Yes, classically beautiful means you have more work done than the cistine chapel, jolie, theron and berry. And I think marilyn monroe had work done as well.
Todd you rascal. Great post. I'm 62 & love your marginal site. I hate to tell you man, but you're starting to mature. What the fuck next? Someday you'll be posting drivel like mine and wondering "where have all the good times gone?" KUTGW !
Uh, Angelina Jolie is a classic beauty? She's had more plastic surgery than Joan Rivers - the only difference between the two is that Jolie had more to work with to start and she's younger.
7, you suck huge donkey balls. Marilyn Monroe was a great actress who just didn't get good roles. "All About Eve", "The Misfits" are two great examples. Unfortunately, they were basically her first and last roles.
Where are the real MEN of cinema today? Chuck Heston, Kirk Douglas, John Wayne and Gregory Peck could wipe the floor with any of them today. Only Butler, Crowe, and Bale have any manliness about them. I'd pay real money to see EL CID era Heston go up against TROY era Pitt. Old "frog feet" would run screaming.
Audrey Hepburn, but not Katherine? For shame. My time machine fantasy would involve going back to the mid-40s and being in a Katherine Hepburn/Lauren Bacall sandwich.
Paul Newman... DREAMY! No actor today can touch how beautiful he was- The guys today that are supposed to be good looking Zach Effron, Rob Patterson, etc. All girls! Even the more mature guys (Clooney, Pitt, etc) can't hold a candle. Gregory Peck- sigh. Oh I wish Hollywood had real men again. All the guys now look like they would shriek like a school girl if they saw a spider. Please bring back MEN!
No actress in Hollywood's history has been more beautiful than Elizabeth Taylor in "A place in the sun". So fresh and delicate...it's a pity that by the late 50's, although still beautiful, she was beginning to get heavier and acquired a 'tired' look in her face

So fresh and delicate...it's a pity that by the late 50's, although still beautiful, she was beginning to get heavier and acquired a 'tired' look in her face ------------------------------------------------- PS. And that includes Marilyn Monroe in "some like it hot"-unbearably sexy but not as beautiful as Taylor
Yeah, I'm with 30, 38 and 56 - what the hell, Todd? How could you not put Grace Kelly and Ingrid Bergman up there? They both blow MM and Jane Russell out of the water!
Agree with the general gist of the post, Todd, but angelina jolie is no "classical" beauty. Exotic beauty, maybe, but not classical. It's actually Megan Fox that has the classically beautiful features, behind the tats, overdone makeup and raggedy jeans.
It's funny that you're complaining about the classlessness of today's female celebrities, Todd. You are one of those bloggers who gives those women a forum and validates their delusions of being important and of value to society by declaring them to sex symbols (that brainless object of obsession of yours for example) and make them pop culture icons for a while. There is a very big difference between those classy sexy women you're praising in this post and the porn stars in training you're reporting on. If you're really missing the classiness of the past then I would suggest you stop posting about those scantily clad bimbos and more about women who don't need to undress themselves to show how sexy they are.
But let's not fool ourselves. You love those 'skanks' and you wouldn't even know what to do with a classy woman.
Rita Hayworth is my favorite Hollywood star of the bunch - if you haven't seen Gilda, go f'ing rent it right now. Sure, it's got a weird gay subtext, but it's really twisted and witty and Rita was NEVER more beautiful. Her legs in the carnival costume are insane. You can understand why a man would do crazy things for her.
THOSE ARE REAL WOMEN YOU CAN RESPECT AND LUST AFTAR UNLIKE THE WHORES WE HAVE NOW FULL OF SHIT AND SILICON IN THEIR USED UP BODYS WHAT THE HELL HAPPEN TO WOMEN , TH ONES IN THE PICS HAVE GREAT BODS AND NOT JUST SKIN AND BONES
sorry to burst anyone's bubble but most of the so-called "classic beauties" have had work done. Check before and after photos on the internet. And they had some forms of surgery available back in the day also, I know Rita Hayworth had her whole hairline raised for instance. Virtually everyone has had something done.
Rita was married 5 times. WTF. Either had really bad luck or there was something really wrong with her.
Also, people think that everything was so much classier back then, but I think they all fucked around just as much, only hid it better.
Husbands: James Hill (2 February 1958 - September 1961) Dick Haymes (24 September 1953 - 12 December 1955) Prince Aly Khan (27 May 1949 - 26 January 1953) Orson Welles (7 September 1943 - 1 December 1948) Edward C. Judson (29 May 1937 - 22 May 1942)
Great thread. I agree with everyone who thinks this thread was good. Yeah,some like Rita had work done.However, they did not look artifical with that current tell tale sign of a pulled face, scrunched nose, etc. ALSO, those ladies and guys knew how to act. Rachel MsAmads, Jolie are notrbeauties, but they can act. Nicole Kidman should not have had work doen on her face, but she canact. Jennifer Anniston plays herself and her Rachel character which is herself invery movie. MERYL STREEP-a beauty and who can act.Each part is different and takes on a different look,voice, etc., for the character and shenever plays as Meryl Streep. Those actors of back when knew their craft. Many movies now are remakes of their work.Many actors of today can't act.They entertain,but can't act. British actors are far better than American ones and that is why they sweep at our Oscars. Cate Blanchet and the rest and ones from that Royal Academy of Arts learn their craft. The Aussies are good actors too.
