1. You're entitled to your opinion, of course.
She was a bit thin, but I have to go with the crowd on this one and say she was beautiful.

5. good GOD look at them eyebrows.
Yeesh.

As a straight chick, I can say that she was definitely a looker. Perhaps if she hadn't have been a movie star and had that effortless, timeless style, she wouldn't have looked as good. I think her polished clothing and makeup choices add sooooooooo so so so so much to her overall attractiveness.

34. Well different strokes for different folks...
1/4. Lauren Bacall is gorgeous. The other three...not so much...Sandra Bullock being the only one of the three I'd say is even of average attractiveness.

12. Grace was absolutely gorgeous, of course.
But I never really felt she connected with us movie watchers as warmly as Audrey Hepburn did.
I always felt she was a beautiful little girl playing dressup.

Edited on Fri Feb-05-10 05:11 PM by barb162
I'd say Grace Kelly or Hedy Lamarr in their youth were classically beautiful

Well, I used to have two eyebrows, but I plucked the top one off...

10. Aww, c'mon!
She's a great beauty not because she matches some sort of caliper-measured perfection of proportion, but because she reaches through the camera lens and NAILS us with her extraordinary eyes, extraordinary focus, a look that makes us imagine we know what she's thinking.
Of course, the camera has decided what we think is beautiful for a long time now. But we don't seem to demand such presence from our movie actresses anymore. That's a good thing probably because we see much better acting these days....Still...Audrey Hepburn was probably the last in a long line that stretched all the way back to Garbo.
Sigh. I love the movies. The old ones.

30. Have you looked up Chuggo on rapdict?
Chuggo grew up on Lakeshore & Islington in Toronto, Canada between a KFC and a Strip club. For the first 7 years of his life his head grew bigger due to a lot of T.V. Dinners. He discovered music at age of nine in the form of X-Clan, N.W.A., Tim Dog, Kool G. Rap and Def Leppard. Even though he didn't learn to snap his fingers till he was twelve nothing could stop him from enjoying the latest from Public Enemy. Chuggo is not an emcee he is a rapper. In late 2002 Chuggo began to work in the studio and released his first solo 12-inch vinyl in 2003. Chuggo is a member of The Lakeshore Stranglas "the most dangerous rap group this side of the border" alongside 2Gats, White Fang, Black Male, Koshur and Ritz Nabisko. In 2005 Chuggo was featured as a wanted top 10 criminal on the 222-tips website, with Canadian authorities seeking to apprehend him for creating possibly the worst music in history. He was later jailed for an absolute lack of talent and being a complete failure at life in general. Chuggo only spent 6 months in jail after being anally destroyed for consistently yelling out "AAAARRRRGH C'mon, fuck a GUY", which attracted inmates attention somewhat.

He sings the best rap song ever, called AAAARRRRGH C'mon, fuck a GUY

35. Thank you, Bucky.
I've never heard of Chuggo, so I didn't have a clue what y'all were talking about.
I still think Audrey Hepburn was beautiful.

But in her prime she was crazy over-the-top gorgeous.

23. Audrey Hepburn was smokin' hot -- even into her sixties...
.
... but I was pretty sure I would have offered to make her a
coupla sammitches before we went to bed and burned the house
down around us.
.

.
.
College. My friend Steve and I are watching "Rear Window" -- Grace Kelly's first
scene where Jimmy Stewart wakes up and opens his eyes and she comes slowly into
focus in an UBER-closeup.
.
Both Steve and I moaned out loud simultaneously... and found that both of us
ALWAYS moaned at that very moment, no matter how often we had seen the movie.
.
Lauren Bacall was absolutely stunning at 18 in "To Have and Have Not" (with the
famous "just put your lips together and blow" line), but it didn't take long for
her to look really HARD (at least to me).

AUDREY HEPBURN’S BEAUTY SECRETS
 
This is a poem that Audrey Hepburn shared with her family just weeks before she died.   When you read her ideas about redemption, think of the animals.
 
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
 
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his fingers through it once a day.
 
For poise, walk with the knowledge you never walk alone.
 
We leave you a tradition of the future.  The tender loving care of human beings will never become obsolete.
 
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, redeemed and redeemed and redeemed.  Never throw anyone away.
 
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand you’ll find one at the end of your arm.
 
As you grow older, you’ll discover that you have two hands:  one for helping yourself, the second for helping others.
 
You’ve great days still ahead of you.  May there be many of them.
*****

This is a poem that Audrey Hepburn shared with her family just weeks before she died.

48. I've always said I want to age like Audrey and Jackie O.
They both aged so beautifully, without the snipping and stretching and plumping and whatever.

But I'd never seen this poem before! It says a lot, about inner beauty. Thanks for sharing that.

41. Disagree.
Most beautiful slender long femme neck that ever was. I want to kiss it. She had the physical grace of a swan.

Her kids are easy on the eyes too.

She has a hybrid tea rose named after her. (Let's see Sandra Bullock, Raquel Welsh do that!) I bought a sample for my wife and our garden years ago. It lived for years and provided the most beautiful peach flesh colored roses. We named it Audrey.

careerwise, and all.

49. It's so amazing how people have such different tast but at the
same time it's normal. It's comes down to what we as individuals are attracted to. I think she's absolutely stunning as far as her looks go. And, the poem that was posted above demonstrates her inner beauty. I have that poem in my office at work. She devoted her later years in humanitarian arenas. She's one of my favs. of all time....but, as the saying goes "different strokes for different folks."
