworth by the way?

I should add that, pear shaped head or not, Ava is the one I’d want to be.

Sorry, I have absolutely no desire to be a woman.

R13, did you used to post on IMDb?

I guess Gene wins

R9, in her own category

Did any of them ever have any work done?

by Anonymousreply 19June 21, 2025 9:52 PM

Hedy did later in her career, with disastrous results.

Why are so many people ranking Gene Tierney last?

A shame R20

Ava, Hedy, Gene and in last place Vivian. I don't know how you guys consider her beautiful? Her look is very pinched and brittle.

by Anonymousreply 34June 23, 2025 3:03 AM

R34, which facial features don't you like of Vivien's?

by Anonymousreply 35June 23, 2025 3:09 AM

None of them were able to touch the peerless beauty of Hope Emerson.

by Anonymousreply 36June 23, 2025 3:20 AM

R35 - I don’t swoon over thin lips, flat cheekbones, a mousy little chin, or that pinched, uptight nose. There’s something off-putting about a face that always looks like it just sucked a sour lemon.

Who was the best actress out of them?
