Men Lacking Judgment

Doesn't Kim Novak belong to the color era?

Yup. Grace Kelly was prominently ranked in both lists - 10th or better, I think. You could make a case for her in the top 3. Probably there are at least ten that would make a suitable top three, if that makes sense.

Let's see: Grace Kelly, Ingrid Bergman, Audrey Hepburn, Olivia DeHaviland, Vivien Leigh, Sophia Lauren, Jean Simmons, Lauren Bacall, Claudia Cardinale, Kim Novak.

I think I'd work from the first four to come up with a list of the top three.

Ahh the impossibly beautiful Audrey Hepburn - how did I forget her? And don't forget Joan Fontaine

[warspite1]

Oh my, Claudia Cardinale - now there's a blast from the, rather gorgeous, past...

[Canoerebel]

Joan Fontaine and Olivia deHaviland were sisters, as I'm sure you know very well! Two beauties in one family.

And no wonder Gone With the Wind was so popular - two "top ten" actresses (deHaviland and Vivien Leigh) in a single flick.

She was a crossover, as were a number of others.

Thus far, nobody's mentioned Marilyn Monroe. She was ranked in the middle of both lists. She never caught my eye, and now she kind of seems like a caricature due to her fame.

Marilyn Monroe was certainly attractive. However, her original persona before she went with the dyed blond sexpot look was just stunningly beautiful.

As for your original complaint ... only 40 places and many beautiful women. Some were bound to be slighted.

Marily Monroe was a might fine specimen and should be definitely placed in the top ten of any list. Blonde or not.

Of course Grace Kelly deserves more than a passing mention....

She's #1 in my personal list of timeless beautiful women. [&o]

YES!

Something about this thread that makes me think of forestry.

[geofflambert]

That saw is long enough to cut down that tree? Must've taken them a couple of weeks.

I don't see the connection between sawing trees and beautiful women. Must be something wrong with me. (But you all knew that).

Don't worry, big pharma has got you covered [:'(]

[Canoerebel]

The casual reader might conclude that when Makee Learn looked at the photos of those beautiful women it brought big wood to mind. I dunno if that's true but it's possible.

It's more likely that Makee was being clever, referring to a legendary event of minor proportions, when one of my AARs fixated on trees for page after page of scintillating (to two or three of us) discussion.

I should say it. I want to, but I shouldn't . . .

Marilyn Monroe was very popular here:

In February 1954, actress Marilyn Monroe traveled to Korea to entertain the troops. Right before she flew into Korea, Monroe was in Japan on her honeymoon with Joe DiMaggio. She flew alone to Korea as DiMaggio was still attending to business in Japan. In the four days Monroe spent with the troops she performed ten shows. She later said that performing in Korea helped her get over her fear of live performances as she entertained audiences that totaled more than 100,000 troops. She remarked that the trip “was the best thing that ever happened to me. I never felt like a star before in my heart. It was so wonderful to look down and see a fellow smiling at me.”

A youtube video, look at how she is dressed in February in Korea and then look at how the audience is dressed. There was also a nice breeze there as well.

A bit late to the thread, but I would include a French beauty from the movie "The Time Machine". Not #1, but something about exotic eyes and high cheekbones draws me in every time. That's why Audrey Hepburn is my number 1 (but only when she is not smoking).
I give you Yvette Mimieux as a candidate ...

How men can keep cool judgment in presence of these hot ladies is beyond me.
