Catherine zeta jones on her wedding day. Brad pitt in thelma and louise. A girl I saw on the train the other night, astonishing, easily in the top 10 most beautiful faces I'd ever seen, in a tatty old tracksuit, just a girl. A teenage boy I saw once, half indian, with huge green eyes! Beautiful people are not ten a penny, but they are around. They are everywhere, not just on the tv

It’s interesting how tastes differ. To my eye Gillian Anderson is physically perfect, timeless and flawless. Whereas Julie Christie is plain, and Demi Moore looks like a rat.

Lol. :) Watch the trailer for the Go Between & tell me Julie Christie is plain! :) Heaven help the rest of us if so.

Gill Anderson looks not unlike the well groomed, tall, slim, wealthy 40/50 something women in the most expensive pockets of London to my mind. What distinguishes her is her presence. As you say, subjective, though.

Totally agree, she was beautiful in that film!

@sprigatito 😆Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that!
