AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the question of who is considered the prettiest person, specifically among celebrities, both past and present. Participants express varied opinions, with some stating that attractiveness is subjective and often tied to personal connections, such as being in love. Many contributors assert that they do not find most celebrities attractive, citing perceived lack of intelligence or authenticity as detractors. Several names come up, including classic stars like Hedy Lamarr and modern actresses like Jessica Alba and Sandra Bullock, with some participants sharing personal anecdotes about encounters with celebrities. The conversation also touches on the idea that physical beauty can be overshadowed by personality traits, with references to the “ugliest pretty girl” concept. Overall, the thread highlights a mix of admiration for celebrity beauty while also critiquing the superficiality often associated with fame, emphasizing that true attractiveness often lies beyond mere physical appearance.

I've always had a thing for Ellen Barkin in Buckaroo Banzai and The Big Easy. She is sooo shy-yet-sex-kitteny. Though time has not been very kind to her.

They say attractiveness is related to strong symmetry in features. Ellen's sexy crooked smile is a powerful refutation of that principle.

Joey Lauren Adams, Selma Hayek, Uma Therman, Gabrielle Anwar. I have no idea what these women are actually like and that could drastically change my opinion of how I perceive them. But from the way they look and the roles I've seen them play I think they are the celebrities that are most attractive to me at this moment.

I am being frank. I certainly am referring to the kind of attractiveness one mentions in the OP. I say what I mean, and I mean what I say, otherwise I wouldn't make such a comment. Sure I like the women here, and I especially appreciate the intelligence and interesting interactions.

Attactiveness is not everything. There person inside is what really counts.

I would hope, and I expect, that that is not the case.

ok I am sorry if i sounded rude.so have u seen all pf ladies? which one is the prettiest?:!)

A critic once called Ellen barkin "the prettiest ugly girl in Hollywood". Her attractiveness is definitely non-standard, but she exudes such intrinsic self possession, confidence, and verve that she's downright magnetic.

She's beautiful, and the rest of you are stunning, but what's interesting is that I am prettier than all of you put together.

I wonder who the ugliest pretty girl is. I never can figure that stuff out. I just found out the other day that Ellen Muth (Dead Like Me) is "ugly". All this time I thought she was so sexy and cute.

I can vouch for that. I've seen him!

The Champions! I have been going nuts trying to remember that program. It was briefly on US TV back in 68-69.

And its on DVD!

Thanks, B! You made my day!

Oh, yeah, Alexandra is gorgeous - and 4 languages (not counting English) - wow!

Your welcome. I had a crush on her ever since my father made me watch a few episodes back in the 80's... around the same time that I was forced to watch This Island Earth, Forbidden Planet and The Great Escape. Movies i'll never forget (maybe because I have them on DVD? lol)

When it comes to most movies and music, I typically don't have the same taste as most people around my age. While growing up I was told that I was born 20 years too late:biggrin:

So, you're attributing stupidity to celebrities based on what?

Also, physical attractiveness is independent of someone's mental capacity.

No matter how hard I try to look at the physical attractiveness, the intelligence of the person always, somehow mystically, has an effect on the "apparent physical appearance". Besides, what could be more cute than a cute girl who is interested in mathematics!? :-p

I'm not fully sure what you mean, but I think Angelina Jolie looks horrible. She doesn't look healthy. Many people tell me she's hot, but I've never understood if they really believe in it themselves, or if they are only saying it because they think they are somehow supposed to say so.

My honorable mentions of living contemporary actresses (in no necessary order):

Marisa Tomei, C. Zeta-Jones, Diane Keaton, Nicole Kidman, Susan Sarandon, Charlize Theron, Audrey Toutou, Uma Thurman, Lucy Liu, Rachel Weiss, Halle Berry, Drew Barrymore, Juliana Moore.

Plus the lead actress in that WWII film whereby in small-town Italy a woman's husband goes to war and she has to fend for herself; after the war she is branded as a traitor for sleeping with the enemy; when the "dead" husband returns, there is only one man to assure him of his wife's faithfulness. (Highly recommended.) [Edit: Monica Bellucci in Malèna (2000): http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0213847/183.jpg]

Ugliest pretty girl - Maria Shriver - no contest. When you watch her on tv it's like the face of a cadaver keeps appearing. <shudder>

Kim Basinger certainly deserves mention as a real beauty. She was at her peak in the movie "Mother Lode".

