The Twelve Most Beautiful Women in Hollywood
( Continued from page 43) “isn’t remotely the baby doll type.”
As one enthusiastic voter put it: “In Mona’s delicate beauty there is strength, intelligence and humor.”
The photographers say that time and time again stars ask if their sitting can be given the quality they have admired in recent portraits of Loretta Young. No member of our jury denied that Loretta is beautiful in features and in coloring. But it was stressed, repeatedly, that her beauty would be less if she were less the lovely lady in thought, word and deed.
“What a face! What a face!” There is the summation of Grandma Marlene Dietrich. “She knows what to do with her provocative bone structure, too,” our jury noted, appreciatively. “Besides, she’s all human, all woman!”
Susan Hayward never was a first or last choice. Always she was listed second. Always, too, the reasons for her selection tallied. “An exotic type, crowned with the most beautiful golden red hair.”
In Rita Hayworth’s beauty personality was stressed.
“Rita’s personality really projects to make her features provocative, challenging and warm,” they said. And, “Her complexion, eyes and hair blend into something that is over-all lovely.”
Only once was there a similarity in the jury’s analyses of beauty — with Deborah Kerr and Loretta Young. For Deborah, like Loretta, would not be as lovely, our jury was agreed, in spite? of her fine features and her “delicious” coloring, if she were less gentle, kind and completely charming.
And there you have the twelve most beautiful women in Hollywood — ranging in age from nineteen to forty-six. They were chosen for many reasons. , But one fact remained constant — beauty is something over and above sheer physical perfection. It is good bones and lovely coloring, plus other things — vitality or spirituality, self-dramatization or intelligence and humor, a gentle, kind nature or exoticism.
Beauty is more than skin deep.
However, since, to be realistic, skin still is important to beauty, we consulted the make-up experts who guided our beautiful women. And we present:
