Top 150 Non-Anistons (Re-Ordered & Re-Evaluated for 2020)
by fedor8 | created - 10 Dec 2010 | updated - 2 months ago | PublicBeauty should be a simple and straight-forward concept - it is in fact scientifically measurable to an extent - but thanks to hype this isn't always the case. Tell the mouth-breathing masses often enough that an average-looking (or even unattractive) woman is beautiful - and eventually most people will start believing it. Media hypnosis is a powerful, effective tool and it rarely fails, especially in an environment dominated by ignorance and gullibility - like for example the western world of recent years.
This is the very essence of the popularity and status of privileged/elitist women such as Jennifer Aniston, who would never have passed a single audition had she not been born into a show-biz clan. Empirically average, yet hyped to such ludicrous extremes and for such a long time whereby most people were eventually duped into believing she's one of the most beautiful women in the world!!! Yes, it is shocking, funny, tragic, bizarre and idiotic - all at once.
And this is why beauty is NOT in the eye of the beholder. It is decided more often than not by the media, by hype, by liars and crooks. Beauty's beholder is the corrupt, fraudulent, hidden-agendas media.
Because I am fully immune to all types of propaganda, be it politics or women or music, there is hardly anyone else on the planet more qualified than yours truly to tell you which women deserve to be on a MOST BEAUTIFUL ACTRESSES list. And because I've seen over 4,000 movies and am a mini-expert in TV and cinema, this list is in fact the ultimate such list.
Aside from media hype, a combination of nepotism, blindness, bad taste, and gay casting directors (with gay aesthetics when it comes to women) are further reasons why women in film are becoming worse and worse. Whether Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Garner, Sarah Jessica Parker, Claire Danes, Jessica Biel, Milla Jovovich, Eva Mendez, or Drew Barrymore: increasingly homely and unfeminine women are being hyped as the next sex goddesses of cinema.
Think again. This list doesn't include any such estrogen-starved ladies. It's real women only.
Keep in mind that I didn't choose these photos. Obviously, some of the pictures of the older generations of actresses do not show them when they were young i.e. at their best. (Why anyone would place a photo of Anne Bancroft aged 98 on her page - beats me!)
The criteria used is primarily the face, and then charisma and sex appeal.
THE ORDER IS PRETTY MUCH DELIBERATE.
Here is where you can comment:
https://vjetropevsmusic.blogspot.com/2020/08/recent-movies-august.html
1. Gretchen Mol
Actress | The Thirteenth Floor
Gretchen Mol was born November 8, 1972, in Deep River, Connecticut, the daughter of a school principal, James Mol, and his artist wife, Janet. Deep River is a small community located on the Chester Bowles Highway (Rt. 9), nine miles northwest of Old Saybrook (home of the legendary Katharine Hepburn...
When you can actually make GRETCHEN sound sexy then you know you've got something.
My no 1, sort of. Tough to pick just one.
2. Laura Antonelli
Actress | Passione d'amore
Laura Antonelli was born on November 28, 1941 in Pola, Istria, Italy [now Pula, Istria, Croatia]. She was an actress, known for Passion of Love (1981), Malicious (1973) and The Innocent (1976). She was married to Enrico Piacentini. She died on June 22, 2015 in Ladispoli, Rome, Lazio, Italy.
THE sex-bomb of the 70s, but fairly rapidly lost her looks.
3. Helen Mirren
Actress | The Queen
Dame Helen Mirren was born in Queen Charlotte's Hospital in West London. Her mother, Kathleen Alexandrina Eva Matilda (Rogers), was from a working-class English family, and her father, Vasiliy Petrovich Mironov, was a Russian-born civil servant, from Kuryanovo, whose own father was a diplomat. ...
Unlike most of the women on this list, she played in a number of good movies. (Talking about the 70s and 80s, not this past decade.)
If I included the quality of the movies as well, she'd be unassailably the no 1 here.
Helen's physical transformation has been interesting. Slightly chubby, very voluptuous in the late 60s, then thinner and with curlier hair in the 70s and 80s, then with short hair in the early 90s (her weakest period), then the sexiest 60something in the history of film. I've been a fan of her beauty since I was a kid, and am glad she's become something of a sex icon in recent years.
4. Lesley Ann Warren
Actress | Victor/Victoria
Entrancing, gorgeous Lesley Ann Warren started gearing towards a life in show business right off the bat as a young ballerina who trained at the School of American Ballet at the age of 14. Little did she know that Hollywood stardom would arrive on her doorstep in the form of a "Cinderella" story.
...
Utterly sweet, and a perfect blend of cute and beautiful.
I.e. cutiful.
5. Sherilyn Fenn
Actress | Of Mice and Men
The sultry, versatile, petite (5' 4") beauty Sherilyn Fenn was born Sheryl Ann Fenn in Detroit, Michigan, into a family of musicians. The youngest of three children, her mother, Arlene Quatro, played keyboard in rock bands, her aunt is rock-star Suzi Quatro, and her grandfather, Art Quatro, was a ...
Cameron Diaz would give a leg to look half as good as she does.
Still looks good. Some genes age well.
6. Danijela Vranjes
Actress | Coriolanus
Danijela Vranjes was born on October 3, 1973 in Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia, Yugoslavia. She is an actress, known for Coriolanus (2011), Dara of Jasenovac (2020) and Dorcol-Manhattan (2000).
Well, what do you know. The other day (around 2010) I met Danijela, bumped into her through sheer chance. She'd always been my no 1 Serb-actress choice, so if I were a religious person I'd probably get all sorts of crazy ideas regarding this rather amazing coincidence.
She still looks fantastic, in her 40s. Of course, if there were an actual photo here, you wouldn't have to google her to see why she's on the list. Someone should put a photo here finally, this empty space is quite ridiculous.
A bit too thin, her only issue.
7. Connie Britton
Actress | Seeking a Friend for the End of the World
Connie Britton began playing country music fading sensation Rayna Jaymes in Nashville (2012) after having wrapped production for the five season long Friday Night Lights (2006) alongside Kyle Chandler. She previously appeared in Universal's Friday Night Lights (2004) -the movie- directed by Peter ...
One of the most photogenic women on the planet. She looks fantastic on every single pic, which is bizarre.
Another "bizarrity" is that she always looks a little older than she is, in her 30s and 40s. Yet even at 52 she beats 20 year-old Aniston by a huge margin.
But that's not much of a feat, of course.
It's very unfortunate that she plays in mostly crap movies. And usually doesn't get the lead role. Because she never said yes to Weinstein?
8. Amanda Crew
Actress | Silicon Valley
Amanda Catherine Crew was born in Langley, British Columbia. Her mother is a legal secretary and her father is a telecommunication worker. Amanda attended Brookswood Secondary School in Langley. She began her acting career when she was cast in the musical Dragon Tales during her fourth grade in ...
No, she cannot have a career like Mila Kunis, because Amanda is simply too good-looking - and doesn't have the "right Hollywood breeding" (if you know what I mean).
Very good actress too.
9. Cassandra Peterson
Actress | Elvira: Mistress of the Dark
Cassandra Peterson was born in Manhattan, Kansas, and grew up in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She began her career at age 17 as the youngest showgirl in Las Vegas history in the show "Vive Les Girls" at the Dunes Hotel. After receiving advice from "The King" himself, Elvis Presley, she traveled to ...
I'm ashamed to admit that I included her on the list only very recently, almost a decade after the list's inception. I'd always known about Elvira but had no clue how stunning she looked back in the 70s. Her vampiric look isn't that great.
10. Donna Dixon
Actress | Spies Like Us
Donna was raised in Lorton, Virginia, where her father owned the local nightclub, "Hillbilly Heaven". She was working as a model and attending college when she landed her first regular role on TV's Bosom Buddies (1980). While filming Doctor Detroit (1983), she met and married co-star Dan Aykroyd. ...
A classic beauty, the type ALL guys can agree on. But she is far more attractive than Grace Kelly or Katherine Deneuve, who both fall into the same category. The Barbie Doll category.
11. Anne Francis
Actress | Forbidden Planet
Anne Francis got into show business quite early in life. She was born on September 16, 1930 in Ossining, New York (which is near Sing Sing prison), the only child of Phillip Ward Francis, a businessman/salesman, and the former Edith Albertson. A natural little beauty, she became a John Robert Powers...
I prefer her at 30plus than at 20.
12. Laura Harris
Actress | Dead Like Me
Born to public school teachers in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Laura Harris began acting professionally in CBC radio dramas at an early age. With a taste for quirky, character-driven material, Harris is known for playing 1930's starlet "Daisy Adair" in Showtime's cult hit Dead Like Me (2003)...
She has a twin sister. Or not. Not sure.
13. Judi Bowker
Actress | Clash of the Titans
Judi Bowker was born on April 6, 1954 in Shawford, Hampshire, England, UK. She is an actress, known for Clash of the Titans (1981), Brother Sun, Sister Moon (1972) and Count Dracula (1977). She has been married to Harry Meacher since 1979.
Total innocence is her defining feature.
14. Camille Coduri
Actress | 4.3.2.1.
Camille Coduri was born on April 18, 1965 in Wandsworth, London, England, UK. She is an actress, known for 4.3.2.1. (2010), A Prayer for the Dying (1987) and King Ralph (1991). She has been married to Christopher Fulford since April 1992. They have two children.
Cute, likable, sexy.
Hence her career in films was doomed.
If she'd been ugly, unlikable and unsexy she might have had a shot at stardom.
15. Sarah Kennedy
Actress | The Working Girls
Sarah Kennedy was born on January 27, 1948 in Coquille, Oregon, USA. She is an actress, known for The Working Girls (1974), The Telephone Book (1971) and Barnaby Jones (1973).
16. Amanda Seyfried
Actress | Les Misérables
Amanda Seyfried was born and raised in Allentown, Pennsylvania, to Ann (Sander), an occupational therapist, and Jack Seyfried, a pharmacist. She is of German, and some English and Scottish, ancestry. She began modeling when she was eleven, and acted in high school productions as well as taking ...
Looks much better as a brunette.
One of the rare millennial actresses that deserve to be on the list.
17. Jenny Agutter
Actress | Logan's Run
Jenny Agutter was born on December 20, 1952, in Taunton, Somerset, England, UK. The daughter of an army officer, she spent her childhood traveling and living in different countries. Her film career began at the age of 12 in East of Sudan (1964), which was quickly followed by The Magical World of ...
Walkabout.
That's all I gotta say.
18. Milana Vayntrub
Actress | Werewolves Within
Milana Vayntrub is an Uzbekistan-born American actress, writer and stand-up comedian. She began her career making YouTube videos amounting over 11 million views, then turned her web content into an MTV pilot. In 2016 she was recognized by Adweek on the cover of their Creative 100 issue for her ...
Has everything going for her - talent, looks, body, charisma - except nepotism to catapult her into bigger movies.
Still, she is PC in terms of heritage and background.
On the other hand, Hollywood won't be too eager to push any actress with ample... assets.
19. Elizabeth Peña
Actress | Rush Hour
As she inherited her love for the arts by her father, well-known playwright, actor, director and novelist Mario Peña, it is not hard to understand that actress Elizabeth Pena already had designs to become an actress by the time she was eight years old.
Born in Elizabeth, New Jersey on September 23, ...
Forget Eva Mendez, Eva Longoria, and Salma Hayek. Liz is the hands-down most gorgoeus Latina Hollywood ever dumped on us.
Well, not dumped. She was generously offered, whereas the two Evas and Salma were unceremoniously dumped on us.
20. Jill Clayburgh
Actress | Bridesmaids
It came as no surprise to film aficionados when, in 1999, Entertainment Weekly named Jill Clayburgh on its list of Hollywood's 25 Greatest Actresses. For decades, she delivered stellar performances in a wide variety of roles.
Jill Clayburgh was born in 1944 in New York City, into a wealthy family, ...
Such innocence about her...
She was a liberal.
Appearances can be so deceptive.
21. Sanja Vejnovic
Actress | Tri muskarca Melite Zganjer
Sanja Vejnovic was born on August 8, 1961 in Zagreb, Croatia, Yugoslavia. She is an actress and producer, known for Tri muskarca Melite Zganjer (1998), Bliss (2021) and Banovic Strahinja (1981). She was previously married to Goran Mecava.
Prettiest Croat actress. Looked great as a young woman, even better in middle age.
22. Marija Petronijevic
Actress | Selo gori, a baba se ceslja
Marija Petronijevic was born on February 23, 1987 in Pozega, Serbia, Yugoslavia. She is an actress, known for Selo gori, a baba se ceslja (2007), Double Trouble (2016) and Nova godina u Petlovcu (2011).
If she'd been born the daughter of a Hollywood producer (or had the "right breeding"), she would have been the world's greatest film star by now.
But, as it is, she's almost totally unknown. One of Emir Kusturica's very few good deeds, hiring her for one of his stupid movies.
There's no photo here (typical), so you'll have to google her. Or just click here:
http://vjetropev.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-most-beautiful-serbian-women.html
23. Licia Maglietta
Actress | Pane e tulipani
Born in Naples in 1954, Licia Maglietta graduated in Architecture in 1981. Her first role on stage came the following year in 'Tango glaciale' by Mario Martone, the director who would also cast her in her film debut over a decade later: Death of a Neapolitan Mathematician (1992). The two worked ...
Italian cinema is the complete opposite of British cinema.
In Italian cinema film-makers try to cast the best-looking actress they can find. In British cinema they do the opposite.
And then they wonder about being tagged as eccentrics.
24. Pratyusha Banerjee
Actress | Balika Vadhu
Pratyusha Banerjee was born on August 10, 1991 in Jamshedpur, Bihar, India. She was an actress, known for Child Bride (2008), Comedy Classes (2014) and Gulmohar Grand (2015). She died on April 1, 2016 in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
Bollywood star, probably the prettiest they ever had.
Of course, I am guessing here. I have no clue what the others look like, nobody aside from Indians actually follows Bollywood. Considering that Bollywood is awash in nepotism, my guess is I may very well be right with my assessment.
She killed herself at a young age.
25. Colleen Camp
Actress | Clue
Colleen Camp was born in San Francisco, California. She began working as a juvenile actress at the age of 3 and was eventually 'discovered' while working as a bird trainer at Busch Gardens. She appeared on The Dean Martin Show (1965) and made her film debut in Battle for the Planet of the Apes (...