I was ahead of my time, or perhaps just out of it.

I've come to the conclusion, I'm either on the wrong planet or in wrong universe - or perhaps both. I must have done something very bad, but I just don't remember. :biggrin:

I've been a Racquel fan forever and she's still a hot 67-year-old, or thereabout. Her look-alike Stefanie Powers didn't hurt the eyes either. But now, there are more famous pretty people than I can list. I'm thankful for my ability to separate physical beauty and personality so I can enjoy just gawking inanely with my bib on. I'm sure it helps that I don't know a thing about them personally.

I never saw a picture of Maria Shriver until you guys started criticizing her looks. Now that I have seen it I must say that her looks are not to my taste, they remind me of the saying: Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly is to the bone.

Well, the ugliest pretty celeb is probably among these: http://www.worth1000.com/cache/gallery/contestcache.asp?contest_id=10274&display=photoshop
Brad Pitt must be the most attractive celebrity. If he can survive a 'detouching' photoshop contest, then his looks must be indestructible.

What the critic meant by calling Ellen Barkin "the prettiest ugly girl" is that despite things that should detract from her looks; crooked nose, crooked smile, small eyes, she never-the-less manages to be exceptionally alluring, sexy, and magnetic by force of personality.

The "ugliest pretty girl" would, therefore, be that one who manages to be the least appealing, despite an attractive and sensuous exterior, by virtue of some ugly character flaw that leaves you feeling repelled.

These are among the top 15 models in the world.

Do you men find these women attractive?

They range from average to scary in my book.

Okay, no, maybe not;

No.

(But then, they are only models.)

Yep - too skinny. She looks too fragile. I'd be afraid to shake her hand.

In general, I do not find models attractive.
 
  • #87
a general rule of thumb for becoming a supermodel is that you must weigh roughly as much as the clothes you are sporting.

I don't think supermodels are supposed to be sexually appealing. I think they're supposed to look attractive in a look-but-don't-touch sort of way; kind of like antique china... only not as sturdy.
 
  • #88
Models are chosen now because they have a quirky feature that makes them stand out a bit. From Evo's selection I woudn't say any were unattractive (possibly with the exception of the first pic in your 'continued' post) but nor would I say any appealed to me.

That's what I don't understand - they don't look attractive, they walk funny (unnaturally), and the clothes look stupid. And people buy that C&@p and pay big bucks for it?

They look like they're anorexic...especially Calista Flockhart..(based on that picture)
but wait..maybe it's because she looks like she had a nose job done..(nose looks similar to michael jackson)

They are anorexic. Flockhart looks like she'd blow away in a strong wind. She needs to add about 20 kgs to herself.

Shes fine. Just has very little body fat. If you see her with a bit more flesh showing you can't see her ribs or anything. She has a French womans petite physique.

Actually Flockhart has an eating disorder. She claims that food has no taste so she doesn't like to eat. I know a lot of people that look anorexic, but they say that they can't taste food, or that food feels strange in their mouth, just a number of reasons that they find eating "distasteful". Eating is something that they almost have to force themselves to do. It's certainly not normal though.

She has very little protein (muscle) or bone for that matter. She's more twiggy than Twiggy. :rolleyes:

I've watched oprah and there was this french woman who wrote a book which dictated how a french woman eats. Well she followed the book and then videoed herself doing just that and she ate "lunch" which consisted of 2 slices of thin cheese which sandwiched a apple slice. Total lunch was about 1/2 inch tall :eek:.

I would say Calista Flockhart's physique is sort of like a grayhound...yes that must be it..

I'm French and French women eat like horses. The difference is that they eat a large lunch and a small dinner and they walk a LOT.

I thought you were Texan. Nothing wrong with being French, of course -- or Texan, for that matter.

I didn't generalize Evo. I guess that it's just this specific french woman on oprah that eats like a mouse. :smile:
