bhryun Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Gracing the screen with their unique beauty, which actresses come immediately to mind? Please add to my list! Vivien Leigh Hedy Lamaar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosinryanz Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Unique Beauty - how about Veronica Lake? Also on my list: Linda Darnell Rita Hayworth Lena Horne Cyd Charisse Betty Grable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhryun Posted July 24, 2005 Author Share Posted July 24, 2005 Hi, All excellent choices! I'm not sure about Veronica Lake. I think most of her beauty was the hair falling over half of her face. I suppose she would qualify as a beauty. I'll add Francis Farmer Ann Frances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimbo3200 Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 I've always thought that Ann Rutherford was one of the most beautiful people ever, especially when she was a little more grown up in the mid-40's. She was just as beautiful in her teens as Andy Hardy's girlfriend and in Gone with the Wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gagman66 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Rhonda Fleming was definitely Drop Dead Gorgeous people! WOW! So to was Maria Montez! Haven't heard anyone mention those two, or Susan Hayward either yet? Going back to the 30's, Constance Bennett was certainly a beauty! Going back to the 20's, Corrine Griffith and Delores Costello were both strikingly beautiful ladies as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhryun Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 Hedy Lamarr Gene Tierney Ava Gardner and others . . . Ingrid Bergman (a little less dramatic-looking than the others; she probably had her own category, to include the more fresh-faced beauties like Donna Reed, Paulette Goddard, Jeanne Crain) Linda Darnell Lena Horne Lana Turner (Grace Kelly was prettier but she didn't show up til the 50s) Brenda Marshall I'm sure I forgot some, but these come to mind right away.

bhryun Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 I am in complete agreement will all of the respondents choices. Couldn't have put it better myself! I am surprised that no one mention ARLENE DAHL. I though she made a few movies in the late forties but perhaps it was the early fifties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopoldsplumtree Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Slightly expanded list... Hedy Lamarr Gene Tierney Yvonne DeCarlo Linda Darnell Rita Hayworth Paulette Goddard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhryun Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 I don't recall asking Mongo to say anything. The question was not directed to him! I'm interested in what everyone has to say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhryun Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 Sorry Mongo for not fully reading the replies. I am in agreement with you! HEDY LAMARR has always been number one my list of beauties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fssbdgtsue59 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 My limited choices in addition to the others are: Greer Garson; Myrna Loy; Claudette Colbert; and Ginger Rogers although I'm not sure she was in the 30's or 40's. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