27. Milena Dravic
Actress | Horoskop
Born in Belgrade, Dravic was involved with the performing arts from the age of four: first with dance and later classical ballet. In 1959, while in high school, director Frantisek Cap saw her on the cover of a youth magazine in a ballet dancers group photo and decided on the spot to approach her ...
The Katherine Hepburn of Yugoslavian cinema.
Except that Milena is beautiful, charismatic and feminine.
28. Louise Germaine
Actress | Sharpe
Louise Germaine was born in 1971 in Margate, Kent, England, UK. She is an actress, known for Sharpe (1993), Hikers (1997) and Lipstick on Your Collar (1993). She has been married to Lea Carter since February 14, 1994. They have one child.
Typical British hottie. Reminds me a lot of an English girl I went to school with.
29. Jennifer O'Neill
Actress | Scanners
Jennifer O'Neill was born on February 20, 1948 in Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She is an actress, known for Scanners (1981), Summer of '42 (1971) and The Innocent (1976). She has been married to Mervin Sidney Louque, Jr. since 1996. She was previously married to Richard Alan Brown, Neil ...
Stems from an ultra-wealthy family, but all is forgiven when you look like this.
I meant that in the sense of Hollywood's elitism and nepotism, not in the sense of "rich people are all wicked". Only Hollywood's rich elites are all wicked, the others are a mixed bag.
30. Gina Philips
Actress | Jeepers Creepers
Gina Philips, born Gina Dawn Consolo, is a native Floridian. She has one sibling, Bobby Consolo, and was raised in Miami by her parents, Fredi and Robert. None of them have been involved in the entertainment industry. She dropped out the University of Pennsylvania one class shy of earning her ...
She always plays in relatively obscure films...
... Because she's too pretty for Aniston-bowing Hollywood? Because she refused to meet Weinstein in a dark casting room?
31. Greta Scacchi
Actress | The Player
Greta Scacchi was born in Milan, Italy, to Pamela Carsaniga, an English dancer and Luca Scacchi, an Italian art dealer and painter. She grew up in Milan and Sussex, England. In 1975, her mother and second husband moved to Australia, where, after she left school, Greta worked as an Italian ...
She was stunning back in the 80s. Looked pretty good afterwards too.
32. Lolita Davidovich

Much much better than Aniston, in every way, shape or form.
33. Christina Applegate
Actress | Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead
Christina Applegate was born in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, to record producer/executive Robert Applegate and singer-actress Nancy Priddy. Her parents split-up shortly after her birth.

34. Laura Ramsey

37. Pamela Franklin

British actress Pamela Franklin has worked with many notable actors and directors throughout her career. A somewhat underrated actress, she had a wide range of emotions that she brought to her many versatile characters. Franklin was born in Yokohama, Japan, and her father was an importer/exporter. ...
Extremely cute, and I'm baffled why there's no pic of her.
EDIT: Ah, finally.
38. Miranda Otto
Actress | The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Miranda Otto is an Australian actress. Otto is a daughter of actors Barry Otto and Lindsay Otto, and half-sister of actress Gracie Otto. She began her acting career at age 18 in 1986, and has appeared in a variety of independent and major studio films. Otto made her major film debut in Emma's War (...
Peter Jackson really screwed up by casting Liv Tyler, but he mostly made it up with this choice.
Mostly. Because casting Liv Tyler is tough to balance out. Even with Miranda Otter.
39. Marcia Gay Harden
Actress | Mystic River
Marcia Gay Harden was born on August 14, 1959, in La Jolla, California, the third of five children. Her mother, Beverly (Bushfield), was a homemaker, and her father, Thad Harold Harden, was in the military.

That middle name though...
40. Susan Hayward
Actress | With a Song in My Heart
Susan Hayward was born Edythe Marrener in Brooklyn, New York, on June 30, 1917. Her father was a transportation worker, and Susan lived a fairly comfortable life as a child, but the precocious little redhead had no idea of the life that awaited her. She attended public school in Brooklyn, where she...
A clueless left-winger back in the day, but what a beauty. Kind of like Vivien Leigh but prettier.
41. Cécile Bois
Actress | Candice Renoir
Cécile Bois was born on December 26, 1971 in Talence, Gironde, France. She is an actress, known for Candice Renoir (2013), Germinal (1993) and Gloria (2021).
Yup, Boiz like Cecile...
Almost as much as I like my dumb word-play.
42. Elisha Cuthbert
Actress | The Girl Next Door
Elisha Ann Cuthbert (born November 30, 1982) is a Canadian actress and model. She became internationally known for playing Kim Bauer in the series 24 (2001); Danielle in the teen comedy film The Girl Next Door (2004) and Carly Jones in the horror remake House of Wax (2005). She was voted the ...
Why implants?
43. Shirley MacLaine
Actress | Terms of Endearment
Shirley MacLaine was born Shirley MacLean Beaty in Richmond, Virginia. Her mother, Kathlyn Corinne (MacLean), was a drama teacher from Nova Scotia, Canada, and her father, Ira Owens Beaty, a professor of psychology and real estate agent, was from Virginia. Her brother, Warren Beatty, was born on ...
There is a scientific theory that correlates beauty and intelligence in a direct relation.
The theory could be wrong.
44. Thandiwe Newton
Actress | Crash
Thandiwe Newton was born in London. She is the daughter of Zimbabwean mother Nyasha, a health-care worker from the Shona tribe, and British father Nick Newton, who worked as a lab technician. She lived in Zambia until political unrest caused her family to move back to the UK, where she lived in ...
Forget Halle Berry and her surgically altered face. This one should garner all that attention.
Which brings me to why she is the only black woman on the list. For whatever strange reason, Hollywood can't bring itself to push careers of beautiful black women: they always seem to go for women that are unexceptional.
Furthermore, Hollywood execs don't seem to mind black women having ample cleavage, whereas nearly all the white women they push are far more modest in that department. Just one of the many dubious goings-on in corrupt, decadent, vile Tinseltown.
Having said that, Pam Grier is close. Latifa and Whoopie are definitely not.
45. Catherine Steadman
Actress | The Rook
Catherine Steadman is an English actress and author, best known for playing Mabel Lane Fox in series 5 (2014) of ITV drama Downton Abbey. Her debut novel, the psychological thriller, Something in the Water was published in June 2018 by Simon & Schuster UK and Penguin Random House USA.

A talented and captivating performer, she first garnered international attention with her role as "Marnie Mason" in Ivan Reitman's Twins (1988), starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito. With her diverse character portrayals in ...
A few decades back she looked perfect. And then she made all the right "religious" and marriage moves, as we all know.
47. Catherine Hicks
Actress | Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
Born in New York City and raised in Scottsdale, Arizona, Catherine Mary Hicks was a cheerleader at Gerard Catholic High School in Phoenix, Arizona, and graduated in 1969.

Very sweet, typical "All-American" type.
48. Melinda Dillon
Actress | Magnolia

Dillon's performance in the film earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress. A few years later, Dillon ...
The sort of natural, next-door-neighbour beauty that's rare these days in films.
Come to think of it, ANY kind of beauties are rare these days in films. Thanks to nepotism, gay casting directors, and a large ethnic bias.
49. Catherine Wagener
Actress | La grande culbute
Catherine Wagener was born on June 2, 1952 in Paris, France. She was an actress. She died on May 3, 2011 in Paris, France.

Katharine Isabelle was born Katharine Isobel Murray in Vancouver, British Columbia to Graeme Murray, an art director and production designer who has won two Emmy Awards for his special effects work on the television series The X-Files (1993) and Gail Murray, an amateur Vancouver writer and producer...
One of very few nepotists on this list.
Somewhat reminiscent of Cassandra "Elvira" Petersson from her early years.
I don't mean when Elvira was 5. Not that early.
51. Susan Sarandon
Actress | Thelma & Louise
It was after the 1968 Democratic convention and there was a casting call for a film with several roles for the kind of young people who had disrupted the convention. Two recent graduates of Catholic University in Washington DC, went to the audition in New York for Joe (1970). Chris Sarandon, who ...
Not the greatest intellectual in the world, but extremely sexy.
I was being diplomatic. Very diplomatic. UN-level diplomatic. Cosmic-Buddha-Ommm-level diplomacy.
My favourite cause? "March For April's Rights". That was righteous.
52. Sherry Jackson
Actress | The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima
Gorgeous, brown-eyed, chestnut-maned Sherry Jackson began her promising career as a pig-tailed, pleasant-looking child actress. Born in Idaho on February 15, 1942, she was the only daughter of four children born to Maurita Kathleen Gilbert and Curtis Loys Jackson, Sr. Her father died when she was 6...
That's a pretty bad photo.
53. Glenne Headly
Actress | Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
For fourteen years, she said that family was the most important thing to her and she set most of her time aside to be a "present" mother to her son. Movies, plays and television were chosen, for the most part, when they occurred in town or on a school break. She took one year to homeschool her son ...
Not exactly your classic beauty, but I couldn't care less about Barbie-doll criteria anyway. She is kind of a Chloe Sevigny type - or Chloe is a Glenne Headly type, if you prefer.
54. Jessica Marais
Actress | Love Child
Jessica Marais was born on the 29th January 1985 in South Africa and moved to Perth Australia at a young age. Recently she moved to Sydney where she has a TV role as Rachel Rafter in the Australian comedy series Packed to the Rafters. She has also recently appeared in the new Australian film Two ...
Looks great as blonde and brunette alike.
Another one of those who should be every guy's type. She looks great from every angle and every pic.

