Is beauty subjective or set in stone? As you might know, there are many advocates of the fact that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some of the women below achieved success with the help of their looks, but looks aren’t everything. If you are curious to see how beautiful they are, keep reading to see for yourself.

Michelle started in movies in the late 1970s, mostly playing supporting roles. This was short-lived, as she soon became more popular. Over the next two decades, she became one of the most popular beauties on the silver screen. Was this only because of her looks? Most would say no, since she managed to score many other, more important roles.

A Daily Telegraph contributor rightly said that she is the kind of raw beauty that you often find yourself looking at right in the middle of the conversation and you can’t help it.

Elizabeth became popular as Hugh Grant’s girlfriend after his success in the movie entitled Four Weddings and a Funeral. When the film premiered, Elizabeth wore a black Versace dress held in place with golden safety pins. This was also correlated with Versace becoming known as a household name.

After that, she became the spokesmodel for the Estee Lauder fashion house, although she had no modeling experience. Elizabeth also became popular due to her acting in Bedazzled and Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery.

Claudia started her career after she was recognized as the Most Beautiful Italian Girl in Tunisia in the contest with the same name. In fact, she was born of Italian and Tunisian parents, and she won a trip to Italy.

Despite her poor Italian skills, her beauty won her a few offers to act and model. In fact, during the early stages of her acting career, filmmakers had to dub over her raspy tone and a rough French accent. She became a UNESCO goodwill ambassador in 2000.

Sharon Tate started to act in movies long before she took part in Quentin Tarantino’s reiteration of the movie Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. She was a promising young actress whose fans adored her in both dramatic and comedic roles.

Sharon got married to Roman Polanski in 1968, who was both her director and co-star in The Fearless Vampire Killers. She was pregnant when she met her disturbing, senseless, and tragic passing.

This beauty is more than a successful actress, although she is known for starting her career in the TV version of Charlie’s Angels, playing the beautiful Kelly Garrett. Along with the rest of the Angels, Jaclyn became very popular.

She also returned in 2003 to play the same role in Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle. Jaclyn is a businesswoman, although she has continued to appear in many other mini-series and TV films. Her beauty didn’t go unnoticed, as she got married four times.

Kim started her stunning career in the 1970s. As she was turning into a successful model, she moved to Los Angeles to try out her acting skills.

She played in several TV films, but the main role that launched her into stardom was the drama, Hard Country. After this, she acted in many other movies, and she is still acting today.

It is impossible not to have heard of the beautiful Audrey Hepburn. She became popular after she played in Roman Holiday. This role earned her a BAFTA, an Academy Award, and a Golden Globe for Best Actress. Later on, she switched her focus to philanthropy.

Her humanitarian work received accolades both during and after she passed away. Audrey was the victim of a rare condition. Nonetheless, she is still remembered and loved decades after her passing.

Another 20th-century beauty, Elizabeth was born in an American family living in England. After World War II broke out, they all moved to California. As a young girl, her beauty was so accentuated that her mother would repeat many times that she needed to star in movies.

Elizabeth suffered from a genetic mutation which made her have two rows of eyelashes, uniquely framing her eyes. She started her acting career as a child, and she shortly turned into one of the most desired actresses in Hollywood. Later in her life, she promoted various philanthropic causes.

Charlize is yet another beauty whose talent made her stand out from the crowd. She grew up on a farm in South Africa. Initially, she wanted to become a ballet dancer, but her beauty made her a prospective model.

Later on, she decided to go for acting, and that seemed to have been an excellent idea. Charlize won the Academy Award for Best Actress, and this was awarded for her portrayal of Aileen Wuornos, the serial killer in the movie Monster.

Who hasn’t heard of Tyra? Whether it is her TV charisma or her beauty which launched her into a successful modeling career, Tyra is indeed one of a kind. She started back in 1990 when she began to work as a model with Elite Model Management, one of the most popular agencies in the world.

She was called the new Naomi Campbell, as she had a photoshoot for Vogue magazine in Spain, followed by GQ magazine, Victoria’s Secret, and many others. Perhaps, the most notable achievement of Tyra’s is her role as a host and executive producer on America’s Next Top Model.

You cannot make a beauty queen list without featuring Marilyn Monroe. A true symbol, Marilyn Monroe remains popular decades after her death. She is, in fact, one of the most popular celebrities in the world.

One of her notable quotes that she lived by was, “imperfect is beauty, madness is genius, and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.”

Continuing our list with a French beauty, Catherine became internationally known after her breakthrough role in Les Parapluies de Cherbourg. This is a one-of-a-kind French movie in which all the dialogue is sung rather than spoken, not unlike the opera.

Her career continues to move in an upward direction, as her role in Repulsion, another Roman Polanski movie, brought her even more fame. Her country recognized her talent by turning her into the official face of Marianne, who is the personification of liberty in France.

Aishwarya should come as no surprise for anyone who is slightly familiar with the most beautiful women in the world. She started her modeling career when she was still in college, and she won the title of Miss World back in 1994.

During the same decade, she started to act in different Bollywood movies. Derek Elley of Variety describes her acting through the words or “delicately sensual presence and physical grace”. One great aspect about Aishwarya is that, despite all her fame, she manages to keep her personal life away from the cameras.

If you do not know the original Bond girl, then you should meet Ursula. She starred in 1962 alongside Sean Connery in the iconic movie Dr. No. She had a strong Swiss-German accent, so her voice had to be dubbed over. Nonetheless, she became very famous after playing this role, which went down in history as one of the most iconic female leads.

Several years later, Ursula appeared in Playboy magazine. When she was asked why she agreed to that, she owned it like a star and simply replied: “Because I’m beautiful.”

If you are wondering who was one of the most beautiful celebs of the 1960s and 1970s, Ann-Margret is the answer. She is also a multi-talented person, with her breakthrough role in Bye Bye Birdie. At that time, she was already a successful recording artist.

While Sally Field might not get as much praise as the late Burt Reynolds for Smokey and the Bandit, she truly deserves some attention, too. She got involved with her co-star at some point, and she is also known for starring in a few other iconic titles, too.

Some examples are Mrs. Doubtfire, Forrest Gump, and Steel Magnolias. She also starred as Aunt May in the recent The Amazing Spider-Man movies. Her role in Lincoln won several accolades from critics, including the nomination for Best Actress.

Sparkly eyes and beautiful red lips – but there’s so much more to Vivien than what meets the eye. Similar to other women on this list, Vivien stated at some point that she was challenged by her beauty because it was casting a shadow on her acting skills.

At least one director agreed with this statement, stating that she indeed was a consummate actress who was hampered by beauty. She is most famous for her roles in A Streetcar Named Desire and Gone with the Wind. Unfortunately, she passed away due to numerous illnesses, meeting her untimely end in 1967.

Ava Gardner was born in South Carolina. Her strong southern accent made her almost impossible to comprehend when she tried to work for MGM. However, they quickly accepted her thanks to her pure beauty. In 5 years, she managed to reach the breakthrough point in a film known as The Killer.

She was a lead actress until the mid-1980s, but she ended up being diagnosed with emphysema and had two strokes, leaving her paralyzed. Her life came to an end in 1990 due to pneumonia.

I Dream of Jeannie was Barbara’s debut movie back in the 1960s. As she is a stunning blonde, not many people know that her character was originally supposed to be a brunette.

However, the producers decided to depart from the script once they saw how funny, witty, and beautiful Barbara was. She fit in perfectly, so they decided to hire her anyway. That was a great decision, since Barbara became incredibly popular.

Lauren comes with her own particularly distinctive voice and appealing looks. She was recognized as the 20th greatest female star of Hollywood. Later in her life, she received numerous accolades, including an honorary Academy Award, which aimed to recognize her “central place in the Golden Age of motion pictures”.

Like many other beauties, she started as a model. One of her first appearances was on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar magazine and Vogue.

Barbara has always been dreamy and determined. At only 16 years old, she moved from Canada to Los Angeles to become a celebrity. She started as a backup singer and dancer for major stars in all sorts of nightclubs. In 1961, she played in her debut role in the low-budget movie 20,000 Eyes.

In the late 1960s, she attained a few minor roles, which culminated with her role in the 1971’s comedy Up Pompeii. Some stated her success was due to her beauty, to which she replied that she doesn’t mind it as long as her beauty pays for the bills.

Sophia is well-known for her acting career, and to this day, she is one of the most adored actresses in Italy. She started her career at only 14 years old, and she is still shooting nowadays.

One stand-out fact about Sophia is that she was never shy to show the world one tiny detail about herself – she doesn’t shave her armpits!

Vanessa won the public’s hearts when she won the title of Miss America back in 1984. However, she went through personal problems and had to give up the title. This made many people fear that she would simply disappear from the public scene.

Fortunately, she came back in 1986 when she started her acting career. One of her most sparkling roles was in Ugly Betty, for which she won a SAG award, a Golden Globe award, an Emmy, and numerous nominations. She also recorded a few albums, including The Sweetest Days and The Right Stuff.

Jane Birkin is perhaps the first beauty on our list who debuted as a… girlfriend! She attained her fame due to her long-term relationship with Serge Gainsbourg. Despite this, Jane was also talented, and her career in French and British cinema is the proof.

When she broke up with Serge, she remained successful, mostly due to her roles in movies such as A Soldier’s Daughter Never Cries and Red Fox. Another fact about Jane is that, after she stated she couldn’t find a weekend bag she liked, Hermes named one of their products after her.

Maybe not a popular choice for beauty queens, Julie Andrews remains stunning, even as she has aged well into her 80s. She is still in the public eye, and she is as graceful as ever.

Most of the rest of her career was impacted by this role, and she appeared posthumously in the 2019’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

Kim Novak was initially expected to compete with 20th Century Fox’s Marilyn Monroe and Columbia Pictures’ Rita Hayworth. Instead, Kim managed to find her own place in Hollywood as soon as she started acting in Vertigo, an Alfred Hitchcock movie.

Rita’s family moved to California when she was 10. Before that, she had already started her dancing career in New York venues. In the 1930s, she scored many roles in dancing movies. The next decade offered her the opportunity to play in more serious titles, while the 1950s came with hardships.

Rita started to have drinking and financial problems as younger actresses took her place. For many years, she suffered from what was finally understood as Alzheimer’s disease, and she departed from this world in 1987.

Hedy is perhaps the most fascinating personality on our list. First of all, she received the Guinness World Record for being the first female to be recorded to do… well, certain adult activities. Fortunately, this is not the only thing that makes her stand out from the crowd.

She filed a patent for “frequency hopping”, which aimed to sort out the problem of enemy vessels jamming the radio signals used by submarines. This patent remained unused for years until it finally became the foundation of many other subsequent military and civilian inventions.

Jacqueline is an English actress who started her career in the 1960s playing in blockbusters. After Bullitt, she took part in more serious titles, such as Day for Night.

In 1977, she starred in The Deep, in which she is remembered for coming out of the water wearing a white T-shirt. This is perhaps what cemented the popular wet T-shirt competitions nowadays.

Anita, although she has Swedish heritage, she appeared in numerous European and American movies throughout her career. However, she was based in Italy, where she obtained fame after her main role in La Dolce Vita.

Her beauty made her stand out from the crowd from an early age as she worked as a model. In 1950, this culminated with Anita receiving the Miss Sweden title.

Julie adds another feature to our list of beauties – long life! In 2019, she passed away at the impressive age of 106. The star managed to outlive most, if not all, Golden Era stars.

She was the last surviving personality who worked with the Three Stooges. Her career debuted more than 80 years ago, but her most famous period was in the 1940s. Her actual birth name was, in fact, Gladys Camille Sorey.

Our last beauty is more of a pop culture phenomenon than anything else. Rachel became popular in 1966 when she wore a fur bikini in One Million Years BC. Then, she participated in more titles, such as Bedazzled in 1967, Bandolero! in 1968, and 100 Rifles in 1969.

As her career is long and peppered with numerous other titles, there’s one more important movie to mention: Legally Blonde. She received the Imagen Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award back in 2001 due to the positive promotion of her Latin heritage.
