Who do you think is/was the most beautiful filmstar whose look/style you liked best?

[ZZZenAgain]

I think maybe the Austrian born Hedy Lamarr . You can't see in these black and white shots that she has green eyes but the contrast green eyes, black hair I think is lovely. Also despite the heavy dark lipstick they wore in those days I think there is something quite modern and natural about her, more so when she moves than in still shots.

So: whose look do you like? Link to a photo you like of that person.

It's a toss-up between Ava Gardner and Ingrid Bergman.

totally different look those two

stunning

Hedy Lamarr was stunning... As was Merle Oberon.

The film star I think most beautiful was Marilyn Monroe. She was just luminous. <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=3.bp.blogspot.com/_4U5higPb4w0/Re7Leip0j4I/AAAAAAAAAAM/s4rDXS5y6lk/s320/Marilyn%2BMonroe.jpg&imgrefurl=bennyisnotmyname.blogspot.com/2007/03/important-woman.html&usg=__9-wj96LhrEsBF5RA0obMoV_teiM=&h=251&w=220&sz=18&hl=en&start=62&zoom=1&tbnid=zldWfJnqANIAEM:&tbnh=109&tbnw=96&ei=R2kbTsCMCI6w8QPkh8H7Dw&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dmarilyn%2Bmonroe%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX%26rls%3Dcom.microsoft:en-gb:IE-SearchBox%26rlz%3D1I7SMSN_enGB325%26biw%3D1024%26bih%3D431%26tbm%3Disch&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=235&page=6&ndsp=13&ved=1t:429,r:9,s:62&tx=65&ty=63" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">This picture was taken on the set of her last, unfinished, film.

I like the photos that are less staged/obvious. She was a very complex woman and, despite her image, was one of the first women to have her own production company and to fight back against Hollywood "system".

Ava Gardner - also stunning. Now, I'd be very happy to look like that!

So so many.

Monroe obviously, Louise Brooks, Rita Hayworth, Pola Negri, Gene Tierney.. I can't pick just one!

The National Portrait Gallery has an exhibition of old Hollywood photos on at the moment called Glamour of the Gods.

The BBC had some of the photos up lady week: www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-14032484

Elizabeth Taylor, Vivian Leigh et al. So very very

Sorry, that link should be here

I should be going to see that with DH for our wedding anniversary

what about the cool blonde types? I also like their elegant, controlled look but I think a bit less

Grace Kelly

Tippi Hedren

Catherine Deneuve is another cool blonde but too cool for me. Of course she is beautiful but I always found something strange in the detached manner of her acting

Linda Darnell!
Empusa has good taste in well styled ladyfolk.

Aubrey Hepburn

I'm ever so slightly obsessed with the 20's through to 50's.

Watched Gilda the other day, I could spend all day watching old films!

Nastassja Kinski

Lauren Bacall. Great trousers!

I'm a 20s early 30s freak. Love the whole style - cars, furniture, clothes. Only thing I really don't like is that fashion they had of putting lipstick on only a part of your mouth so it looks a bit like a bird's beak. Not sure if anyone knows what I mean...

Very true, I don't think I've ever seen anyone make trousers look as glamorous as Bacall did!

I really like Lauren Bacall, she seems such a good sort but I don't think I personally find her really beautiful. Elisabeth Taylor when she was young. She was stunning already in National Velvet with those amazing eyes. Even more so than Vivien Leigh I thought.

dh really likes Gina Lolabrigida
Gina Lolabrigida

I love her in Buonasera Mrs Campbell

Audrey Hepburn

Can't do a link from Ipod but I vote for Cyd Charisse. Stunningly beautiful woman.

zzenagain I love that way of wear lipstick. But then it actually suits me, so I'm biased.

I assume you mean like the always wonderful Clara Bow?

Elizabeth Taylor was stunning! Such a shame that so many people now only now how she looked when she got older.

Another who passed away recently who I adored was Jane Russell