Actress | It Felt Like Love
Gina Piersanti was born in 1997 in Jersey City, New Jersey, USA. She is an actress, known for It Felt Like Love (2013), High Maintenance (2016) and Here Alone (2016).
Uber-cute. Not even a tiny ounce of testosterone anywhere.
Hear that, Cameron?
56. Nicola Peltz Beckham

One of the very few nepotists on this list. Not a blood nepotist though, but nepotisized through marriage.
Nepotisized is a new word. Yes, I am an innovator, not just an educator.

Someone upload a photo, please.
And make sure it's not when she was a granny.

Unorthodox cuteness.
Some of you might say "unattractive", but then again some of you listen to rap and vote Democrat.

Too beautiful to have her career pushed to A-list stardom. She needs to look like Drew Barrymore (and have that sort of nepotistic family pull) in order to get anywhere.
68. Anna Friel

Hollywood's Barbie doll turned flesh. Beautiful, but not as much as the gals in front of her.

And an intellect to match!
Or not.
78. Kate Winslet
Actress | Titanic
Ask Kate Winslet what she likes about any of her characters, and the word "ballsy" is bound to pop up at least once. The British actress has made a point of eschewing straightforward pretty-girl parts in favor of more devilish damsels; as a result, she's built an eclectic resume that runs the gamut...
They say she looks like a man next to Di Caprio in "Titanic". But that wasn't her fault. Leo would make ANY woman look like a man by comparison.
So next time James Cameron decides to make a lesbian couple the focus of a sinking-ship story, he might as well not beat around the bush with it and simply admit it (by giving them both girl names).
79. Virna Lisi
Actress | La reine Margot
Stunning Italian actress Virna Lisi, a brief but lovely Hollywood import in the 1960's, was merely one of a plethora of European movie beauties who proved over the course of their long careers, that they were capable of more than just visual performances.
Born Virna Lisa Pieralisi on November 8, ...
Obviously, this photo is no measure!
Come on, put another one. About 30 years older.
80. Brigitte Bardot

The French don't always try hard to find beauties for cinema, but very occasionally they find one anyway.
As different as the French and the English are, in one thing they are very similar: they are very eccentric in terms of what they consider female beauty. Both cinemas tend to pick below-par women very often and then pretend as if they are gorgeous.
This is the reason why you won't find many French actresses, considering what a big role French cinema plays internationally.
81. Carla Gugino
Actress | Watchmen
Carla Gugino was born in Sarasota, Florida, to Carl Gugino, an orthodontist. She is of Italian (father) and English-Irish (mother) ancestry.

Italian names are very cute.
Nordic ones? Not so much.

Wanna bet she's the only Caitriona Balfe on IMDb's computers?
Or in them. I wasn't suggesting she was standing on a computer.

So why would anyone want to cast women like Julia Roberts with women like this around?
86. Alexis Dziena
Actress | Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist
Dziena studied theatre in New York at The American Academy of Dramatic Arts and NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, where she wrote and acted in plays and was cast in her first role on television at the age of 17.
From 'E's' crazy, jealous girlfriend on HBO's Entourage (2004) to 'Lolita' parading around...
This is what female facial anatomy is all about, not Eva Mendez.
Eva is a bit too manly for my heterosexual taste.
87. Lana Turner
Actress | Madame X
Lana Turner had an acting ability that belied the "Sweater Girl" image MGM thrust upon her, and even many of her directors admitted that they knew she was capable of greatness (check out The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946)). Unfortunately, her private life sometimes overshadowed her professional ...
Looked good even in her 50s. One of the best-looking of that era. Pity the movies back then sucked nearly as much as in the 00s and 10s.
88. Yôko Maki
Actress | Soshite chichi ni naru
At her young age, Yoko Maki is already a well-rounded actress. 2001 proved to be a busy year for the young actress, beginning with her film debut at the age of 19, in the film Drug, directed by Hiroshi Sugawara. This was quickly followed by Pelican Road. More attention was then garnered with her ...
If you ever wondered why Sandra Oh is pushed so hard by the Establishment, despite 100000s of far better-looking and more competent Oriental actresses...
...It's because she is so belligerently PC. Politically subservient to the needs of the control-freak Establishment. Nowadays that is a PREREQUISITE to corporate media success. Which is why 95% of current A/B-list actresses and pop singers virtue-signal at every opportunity.
Sexual servitude used to be the main way to reach the Hollywood top (even for certain male actors), now political obsequiousness is just as crucial, if not more so.
89. Lola Naymark
Actress | Brodeuses
Lola Naymark was born on April 5, 1987 in Paris, France. She is an actress and director, known for Brodeuses (2004), Dans tes bras (2009) and Trepalium (2016).
Unconventional-looking, very sexy French ginger.
Looks different on nearly every photo i.e. from every angle. One of those chameleons... In other words, "once you've seen her, you haven't seen her yet". One moment barely attractive, the other beautiful.
90. Essie Davis
Actress | The Babadook
Esther Davis is an Australian actress and singer, best known for her roles as Phryne Fisher in Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries and its film adaptation, Miss Fisher & the Crypt of Tears, and as Amelia Vanek in The Babadook.

She looks good as a brunette, but I prefer her blonde version.
91. Meg Tilly
Actress | The Big Chill
Meg Tilly was set on being a dancer, and at 17 connected to the Connecticut Ballet Company and later Throne Dance Theatre. It was in this capacity that she had her screen debut in Alan Parker's Fame (1980). Unfortunately, an injury to her back cut short her plans for a dance career, and a small ...
Half-Oriental, in case you were wondering.
Her sister Jennifer is cute too, sexier than Meg, but not cute enough for the list.
92. Heather Graham
Actress | Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me
Heather Joan Graham was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to Joan (Bransfield), a schoolteacher and children's book author, and James Graham, an FBI agent. She and her sister, actress Aimee Graham, were raised by their strictly Catholic parents. They relocated often, as a result of their father's ...
The Ditz is strong with this one.
93. Marilyn Monroe
Actress | Some Like It Hot
Marilyn Monroe was an American actress, comedienne, singer, and model. Monroe is of English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh descent. She became one of the world's most enduring iconic figures and is remembered both for her winsome embodiment of the Hollywood sex symbol and her tragic personal and ...
I preferred her appearance before she started using 56 kilos of make-up and before she started making fake grimaces for nearly every photo. If she'd been a millennial, she'd have been one of those women that do plastic surgery every month, and she'd have posted terrible pouty selfies every day on Instagram. Horribly insecure and horribly thick. A precursor to the egotistical, superficial, looks-obsessed modern millennial woman.
Back in the 50s she was coerced into fixing her nose and the teeth. Just imagine what she'd be doing now - at, for example, age 50.
I read her biography. Basket case.
94. Agostina Belli
Actress | Profumo di donna
Agostina Belli was born on April 13, 1947 in Milan, Lombardy, Italy. She is an actress, known for Scent of a Woman (1974), The Career of a Chambermaid (1976) and Double Murder (1977).
Italian women aren't known for their ravishing beauty, but they sure do know hot to pick them for films. Which is why there are so many of them on the list.
Why is there no photo here? Are we too busy ramming the next 300 pics into Cameron Diaz's page, so we can't find a minute's time to place one lousy pic for Belli?
EDIT: They uploaded a pic but it's a lousy film poster. Whoever made that poster is a buffoon. Why is the guy closer than she?
95. Michelle Johnson
Actress | Blame It on Rio
Michelle Johnson was born in Anchorage, Alaska, USA on September 9, 1965, her family eventually moved to Phoenix, Arizona. She graduated from Alhambra High School one semester early in January 1984.

A bit like Heather Graham, roughly that type.

Caroline Ford is a British actress. Her mother is of Trinidadian, Scottish, and Chinese heritage, and her father is English. Caroline grew up in Chorleywood, Hertfordshire, where she attended the Carol Kristian Theatre School. She then went on to gain a Masters in History of Art from St Andrews ...
Exotic beauty. Black, Oriental, and what-not.
No nepotist connections, hence no chance at a major career.
97. Hope Davis
Actress | American Splendor
Davis, second of three children, was born in Englewood, New Jersey, the daughter of Joan, a librarian (at one time, for the elementary section of Elisabeth Morrow School), and William Davis, an engineer.

Very charismatic, this one. Some good movies, too.

Yeah, about her choice of husband...
