Because beauty is subjective, any ranking of the most attractive persons in history will generate intense disagreement. Many of these women become successful because of their appearance, so if we’ve sparked your interest, see which women we’ve chosen… Let’s discover who is the most stunning of the bunch.
Pfeiffer, Michelle
Michelle Pfeiffer was one of the most popular actresses on the hollywood in the 1980s and 1990s, thanks to her superb performance and stunning beauty.
In her late-’70s films, she managed to escape the stereotype of the gorgeous girl, landing a supporting role in Scarface, which led to increasingly serious roles as she climbed to fame.
Hers is “the kind of beauty you find yourself automatically marveling at mid-conversation,” according to one Daily Telegraph contributor.
Cardinale Claudia
Italian-Tunisian Claudia Cardinale began her career after winning the “Most Beautiful Italian Girl in Tunisia” award, which earned her a trip to Italy.
Despite her struggles with Italian (the Sicilian she knew from her parents is much different), her attractiveness drew modeling and acting opportunities.
Her gruff voice and French accent caused her voice to be dubbed over in the beginning of her career. She is a strong advocate for women’s rights and was named a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador for Women’s Rights in 2000.
Jaclyn Smith Smith is an accomplished actress and entrepreneur best known for her role as Kelly Garrett in the television adaptation of Charlie’s Angels.
She and the other Angels shot to fame thanks to the show, and she reprised her part in the film Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle in 2003.
For the rest of her career, Smith appeared in a slew of other TV movies and miniseries. Her beauty was not lost on her four husbands.
Kim Basinger Basinger began her career as a successful model in the 1970s before moving to Los Angeles to pursue acting. She appeared in several made-for-television films before making her feature film debut in the drama Hard Country.
Basinger became a poster girl after her appearance as a Bond girl in Never Say Never Again, which she carried into the 1990s. She has since been in other films and continues to act to this day.
Audrey Hepburn, actress
Audrey Hepburn rose to fame thanks to her distinctive appearance in Roman Holiday, in which she co-starred with Gregory Peck and won an Academy Award, a BAFTA, and a Golden Globe for Best Actress.
She focused on philanthropy later in life, and she was recognized for her humanitarian work both during and after her death. In 1993, she died of a rare form of abdomen cancer.
Her appearances in popular culture over the decades following her death are proof of her enduring legacy.
Taylor, Elizabeth
Elizabeth Taylor was born in England to American parents and migrated to California with her family shortly before World War II broke out.
Elizabeth’s remarkable beauty was so obvious as a child that her mother was regularly advised that she should appear in movies. Her two rows of brows were produced by a genetic abnormality, and they framed her eyes in an unusual way.
She rose to fame as a child star before becoming one of Hollywood’s most sought-after actors. She went on to act in a number of films and later became a supporter of Jewish causes and an advocate for AIDS awareness.
Monroe, Marilyn
Without Marilyn Monroe, one of the most well-known celebrities in the world, no list would be complete. ‘Imperfection is beauty,’ she observed, ‘madness is genius,’ and “it’s better to be utterly ludicrous than absolutely dull.’
Sophia Loren is a famous actress.
Sophia Loren is a well-known actress and one of Italy’s most popular and adored celebrities. She began her profession at the age of 14 and continues to make films today.
She’s starred in a number of films, including The Pride and the Passion, A Countess From Hong Kong, and Grumpier Old Men.
But there’s something else about her beauty: she’s never been afraid to show the world that she doesn’t shave her armpits. We hate to acknowledge it, but it doesn’t change the fact that she is stunning.
