So I thought the other thread was an interesting topic, but I couldn't bring myself to contribute to such a crude thread.

My list:
Marlene Dietrich
Grace Kelly
Marilyn Monroe
Brigitte Bardot
Sophia Loren
Rita Hayworth
Audrey Hepburn

I agree with your assessment of that thread.

To your list I'll add Linda Darnell, Jennifer Jones, Elizabeth Taylor, Lana Turner, and Gina Lollobrigida.


The last-named was immortalized in an immortal lyric in the Broadway musical, Ankles Aweigh:

My personal top 10 in alphabetical order - (I confined my list to actresses working in the 40s, as that was the topic of the other thread)

1. Ingrid Bergman





2. Linda Darnell





3. Ava Gardner





4. Greer Garson





5. Virginia Grey





6. Rita Hayworth





7. Veronica Lake





8. Alexis Smith





9. Gene Tierney





10. Lana Turner





If I had to pick one lady it would be Gene Tierney - I recently saw Leave Her to Heaven on the big screen and my breath was taken away by her first entrance:



Just stunning!

Anna May Wong was gorgeous.

I love looking at Ida Lupino and Dorothy Dandridge.

Dorothy -





Ida Lupino is in one of my favorite episodes of The Lucy/Desi Comedy Hour:

' Howard look! A swimming pool - and it's bigger than ours!

Honey? That's a lake.

It must cost a fortune to keep it heated. '
Lucy & Desi & Howard & Ida

She never really made it to "star" status but I've always had a soft spot for Pamela Tiffin - - - she was simply gorgeous.

I'd like to add Heddy Lamar (didn't see her above, but maybe I missed her).

Also a favorite of mind and a personal friend, sadly no longer with us, Andrea King:
